Dundee Return Not Dead Yet

Former Dundee fans favourite, Stevie Lovell may still return to Dens Park within the next few weeks after a deal with Falkirk broke down. Dundee offered the striker a deal a number of weeks ago and the deal looked dead but the last minute hitch has left Dundee with a little hope of catching the in demand striker. It is understood the striker is happy with the contract that Dundee offered him and has agreed terms but is still hunting for a better deal with SPL football and money the key values. Lovell moved back to the area and was looking at Falkirk being an ideal place to be playing his football next season but with that deal breaking down Lovell may snub SPL sides Kilmarnock and Hibernian to stay closer to home.

Dundee have left the offer on the table in the hope that the striker will join up for a second spell something he previously wasn’t keen on as it could risk the the good relationships with the fans from his first spell at the club. The Englishman scored twenty eight goals in seventy one starts for Dundee. The club had to sell Lovell to Aberdeen in 2005 because of the financial situation at Dens Park, Aberdeen paid £250,000 for the striker that Jimmy Calderwood branded surplus to requirements at Pittodrie. 

If Dundee do manage to sign Lovell, I would be a happy man. He has shown us what he has got in the past and I have no doubts he would turn on the style again – especially in the First Division. A right midfielder and the signing of Lovell would complete the Dundee squad – although with our current injury crisis we have to sign a central midfielder and a central defender, I wouldn’t mind if the latter signings were simply loan deals. A nice squad we’d have then – I continue to dream…
