You can’t be serious re Hirst? He’s awful

No. Is the son of ex pro Gordon who was previously coach at United and Hearts. Jamie has been at United since moving back to Scotland from Canada, where Dad was coaching, about 7 years ago. Now 17 has been in Scotland youth sides for last 3 or 4 years. No first team appearances yet but if he stays, that might happen next season. One of a few kids at Tannadice who are currently being watched by clubs down south.

Hirst? What has he done in a Scotland shirt that makes you say that? He’s been useless

Suspended

Scored again in his second game for them

He’s played for us for about 3 years now. He’s 16. What do you want us to do?

Was tipped for very big things. First team at Tannadice at 16 and remember a great game he played at Ibrox at centre half at that age. In hindsight maybe he should’ve stayed but..

Apparently scored with his first touch then set up a penalty later on

I’m not sure about that. Like Hickey, he has had a few really bad injuries over last 2 or 3 years. Hope not but He might not become the player we had hoped for due to these injuries . Maybe he’s not currently totally fit and that is why he’s getting no game time at all at present ? He certainly can’t be match fit and neither can Hickey

Take your point but it would be good if the likes of Hickey and Gannon-Doak got some minutes. Doak has hardly kicked a ball in last few months. Bournemouth have been using Rayan on right wing who’s actually younger than Doak and have now just replaced him with Brooks. It strikes me that he’s maybe not back to full fitness after his latest injury and same with Hickey. In fact both have had a lot of bad injuries. I do wonder if they will ever get back to their best form due to injuries. That’s why I would have liked to see Burke in squad

With Conway out, at least one of them will surely make the squad?

Hes meant to be some player. Turns 16 early next year. Although he supports the club, I would be surprised if he’s still at Tannadice after his 16th birthday

Gauld still injured unfortunately and hasn’t played for months

Ours were about £440 Including fees and were delivered within about 3 weeks after buying in March. Current price now just over £450 but pretty sure will fall in the next few weeks

They are obviously (currently) fit but wil they be match fit? In addition both have had many bad injuries already in their careers and it would be surprising to have them both firing on all cylinders so soon after the latest injuries. Still, both need to be in the team; they are far better than anyone else in their positions
