Transfer Rumour Thread 21/22

Really mate if it is hard work ignore my posts I am not here to make you're life hard.

Well let's sum it up. You're slagging me off for turning on the club, I'm not going to ignore that.

You're happy with things, many are not.
Let's leave it at that because you've not changed your position in weeks and I'm not changing mine.

lets start a list if players that might fit our needs and budget and we can hope that someone at the club is looking in....I'll start with Barrie Mckay who is without a club.

I say again, Greg Stewart.

Barrie McKay appears a bit of a risk if his early career is to be believed from Wiki.

Not really happy mate would love to come on here tomorrow and see utd have signed 11 new players all better than what we have but if it does not happen will just have to go with what we have and put my trust in my club their manager and players like I have done all my life even when I never thought they had the best team in the world.

Well really if that is the reason you think utd don't want to sign players that would improve them because they will keep young guys out of the team and will not have sell on fee's could you explain the only two signings we have made?You really think utd don't want to improve so they can sell all the young guys they have in their youth team?I can't argue with that if it is really what you think.

We have retained certain players that at other clubs would not have been retained. Imo the reason weve done that is as an insurance policy while we play more Academy players in the first 11. I posted this last night.

We bought Shankland and Fuchs partly in Shanklands case to get us up but to profit on. Pretty sure TA considered Fuchs might be the next Kamara. So there's your model. Sell in potential or youth prospect.
Edwards was a MM signing which TA agreed to in order to keep us in the division and between him and Benji they did.
Mulgrew is regarded as odd because Reynolds is still here. Maybe they thought Edwards/Smith/Reynolds were away, but he still fits the profile of older players who can steady youth flooding into the first 11.

Have to agree with greg stewart chick really don't know if we have shown any interest in him but if not why not?

I was, still am intrigued by Stewart. Undoubted quality.
If you read the Dee boards they see him as a bit of a lazy player, and expensive. They are currently saying they wouldn't have him but that's probably because deep down they know he wont go back to them. Interesting that one poster said he didn't want him at Dens but didn't want him signing for us.

Could be absolutely what we're crying out for.

Will sign for St Johnstone.

Can only think its because he is 31 and no sell on prospects.

I really don't know why we have retained certain players but they have all done a job for us from time to time in a perfect world I probably would not have resigned some players MM or TA or both resigned but as I have asked who should we have signed instead?I don't know what we have to offer know there are thousands of players the world over that could improve us know we could not afford lots of them know lots of others would not come to us so still leaves some we have signed shankland fuchs edwards and a few others that can do a job but again in a perfect world I would like better .I was there when we won the league I would love a team like that again but don't think it will ever happen but can dream .What I know is it took time to build that team and will take time to build another decent team and the negitivity in the ranks will not help in any way.

To be fair mate the two signings we have made are no spring chickens know people like to make out utd will just sign kids to sell on but the facts say exactly the opposite.
