This has been some effort from the recruitment team. Into double figures.
All unknown quantities but got to admit I?m kinda getting excited by the all the signing so far.
Looks like JG has stuck by his statmemet about getting more pace in the final 3rd.
Also midfield looks like it?s shaping up well (think we are still looking to bring Luca back) and the defence (land of the giants) has got potential too.
Alan temple saying that JG looking to further bolster attack too.
We also have Sam miller Thomson and Kia as options but I get the feeling that some if not all may go out on loan at least until Xmas.
Well done JG and the team for getting so much business done early 🖤🧡

I think the marketing and sponsorship team at the club also deserve a mention.
I've never known the club to be so active in fundraising through these revenue streams and it looks like some of that income is supporting the player budget.
On paper this could be the most exciting side assembled at Tannadice for years.
Looks like we have added height pace athleticism flair and skill. If these players click we're in for a treat.
However we're going to be missing that British spine of Walton Graham Gallacher Holt Stephenson and Docherty (when available). These players could do it on a rainy Tuesday night in Stoke*
Hopefully our new signings bring that warrior battling quality when the chips are down.
*other rainy cities are available
On the plus side we won't be seeing the players none of us will miss from last season.
Bring it on 🧡
Yeah papers saying JG exploring the possibility of bringing him back! Hopefully there is something we have yet to experience because from what I witnessed last season he looked like he had a win a competition!!
Not seen any mention of the Oldham game so suppose this is as good as anywhere for an opinion on what i saw!
Down side was only SCH and Sibbs of a Scottish persuasion, but both of them performed better than i expected from reports ive heard. Not gonna mention Ferry or Traps, mainly because we know what to expect from them.
Cant remember either keeper doing much wrong, and was very impressed with Iovu who mostly strolled the game, and Keresztes impressed being so new to the squad, especially some of the sliding tackles.
Pappoe was a stand out for me and maybe the best on the day, but i need to see more of Naamo, Fatah and Sapsford.
JG has something to think about though as he has a choice in midfield between Pappoe and Camara, Sevelj and Sibbs, then Campbell(please no) and Stephenson might still get added to that. Add Dolcek and i think we have the basis for a decent squad, but now ive said that, im sure it will bite me soon enough!
Strain though, i dont know what it is, but he seemed to come on fine, but im sure he was caught with his head spinning when we needed some decisive action. Came to nought but might cost us staring tomorrow.
Seems we are in a decent position to add 2-3 more and JG seems relaxed about it
Saw this elsewhere regarding Luca

The transfer window, for teams like United, has become a game of two halves in recent years.
There is the early part, where clubs get free agents in as permanent signings.
Then there is the later period when English clubs have largely sorted their squads out for the coming season and decided which of their fringe players might benefit from going out on loan. And that’s when the Premier League clubs’ very promising youngsters, sucked in to their moneyed youth systems from all over the world, are sent to be tested in a tough league like ours or an English Championship club.
The signings made in this second portion of the window might be what makes or breaks the season for us, and for our rival clubs in this league.
Luka has the heart of a lion but honestly I can't ever see him being good enough for the EPL especially at Liverpool. Also where does he fit in our team now? We are going to be overflowing with central midfielders
