We play 5 at the back most weeks so he was LWB. Suited him perfectly. You could see he could play play further forward though but he’s got a great ‘engine’ so marauding from deep seems best.

No, we’re Dundee. That was United. We’re mid table with a very young squad, trying to develop youth. We sold our best player to Celtic at the end of the window, Luke MacCowan - he’s a massive hole. We’ve only ‘given’ you Colin Hendry……

Not long after you signed him I came on to say that we (Dundee) had Beck on loan last season and he’d been absolutely sensational for us and although it was a step up, I really hoped, and thought, he’d be good for you. So pleased he’s managed to impress you guys too. Not just his ability but his attitude was fantastic. Last January he got recalled to Anfield as they had a left back crisis. Rangers were wanting him on loan, Celtic were meant to have offered £5M. Then Jurgen brought him on in a game with 5 minutes to go meaning he couldn’t play for anyone else last season, so we got him back. Do you think he could start for Liverpool right now if he was back there?

I watched Hendry when he was a bang average Centre Forward, definitely a better CH!

Dundee fan here. I realise we are not playing at the same level as you but Owen Beck was a total revelation for us last season. He started off slightly suspect in defence, sometimes losing the ball well up field trying something overly ambitious (which left us in the sh1t once or twice) but that side of his game really improved as the season went on. Offensively he is fantastic, it was like having Andy Robertson mark 2. Hope he produces the goods for you guys and you will cherish young Owen like we do. Good luck for the season.
