I thought Reynolds was at the end of his contract or considering retirement. Still think he has another top flight season in him, but dropping to Cove may see him manage 2 or 3. Dont really care who is giving us money, and i would add Butcher into that as well, but does either player command 6 figures?

I would love Siegrist to see out his contract or sign an extension, but he is one asset who could make us a good wedge to put back into investors pockets/team/youth, and i think we need Shanks, Fuchs and Edwards to sign extensions.

As for the 10/3/4, does that include Mulgrew and the hints towards McNulty from last season?

Who is wanting Robson?

Also he totally deserves a move but I'd love to see Benji just see his contract out and move on for free next summer. We could really do with him in the sticks for another year.

Sporle is no massive loss. Got a lot of time for him and his workrate but overall he is average.

Fuchs and Shanks new deals would be fantastic. Edwards I cant see signing an extension but if he sees out his contract I'm happy enough.

I would love to have Benji for another year - or longer. He will definitely win us points.

Personally I would miss Adrian. Just cause he was so random. But he's been here a while now and he may well fancy a move.

Fuchs & Shanks - absolutely! Both good players at premier league level. Both would probably start at any PL club outside Celtic and Newco. It would be great to hang on to them .

I like Edward's and hope we can persuade him to stay.

Mulgrew being the player/coach.

Still cannae believe some c*nt wants to spend money on Jamie Robson.

The Fun....

Might be a good move for him. He is either stagnating at Tannadice or has just reached his limit , and in my opinion that is not very good. He was a good prospect and came on a bit at times, but recently (imo) has yet again went backwards. Can't fault his effort, but wouldn't be bathird' ata' if he left.

Hopefully if he gets a move, it might give him the new lease of futba life he looks like needing.

And........ if he goes to "The Fun" our game plan would be simple , like most of our opponents, athin doon the right.

Do they no love the chubby boy Marshall over there

Do they no love the chubby boy Marshall over there

Was half joking but could see that happening.

Would be an epic meltdown over there if we signed Greg Stewart and sold them Jamie 😁

From the BBC

"United are in talks with 35-year-old Mulgrew, who had a loan spell at Tannadice from Celtic early in his career but ended the season on loan to Fleetwood Town as they finished 15th in England's League One.

"I have met with Charlie, I know Charlie very well, Tam has met with him," Asghar added. "I know he has got some other possibilities, but I am very hopeful and I think we will have Charlie in the building - I am very convinced of that.

"I think he is somebody that understands what we are trying to do here. He understands the vision, he understands what he wants to do, he is very hungry still to play, he is very hungry to look at eventually a career in coaching and I think we can provide that here at Dundee United."

Our coaching budget must be around the same as the GDP of a large African country

You can't have too many coaches.......is Mulgrew not older than the manager (sorry head-technical-performance-operative)?

I think the head of technical performance coach is 37, twelve years older than the diet coach and personal mentor of the mentoring team.
