[ClashCityRocker]

Scottish press have posted rumours that United might be signing both Joe Piggott ( striker with Maidstone United ) and Mark Waddington ( attacking midfield player ) today.

Unfamilar with both players, but thats the rumour.

[dundeeunitedfc83]

Signing young lad for the development team, we need people now! Still no target man

[Chick A Saw]

****ing disgraceful

Why? In this case, i would be willing to give the lad a chance as if he is anything like Archie Thomas, i wont be too disappointed.

[darrenshedtastic]

[dundeeunitedfc83]

Over reaction, glad you think that! All hail McKinnon

[SmedDUm]

He played at Forfar on Tuesday.

No he didn't, he played at Forfar the week before v M'well U/20s.
Get your facts right!

P.S. Hitting the crossbar from an acrobatic effort was the closest he came to scoring.

[offshore_arab83]

aye we signed a striker - for the future - I am over excited and dripping with fanny juice and anticipation. we have played exceptionally well this season and despite a blip will be back to the high levels of Brechin at home soon. And we have a striker that will be ready in a couple of years too. You know we just need a break. 4-2-3-1 ya bass

Quote from Raymondo the blind and his latest arabzone interview that

[offshore_arab83]

im totally scunnered with the whole way our club is to be honest, as a wise poster on here once said 'its all about the beers'

[dundeeunitedfc83]

Overreacting though, come on!!

[arab81]

No overreacting. Yet another crap deadline day for us. Well played ray.

[eldorado49550]

i mind when we signed a 19 year old striker who nah **** knew of!
Andy he was called he had golden hair
give the new lad a chance FFS!!

[darrenshedtastic]

just think alot of people have always got to moan about something.

ideally we could have done with another target man or winger but budget might have dictated otherwise. we are in a much better place squad wise this season than last year where we left ourselves desperately short in a few areas.

people are going to moan about anything. picture the scene......

tomorrow afternoon =dundee united announced loan signing of (name) from english lower league side (name). the 6.3 striker signs on a loan deal until the end of the season.

most people on here would instantly go on wiki ....... oh hes only scored 5 goals in his career hes 26 years old (for example)
oh hes not played since may. Oh another dumpling who will take 3months to get up to speed.

makes his debut. ohh he never scored at hat trick hes rubbish another dud.

never can win!! give the new boy the chance.

FFS the official website states he is one for the future! mind you by rays judgement is p!sh and he may well be what we need now - but he wont play him. who knows and who trusts the folk in charge at utd to actually have a clue?

I dont. Just my opinion and that goes back a couple/few years. I am sure i was the only one highlighting issues of course - silly me.

So lets bake our season on this new 19 yr old striker for the future and rays tactical nuance and gravitas with the players. Sorted.

[Mr_Brightside]

People surprised by our lack of first team signings, where would we be getting the money to sign anyone else? Can't believe people are raging we've signed an ex Everton youth player for our developments, he won't be on a lot and could develop into a quality player and may even play a part in this promotion campaign. We've brought good players in this window, I'm giving ray the next 3 games to get the best out of them.

[arab_pat]

By "one for the future" he means one who will be a fixture in an SPL level side. Give the boy a chance in the Championship!

[Sutherland Arab]

People jumping the gun here. Raging about a 19 year old nobody knows anything about. Who could we realistically sign that will definitely do a job and want to come here? Hard to accept but we are below the likes of Killie, Partick Thistle <cough> Dees in terms of being able to attract the right players at the moment.
The boy shouldn't be written off before he's even played for us, as unlikely as it is he could be a gem. But even if he's not we have a squad of players more than capable of winning this league. It's more the tactical side that should be questioned.

Hear Hear SA.
Says a lot for the boy he's happy to upsticks from NW England & relocate at City Quay.
He's been up a couple of weeks so he's had a chance to like it & obviously does.

[RAM1971]

Look how wrong we were about 19 year old Robbie Muirhead!

[Charlie arab]

Look how wrong we were about 19 year old Robbie Muirhead!

And 19 years old Andy Robertson

[Sandeman]

Okay so I'll be the first to say.....


Welcome aboard Joe, arabest

[arab_plumber]

Really disappointed we've not added a big first team striker, this will definitely cost us this season

[Charlie arab]

Agree we should have got a big man in but I think when McDonald became available McKinnon threw his budget at him , time will tell if it's the right decision but before the season started most fans would be happy with the squad we have. Looks better than last year but performances have not been good enough so far, as I said time will tell.

[weegiearab]

On paper we look alright but we have already seen that we appear to be weak. It's fine playing the passing game but when you ain't strong enough, then you get bullied off the ball and lose possesion. Last season, we had no creativity and the players all seemed to hide and expect someone else to be the hero. We don't create enough chances and that is gonna be our downfall. Mcdonald works better with a big player next to him and defences will just mark him out the game. For me, the spine of that team should be made up with big solid players. CB, CM and CF should be ball winning , no nonsense footballers who can organise their defence, midfield and forwards.....ain't pretty but its what works in this league. Give Quinn the captains armband and lets start getting stuck into teams...we are letting teams bully us because we think that we can pass our way outta trouble but we ain't good enough for that. We need to nullify the oppositions strength before we try and play ball. We have the best squad in the league but we have one of the weakest mindsets. The team needs to develop a mean streak.

[weedude83]

I'm massively underwhelmed.
Its clear we need another striker. Someone to give us a different dimension.
It's going to be Mark Durnan thrown uptop when we need height & power again and that's ****ing criminal for me.
We're very easy to play against at the moment. Nobody to bully defenders.

[Charlie arab]

What youd gie for another John Daly aye, him and McDonald up front would run riot.
