Johnny Russell

He looks good, I agree but so did Beattie, mcfadden and Jo afer the first two games. It's a little early to be counting chickens.

Beattie got sent off in his first game

Beattie got sent off in his first game

Yeah, but only because he saw how we treated the last player to head-butt an opponent and thought that was a way in.

*5th game.

Beattie got shot in his first game

Would have been a better outcome all round.

Utd fan in peace, before i bang on about russell, hats off to your start to the season. up there with swansea playing the best football so far.

anyway, watched johnny progress through youth ranks at united for many years now. he spent alot of time as a youngster out on loan with goodwillie at raith rovers which, seeing him in his first season for united seemed to have helped his all round game. as i saw from the friendly we played against everton last month, there is a massive step up in fitness and i think johnny would be capable of stepping up. he has great strength for a wee guy, and is a total nightmare for big defenders if he runs at them. he's got some shot on him as well. never gives up and can run non stop for the 90mins. still got a long way to go though. plays for scotland under 21s in ever game and was given his first scotland call up last season. tactically he is great, works with jon daly our target man very well and links up with widemen. he's the total opposite from goodwille in my opinion. small, strong, lightening fast, can shoot from anywhere and has a great attitude. would be sad to see him go as this is only his second season in the united first team but would love him to eventually move to a club like everton. great manager and great fans. good luck guys.

Small point to make. I can think of two former strikers that started their careers at Tannadice, Big Dunc & Andy Gray......neither of them were too bad!!!
