Murray 'buzzing' with Pressley's ideas but 'patience' required

Yahoo3 days ago
New captain Simon Murray says the Dundee squad are "buzzing" with the new ideas Steven Pressley is implementing but admits "patience" is required from the support.
Pressley's tenure began with a League Cup group-stage exit as back-to-back defeats to Airdrie and Alloa were followed by wins over Bonnyrigg and Montrose.
The Dark Blues get the new Premiership campaign under way on Sunday with the visit of Hibs.
Striker Murray, who was appointed skipper by new boss Pressley last month, told Sky Sports: "It's a privilege to be named captain.
"It's been great so far. The boys have been buzzing in terms of the ideas and the way that we want to play.
"When you change the system, it's just getting that practice all the time, keep doing it and just getting used to it. When we get results, we'll all be happy.
"There's been change in the summer, and it's just new ideas.
"We've had some players come in, so it's just building these relationships and trying put into play what the manager wants, and that will take time. He knows that.
"It's just asking the supporters for some patience. We've got an exciting season to look forward to starting on Sunday.
"We're working hard on the training ground, getting the ideas in, working, building the relationships with our team-mates. Hopefully it will come good."

Ajax new boy Oscar Gloukh welcomes the pressure: 'It gives me goosebumps, I can't wait for the first match'

Oscar Gloukh recently gave his first Ajax interview. The Israeli spoke to the club's media about the type of player he is and had particular praise for the infamous 2018/19 team. The 21-year-old playmaker was officially presented at Ajax on Friday evening, and spoke plainly about his on-field traits. 'I love dribbling, passing, scoring, and providing assists,' were the first words of the newest signing, who didn't hesitate for a moment when Ajax announced their interest. 'I wanted to go straight away because I want to play for teams that are going for titles.' Apparently, Ajax already had their eye on Gloukh during his time at Maccabi Tel Aviv. 'We had discussions back then, and I really wanted to go. Ultimately, I left for Salzburg. But now I'm here, and I feel great. This club is huge.' In his teenage years, Gloukh often watched Ajax, he says. The 2018/19 season, in which they reached the Champions League semifinals, is especially etched in memory. 'Dusan Tadic was one of my favourite players. He was a real leader. I also thought Frenkie de Jong was a great player. They made history back then.' In Amsterdam, the new number 10 is following in the footsteps of Tadic. He realises that comes with pressure. 'I know Dennis Bergkamp played with that number too. There's a lot of pressure on me to perform. But I love it. It gives me goosebumps. I can't wait for the first match.' GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

🚨 BREAKING: Wolves complete move for AZ's David Møller Wolfe

Wolves have added further quality to the senior team after losing key names this summer, with the club confirming a completed deal for AZ and Norway left-back David Møller Wolfe. After the loss of Rayan Aït-Nouri to English giants Manchester City, the Midlands club needed an established presence on the left side of the back line under Vítor Pereira, with the 23-year-old arriving at the Molineux in a deal worth just under £10m (€11.5million). A defensive stalwart at AFAS Stadion across two seasons in the Eredivisie, making 92 appearances for De Kaasboeren across all competitions and helping the club remain a top-five presence on the domestic front. The twelve-time capped defender will link up with compatriot Jørgen Strand Larsen, who joined the club on a full deal from Celta de Vigo earlier in the summer window. 📸 Alex Bierens de Haan - 2025 Getty Images

🚨 BREAKING: Newcastle 'submit formal bid' to Leipzig for Benjamin Šeško

Newcastle United have submitted a formal offer to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško, according to Sky Sports News reporter Keith Downie. The bid, worth €75million plus €5m in add-ons (£69.8m in total), meets the Bundesliga club's valuation of the 22-year-old Slovenia international. It is understood Newcastle have also outlined their long-term project to Šeško and made clear their desire to bring him to St James' Park this summer. Šeško is now considering his options, with Manchester United also in the running. The forward is said to be open to both proposals. Šeško scored 21 goals in all competitions for Leipzig last season and has long been seen as one of Europe's brightest young strikers. He joined the German club from sister side Red Bull Salzburg in 2023. The Magpies are looking to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new campaign and view Šeško as a marquee addition. 📸 Stuart Franklin - 2025 Getty Images
