Tumshie RFC 0 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Is this the last year of his contract with United ?Iy's a lot of cash if he is imo. I think he signed an extension in January. I think his is contracted to the summer of 2013 or 2014 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim1955 12 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I've just read that he's under contract till 2014. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'm not overly thrilled about Goodwillie. There is no denying he's a good player, and deserved YPOTY, but somehow I don't feel signing him should be that high on our list of priorities. I do think he's worth 2M, but I'm just not that bothered if we don't get him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 1,876 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I think with Goodwillie there is a good bit of potential. He has pace, an eye for goal and decent technique. Temperment-wise is where I'd worry. He seems to be the kind of guy that would enjoy hitting the town and that is bound to cause him problems as a more high profile player. And given his recent past re the alleged rape, he doesn't have his problems to seek, not lease as the case hasn't been concluded either way. It seems way too risky a proposition for me 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) So, late last night Skysports released news saying it 'understands Rangers have made a formal approach for Dundee Utd striker David Goodwillie', then this afternoon they're saying there's been no bid for the player and that 'Peter Houston has suggested striker David Goodwillie is too expensive for Rangers'. We'll that blows any misguided ideas about �£10m or �£12m warchests firmly out of the water then.... Not that I ever believed that nonsense in the first place right enough.

Zappa 0 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 There is no denying he's a good player, and deserved YPOTY He might be ginger and oirish, but tbh I'd say Rooney at ICT maybe had a better season than Goodwillie. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'm guessing all that's happened is we've officially asked United how much their valuation of the player is and over the next few days will either open negotiations or not. The Houston comment I saw could be taken either of two ways depending how you want to spin it. On one hand it could be used to infer the price was too expensive because we're skint. On the other it could actually just mean that we think he's over-priced. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 It's the usual wrangling with transfers. They want as much as they can get and we want him for as little as we can. I'm sure if we want him, we will meet the asking price. The problem is if a club down south comes in. United would rather he went south that to Rangers, I'd say, as well as the chance of them getting more cash for him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
