de Vries off for good?

[maffyou]

MDV scored 13 Goals in 35 Starts for us....Fryatt has scored 6 Goals in 18 Starts so far.Draw your own conclusions.

Fryatts only young and is still developing as a player, though. De Vries is about 30 odd. Isn't it interesting, though, that De Vries' two best games for us were Charlton and Spurs. Why did he seem to do better against premiership opposition?

(I do have to admit its nice talking about him in the past tense)

your new assignment, list every team he played poorly against

He played well against two

Comparing Claridge and Cottee to D.Vries is like comparing

a Smart car to a Mercedes ...one gets you there just, the other quick, stylish and with class.

Claridge = Quick, stylish and with class That is the first and last time I ever expect to hear that

actually its probably more like comparing a skoda to a VW. both do the same job, but you would sooner have the latter because of reputation only. nothing to do with being objective. (skoda are VWs in disguise)

He was too easily bullied off the ball, had a rubbish first touch and couldn't hold the ball up. He would though act as a target man if we continue to play aerial football. Agree that his treatment by a section of 'fans' was ott, perhaps we expected too much.

 

[Muzzy's Right Boot]

I agree. Same thing happened to Jordan Stewert and is currently happening to Josh low and to a lesser degree Momo.

Personally i thought deep freeze was alrite. yes he had his shite matches but he did show some glimpses of a player. I think a lot of it had to do with confidence. i thought he started last season fairly well then he was kinda made the scapegoat as we plummeted. WHEREAS ....

Jordan Stewart was shocking. he was an arrogant, lazy bas@%$d who was promising as a teenager but rubbish as he matured. You only have to watch him for Watford now. terrible.

Josh Low looks about as bad. he literally doesn't offer us any thing. i was all for keeping faith with him and seeing if he adapted but his performance against villa was a disgrace.

Momo is lazy, frustrating but he does have ability. in recent matches i think he's started to show that

Leicester striker Mark de Vries wants to join his former Hearts boss Craig Levein at Dundee United.
(Daily Record) - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/gossip_and_transfers/default.stm

hardly suprising really, but why does every manager insist on signing and playing 1 shit player all the time??
I think if we get a fee for him we will be very lucky considering his situation with us and the fact that Levein only paid £50,000 or so for him to bring him here.

Which reminds me, with Palace dropping like a stone, I wonder if PT has looked up Junior's number yet.....

Levein plays down De Vries link

New Dundee United boss Craig Levein has dampened speculation about a move for Mark de Vries after voicing concern over the striker's fitness.


Levein signed the hit-man for both Hearts and Leicester City and reports in the Scottish media suggested he was ready to bring the 31-year-old to Tannadice as well.
De Vries, who is currently on loan at Dutch outfit ADO Den Haag from The Walkers Stadium, has revealed he would be keen to link up with his former mentor once again, with rumours of a reunion fuelled by Levein's determination to reinforce his striking options.
However the United boss says he has not been in contact with his former charge, and that a lack of match fitness is likely to prove prohibitive to a January transfer.
"I've not spoken with Mark for a while so the first I heard about this was when I read the papers," said Levein in the Daily Record.
"It's been a case of someone putting two and two together and giving him a call because you can see we need more strikers here and I've already said a target man would give us a different option.
"With Mark I don't think he has played too much football this year and come January I will be looking to get players who are match fit."
Levein is also anticipating that United will be linked with Hearts defender Steven Pressley after he was dramatically left out of Monday's game against Falkirk with rumours flying around about a dressing room mutiny.
Whilst Hearts are still to confirm if Pressley has been stripped of the captaincy, his future at Tynecastle looks very much in doubt, but Levein has already ruled himself out of a likely race for the Scottish international. "It will be no surprise if Steven is linked with us but I really don't think we can afford him," Levein insisted.

he was far from fit when he brought him here!

Exactly, for the first couple couple of months that geezer from The Proclaimers kept telling us that MDV wasn't fully fit. Hypocritical twat

 

[Profondo Rosso]

So is he going or not??

 

[bocadillo]

Still the highest paid player at the club, get the fecker off the wage bill sharpish.

Are you sure about that? What about Williams?

 

[Durham Fox]

Are you sure about that? What about Williams?

No idea about Williams, I was tld by someone ho should know that de Vries was the highest paid player. Do you know different Boc?

 

[Jeff]

Are you sure about that? What about Williams?

Isn't Williams rumoured to be on something like £5k a week?

 

[bocadillo]

He was too easily bullied off the ball, had a rubbish first touch and couldn't hold the ball up. He would though act as a target man if we continue to play aerial football. Agree that his treatment by a section of 'fans' was ott, perhaps we expected too much.

But that was the whole trouble - we tried to play him as a target man, just because he was big. Round peg - square hole!

 

[bocadillo]

No idea about Williams, I was tld by someone ho should know that de Vries was the highest paid player. Do you know different Boc?

I was told by somebody who should know that Williams was the highest-paid player. Either your somebody or my somebody might or might not be right! :icon_wink

From Jeffs figure there isnt a great deal in it.
