Lutz worked a lot on tv doing co-comms with Derek Rae so will likely have seen some of them 2bf. On the face of it Geiger is a player who should be out of our range, even on loan let alone with an option, if you ask me though.

yeah that's about the size of it. what could go worng?

Geiger doesn't look like a holding midfielder from the little I've seen. Far more a B2B, in your face cm but time will tell on that. He also hasn't played for 6 months so I'm not exactly xpecting miracles from him straight away. A lot will depend on how fit he has kept himself but he didn't look to be carryin pork in his RTV interview.

would seem a good choice for him

So we now have Shinnie, Nilsen, Armstrong, Aremu, Geiger, Cameron and Palaversa for the central midfield positions. Suspect the club will be trying to move Palaversa also

nailed it

Of course but there will defo be pressure to play the record signing regardless of who they get in. One thing for sure is this is a fascinating move. It will all come down to whether the kid sinks or swims ultimately but you would hope he would at least get the opportunity to prove one or the other. Verona are bottom of Serie A but only 4 points off safety, there's real opportunity here for Bowie to make a name for himself.

we're signing players without a manager 2bf Jute. I suspect the board would have likely known the manager was getting binned when signing off on the deal though so not overly concerned for his future just yet.

I would say thats a great bit of business for Dundee should he stay fit.

Regardless of cm places available it does sound like this guy is better than anyone we currently have to play the position. Let's see how he does I guess. Really hoping we see Aouchiche and Palaversa moved on in what's left of the window as they are clearly out of the frame and will be on a sizeable wage.

We're going to fucking batter them 3-0 with a Mitov hattrick!

One thing I would add that I mentioned in the summer. We should put serious consideration into resigning Bruce Anderson. He's always a complete pain the arse to play against and he's always good for a goal

Armstrong and Cameron have shown a couple of nice touches here and there but overall it looks like they are playing in quicksand

Well this hasn't gone to plan, indeed it's turned into a bit of a dog's dinner!

I know that. But all the captains and all the players have held, and showed off the replica, too. Eg the cup I held was the same one that was held aloft on the parade.

Did consider it but, no, they are where they belong imo.

As discussed. All other pet pics and stories are of course welcome but Swaddons suggestion for a name for the thread was just too good to turn down.

Well we're going to have to now!

Thanks Al. The only thing we can't protect them from is time. 7 out of the 10 years I had Wyv I was able to have him with me whilst working. Thankfully one of those years was the last one and we were rarely apart for more than a few hours in his final year. I would genuinely crawl over a mile of broken glass for my now friend Ruth who gave me the job that allowed that to happen. Personally I would only take on another dog if I was doing it with the right person and they were OK with that dog being a Mal. We should probably start a dog's/pets thread in off topic come to think of it.

This is the best match thread ever!! More dogs! Here's mine, his name was Wyvis and sadly he passed away a year and half ago. I'm still broken by it . Also he was an Alaskan Malamute not a fucking husky (used to do my head in when people called him a husky)

Didn't know you had a dog Al. I'm afraid you're going to have give us details and pictures of said dog please. And when I say please I mean immediately Post it here too, we need more dog pics in match threads

Thoughts and prayers

Incidently have you heard anything about how many candidates are being interviewed at all?

The anarchist in me almost hopes it's the former for the bants

It may yet end up being Leven until the summer. It's not ideal but it's not as bad as appointing someone like the fucking tourist to interim. It would also give him good experience given he's clearly being groomed for the big job somewhere down the line.
