Stefan Scougall

[bricktop]

Think this lad will end up becoming the best signing this club has made in donkeys year.

I love the natural enthusiam he has got, the fact that he seems at ease with his move and his new surroundings at Bramall Lane, he also strikes me as a player who has overcome some hard times, i never realised he had lost his elder brother 7 years ago in a car accident, and the fact he was bombed out Hibs a few years ago for being too small and his football career was almost over before it really began.

I also love watching him play because he is blessed with superb skill and control, and also an marvellous footballing brain. The only real weakness i see him having is that he runs himself in to the ground and often visibally tires during the later stages of games, but that is nothing a proper pre season will sort out.

If we sign the right striker in the summer, you will see Murphy and Flynn supplying the bullets from the flanks, and Scougall being the impish, playmaking artisan who will prompt and dictate play in the middle of the park.

I honestly cant believe he is ours, and not already plying his trade a lot higher up the footballing ladder

Sshhhhhh!

2 words for him brownie ,PURE CLASS

 

[JohnDenver]

In days gone by we'd sign a player like Scougall and after a promising debut, fully expect United to beat the creativity and spontaneity right out of him.

I really think things have changed.

I liken your comment to when we signed Leon Britton and then Blackwell insisted on the team booting it 70 yards over his head.
Most fans would look at that signing and say "Wow, Blackwell is going to change his ways" .....................But No!!!
Makes you wonder why we signed him in the first place.

 

[Trigger Blade]

Most remarkable is that when he arrived, Cloughie said he was one for the future and I can't work out if he really meant that. Since his excellent debut v Fulham, he's been a fixture, but did he surprise our management team with how easily adapted?

No. I think they where trying to take the pressure off him

 

[Esablade]

It's been a great start for the lad with the goal at Wembley being the icing on the cake so far...top drawer that!

I think, like Britton, he may well be a player who thrives at higher level also...he's got stuff to work on for sure, but from what we've seen so far the lad has a lot of assets already ...a joy to watch!

UTScoogs!

Yes, SS is definitely eye-catching and has a 'footballer's brain'. Similar to that ginger lad who scored for Hull on Sunday...

Hope he doesn't get the same level of abuse as Quinn got at times

 

[boo radley]

Nigel Clough went up t'North
His budget was quite frugal
He brought us back a superstar
Stefan, Stefan Scougall

It would be great to have a song and this is the best yet.
Thanks Angef1Blade

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

He's the sort of player that i've never seen and always wanted in a United shirt.

The only issue I foresee now is how we accommodate a new striker, Baxter & Scougs all in the same line up. I think the solution would be Baxter up front & Scougs in the middle alongside Doyle/Coady or McGinn.

Is that to the tune of Yankie Doodle?
Last line would fit better as.... they call him Stefan Scoogle

I Scoogs!

I love Scoogs more!

I love Scoogs more!

You're both out. I've heard he loves Doyle. What now ey Pinchy

 

[Rollerball]

Class will shine through look back at Keegan, bremner etc and now prolly the best player in the world Messi, short in stature hugely talented, now I don't for one minute compare scoogs to messi but the boy is fast, thinks well on the ball, tenacious and not scared to go in full blooded for a tackle.
Some may say a luxury but he may just show a little luxury might just be the difference between play offs and auto promotion.
A few more gems like scoogs and back to back promotions are possible

[Sestanovich]

Who's on the ball?
Scougall, Scougall
(to the tune of Poison Arrow)

 

[Zanzibar]

Yes, SS is definitely eye-catching and has a 'footballer's brain'. Similar to that ginger lad who scored for Hull on Sunday...

No he isn't like the ginger one.
He has a high energy level as Quinn did but Quinn meandered all over the park with the ball and rarely went for the jugular as Scougal does.
Scougal much better potential

 

[Pinchy]

I love Scoogs more!

I like to Scougall, Scougall......

 

[Pinchy]

You're both out. I've heard he loves Doyle. What now ey Pinchy

I've still got you, Boo!

 

[boo radley]

I've still got you, Boo!

Yes but have you fallen in love also with your favorite non footballer that is left in the team?

He's done very well since his suspension. I don't him, though. He's not my type.

Next season, however, I think Nigel will bring in a couple of quality strikers and revert to his favoured 4-4-2. If so it's Coady and Scoogs as the two CMs for me. I both of them.

Don't like it rough eh Pinchy?

I think it sounds better to tune of 'one man went to mow' and change 'Nigel Clough' to 'Cluffy'.....

 

[Harry's Game]

Worry is I have heard that Roberto Martinez has sent scouts twice to our games specifically to watch Scougall.

 

[Pinchy]

Good. The time to worry is when no scouts come to watch you. That means your players are all fucking useless.

You can't hide players in the modern game. There are cameras everywhere and communication is instant.

Bring on the scouts. It means we have players worth watching.

I can level with that

 

[UnitedBlade]

John Collins, whose opinion I would trust, thinks Scougall has a chance to make it big.

I love players that can get the crowd out of their seat and his running and control is superb at times. He does drift out of the game at times and that may be fitness.

He's clearly in the category of "better than we had" I like him and think he'll get better.

Well done Simon and Nigel Clough.
