Jesus wept.
The Welsh injury curse strikes again. I swear we must have the worse record for injuries, national and club.
We're going to have non-existant depth at midfield come the next games. Levitt, Terry Taylor both ruled out.
Options at the moment are Ampadu and Morrell. Will Vaulks, Jordan James, Sheehan, Lowery, Ryan Howley etc all other options. Although the latter two seem to play a bit further forward it seems.
Worst midfielder situation I can remember for a long time.
Someone give Allen a ring! We bloody need him more than ever now.

Croatia away, Latvia home, Armenia home, Turkey away are all scheduled to take place before next season starts.
Injuries are never good but this seems to come at a really rotten time for Levitt and Cymru/Wales. Fingers crossed for him to recover strongly and either Dundee to stay up or his agent to do some hard work over next few months.

I think it's more that our talent pool is so incredibly shallow that we feel any omission of a half decent player.
He's got to get out of Dundee in the summer, they're rock bottom, losing again tonight and without his influence I can't see them improving any time soon.

Could do with a mystery dual qualified Championship CM coming out of the woodwork randomly

Gutted for him. He was probably going to play against Latvia and Armenia, he’ll be missed.

Interesting to see where he ends up next season. Dundee Utd pretty much relegated.
Don't think he'll hang around but if he does he's out of the picture we can't call up Scottish Championship players.

Expecting him to sign for someone else in the SPL. But the longer he stays there the lower his ceiling gets imo
When he came on the scene he was a decent prospect at Man United. Now he's 23 in November so he's not a youngster, and he's come off the back of 2 seasons near the bottom of the SPL
My opinion is that he needs to move to a good L1 club and hope to get promoted with them to build his career back up

Dundee United '22-'23 season: looking at relegation from the league with Levitt scoring 5 league goals in 23 starts (+3 sub appearances) and having played 2 games in UEFA Conference League. His contract is until May 2024, and I really don't think he should spend next season in the Scottish Championship if he wants to grow into his potential. |

Didn't realise had done that well in his first season there, that's quite the drop off from them. But yes agree with the overall point |

I see he's being pursued by both Hearts and Hibs (as well as Cardiff as a loanee). Certainly can't afford to stay at Dundee United and play in the Scottish Championship if he has any international ambitions. If he does secure a move and starts next season well, he may be in pole position to grab in place in the September squad given Morrell's suspension. Although he's yet to show us that he's good enough in a Wales shirt, his style of play is exactly what we are missing.

They've just let go of Kyle Magennis so there's a vacancy in centre mid, and have also qualified for Europe. Both Edinburgh clubs are much bigger than Dundee Utd too. |

Cardiff are able to sign players for a fee from January so any potential Cardiff loan bid may include an option to buy

Otherwise they could completely rig the system. It would be great to see it happen though, seeing them line up with a King-Levitt-Colwill midfield would be brilliant! |

I don't think United would be in a position to demand a loan fee, that's more the reserve of EPL clubs, especially if the loan was just a cover to sign him permanently come January when they'd get a transfer fee |

Levitt would get eaten alive in the championship,he'd play a few games then be on the bench where he would stay until a lower division move,guy's a lightweight

Backing him to do well. Maybe would have liked him to go to Championship or abroad but still a good level.
Backing him to get more minutes for Wales. Technically great little player. Applauding any player hungry and wanting to play at a high standard to keep in the picture.

He's 22. Too early to write him off in my opinion. As has been said, good technical ability and has a goal in him. Hopefully a successful season beckons for him.

I think the problem with levitt and maybe woodburn is they spent to long strolling around the u23 and under age teams looking a million dollars because they had the time and space to,maybe needed stiffer competition sooner,agree it's to early write them off completely but if they really had it they would be showing it more in the teams they have played in so far.

Levitt went on loan to Charlton at 19 having made his debut for United about a week after turning 19. Woodburn made his Liverpool (and Wales!) debut at 17 and stuck around their first team squad before heading on loan to Sheffield United at 18. I think it's harsh to accuse either of sticking around at youth level too long. Their issues were being unable to establish themselves in the first teams of their loan clubs and in Woodburn's case particularly poorly timed injuries. |

Their issues were being unable to establish themselves in the first teams of their loan clubs and in Woodburn's case particularly poorly timed injuries. At the age of 20, Levitt went on loan to Dundee United amd quickly established himself not only as a first team regular but probably as their best player. He then secured a permanent move to the same club for the following season. Unfortunately for him, United's form fell off a cliff in his second season and he himself underperformed (although he remained a first team starter) before sustaining an injured earlier this calendar year, which effectively ended his season and kept him out of the reckoning for our March and June qualifiers. Those are the facts. Whether or not he's 'bang average', 'lightweight', 'out of his depth', 'league 1 at best' or whatever other tired cliche that's applied is a matter of opinion. Personally, I see a technically gifted 22 year old (more so than any of other current options playing in his position) with the potential to be an important player for Cymru over the coming years. He may not realise his potential of course - many don't. But let's wait and see how he goes at his new club before writing him off. |
