Confirmed

Dundee United have agreed to terminate Frederic Frans’ contract.

The Belgian defender still had this season left on his Tannadice deal but has now come to an early settlement.

It will let the 30-year-old move on as a free agent after the window closes.

The former Partick Thistle player was signed by Csaba Laszlo but was deemed surplus to requirements under Robbie Neilson.

United’s first-choice pairing has been Mark Reynolds and Mark Connolly, with Callum Butcher dropping back one if either was missing.

I really hope we are getting soemone else in as Connolly is a bombscare IMO.

I would like to know Butchers opinion on playing centre back for the rest of this season.

If he is happy to play there, I am more than happy to watch him play there.

Causes a few other problems I know but, he is facing the game for 90 minutes , very vocal when required , hard in the tackle, good in the air. Distribution pretty good , even when forced to bypass the midfield .

I would be more than happy with Reynolds , Butcher , Watson as our 3 main centre backs , sorry for Connelly, he gives his all , but in my opinion is always prone to a few scary moments.

Watson over Connolly for centre back, that's just mental

Really ??? Obviously if it was Reynolds and Butcher as the regs, Watson would be back up. Are you comfy with Connely at CB?

[Arab 8010]

I think he's a better option than Watson. Agree that the Reynolds/Butcher partnership has been good the last couple of games though

The lack of panic at the back and the calmer ball out in my opinion has to have something to do with Butcher being influential in there. (just my opinion) I feel for Connelly because you can see he wants to win but, It is all about decisions at the correct time and as a centre half winning at least more than 50/50. I am not convinced he can do this. Butchers long balls started with a heads up look and a decent delivery, unlike a huge punt. Maybe I'm being picky but, its Reynolds, Butcher , Watson for me.

Did you watch Watson at centre back against East Fife? Brutal. Connelly is a far far better player than him.

[JamesMcClean]

I’m just glad that Thompson’s still no in charge. He’d be looking to punt Shankland after month number one.

Agreed, this Connolly stuff is just stupid, he is not that bad for us, he was carrying an injury so probably was rushed back

Better than Watson easily

Sow interesting Killie allegedly. God knows why
