Dundee FC boss Steven Pressley on transfer patience
Dundee FC boss Steven Pressley is happy to wait for the right players to join the club, rather than rushing through transfers. With six new signings already this summer, Pressley is looking to add another four players to the squad before the end of the transfer window.
What happened?
Dundee FC have already added six players to their ranks this summer, but have seen 11 players leave the club. Six more players have returned to their parent clubs following the expiration of their loan deals. Pressley is looking to bring in players who will improve the squad, rather than just making signings for the sake of it.
Why it matters for Dundee FC
The transfer window is a crucial time for any football club, and Dundee FC are no exception. With the club currently sitting 9th in the Premiership, 37 points behind leaders Heart of Midlothian, Pressley knows that the right signings can make all the difference. The team has scored 34 goals this season, but conceded 53, leaving them with a -19 goal difference.
What comes next?
Pressley is confident that the club can find the right players to improve the squad. "We're always working hard on players," he said. "We're trying to get the players that we really want to bring in. We've been quite selective around that. Sometimes you need to be patient." The club will be looking to make the right signings in the coming weeks, and Pressley is optimistic that they can find the players they need to improve the squad.
