Johnny Russell

[TarquinDelouche]

2206: BBC Sport Scotland's Brian McLauchlin on Twitter: "Sheffield United have bid turned down for Dundee United striker Johnny Russell. Burnley showing late interest in the player."

 

[MattBlade]

never seen him play but might do well in this league

 

[ThatJa]

Can't see this one happening.

Dundee United have turned down a bid from Sheffield United for Johnny Russell, BBC Scotland has learned.
The League One side's deadline day offer, believed to be around £400,000, is well below United's valuation.
Championship team Burnley may also show late interest in 22-year-old Russell, who has scored 14 times for the Tannadice club this season.
United appointed Jackie McNamara as their new manager on Wednesday following Peter Houston's departure.

Token gesture, methinks

 

[MattBlade]

Scored two against rangers at weekend and had a cracking game... real shame we didnt increase our bid and actually make an effort to sign him

Hasn't he been touted in the mils though? Out of our league.

if thats right why did we make a pathetic bid of 400,000 or was that before we knew his price tag?

You can be certain our "offer" was merely a token effort so that McCabe/Wilson could trawl out the same owd, "we tried but......" line.

 

[Kenilworth]

Johnny Russell?

Isn't that an irritatingly loud prophylactic?

 

[Blade58]

Since the "£400k bid" hasn't Wilson been on denying any such thing saying we were never in for him?

Let's be reyt here, if reports are true about Wilson saying short term contracts and loans only, how the f'k can we have bid the £400k anyway?

Yes he did state that no bid was made in an interview I heard

Let's be reyt here Wilson has said that there are not going to be any loans so it appears that three is no money for short term contracts or loans either.

Johnny Russell Russell here comes Johnny Russel Johnny Johnny Russell lay it on me

worth a punt

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

Doesn't seem to be getting a mention on here but Clough said on the radio last night that he would be interested in bringing him t'lane and will be asking Derby about his availability.

Looked a really good player for Dundee United. Think he's been injured since he went to Derby, thoughts?

 

[UnitedBlade]

A Jonathan King "song", I don't think so.

 

[true99blade]

Didn't Derby say there's more chance of Christmas been cancelled than Johnny Russell signing for Sheffield United?
Yeah sounds like a done deal.

 

[blade too long]

only report what the Stars reporting . he does seem ok though

[Bookers Mullet]

I'm sure Derby said there was more chance of christmas being cancelled than him going on loan, which is a shame as I think he'd be really good for us!

 

[SandyMcBlade]

I remember when United went to Watford to try and sign Stewart Scullion, who turned us down flat, so they signed an 18 year old kid from their reserves called Tony Currie instead..

You never know.

Blue Moons of that quality in my lifetime = Currie and Deane
Quite sad really

We could be due a new Messiah ?

 

[GRENO]

I'm sure Murphy looked the same for Motherwell so excuse me if i don't get to excited.

 

[s4-blade]

still relatively unproven in this country tho! In NC we trust

 

[broomhillblade]

I remember Jane Russell.

A good two upfront...

 

[LoughboroBlade]

0 United appearances, 1 United goal.

Gerrimsigned.

 

[Esablade]

0 United appearances, 1 United goal.

Gerrimsigned.

£500k....no.1 target.
You knows it makes sense Wilder

 

[Ricky]

Let's offer about 100k and pretend we've got a chance of signing him.....

 

[JJBlade]

I'm sure I read on Derbys fans forum a message that was posted at 2.48 pm before the game started that Jonny Russell would score in his own net

That's spooky

 

[Boxer Blade]

Not when you saw the strike it wasn't, he may be a few quid better off today

 

[SUFC Guy]

Didn't he get boo'd off by the rammers?

 

[Ricky]

They don't seem to like him, and he needs a move.

I'd take him at the right price. Don't think he's got long left on his contract.
