Interesting piece. Good to see that our recruitment is expansive and targeting sought after young lads again. This partnership along with St. John’s and baldragon will see us reap the beneifts in years to come. 👍

Agree. Plus it's not as if we'll be looking for loads of players. From the thousands available we might be looking at 3 or 4.
Also depends how many are leaving.

Considering it's likely we'll sign a max of 4 players in the summer, I'd rather these players were acquired via a Fuchs-style route of taking them from a club whilst still under contract, instead of looking at pre-contracts/out of contract players.

It's an article that shows the human side of football. I hope the players appreciate that and pay him back on the pitch.

Any particular reason for that?

Jake Davidson loan at Arbroath terminated due to a knee injury

Would like to see a big centre forward who also has the ability to hold the ball, pass and gave pace.
Also do with a pacy winger, pacy centre half ie Laporte, Haaland and Ronaldo types

"Lawrence Shankland puts Dundee United on transfer alert as Scotland striker switches agent"

Seen that last night, same agents as Clark now.

I don't know if this means he's more likely to leave or not? does it make any difference?

FWIW i do think he will leave this summer and we probably should try and cash in while we can, doubt he would accept another deal, unless MM changes the way we play next season.
