Yeah there are teams paying less and signing players forfar arbroath montrose brechin just angus teams that are paying less and signing players but that does not mean they are player I want us to sign don't think auld charlie would have signed for any of them but think any of them would have loved him to.

You're not getting the point. These teams aren't signing players that would improve us, of course they aren't, but they're signing players that would improve them!! That's the point. If they can do it, why can't we?

We need players that can improve us on our budget where do we find them?I think they are out there but don't know where we have probably seen thousands of players that would improve us but most we cant afford others won't sign for us for one reason or another so we can either keep looking or just sign anyone to make up the numbers know what I prefer .

I dont think you can discount every player who has signed up with other teams. May turn out to be a few gem out there who will keep their team safe and get a big move elsewhere, which is essentially what our whole objective appears to be.

Yet another fear of mine is that the 9 are looking at the stats rather than the actual player and TC and friends are missing out on a player who could be improved.

I think any signing is too late to matter for this weekend, or even this month now, so i hope we do get 3 or 4 brought in soon enough, but nothing last minute please!

How do you explain that the likes of St Mirren Livi Motherwell and St Johnstone have all signed better midfield players in recent times than we have? And not just midfielders tbh

Yeah if they all have better players than us then they are being run better than us and are better teams than us have no arguement there teams with the best players are the best teams.Does not mean I am going to turn on utd I am hoping you are wrong and with our young guys and experienced players we are better than those teams you have mentioned that you think are better than us.You never mentioned that motherwell lost 17 players who were out of contract at the end of last season?

Maybe it’s not so much about budget and more to do with players and agents no fancying United at this time? after all we’ve not been setting the world on fire with scintillating fitba, last season saw one good game ffs, and I can’t remember if there was a decent display the season before? Reckon we need to ride out the storm, hope we have a decent first half of the season and get clear of trouble, see the return of away fans which brings in the ***** funds needed to entice the players everyone wants to see at Tannadice, and then maybe we get back to where we like to think we should be.

The main thing for me though is encouragement, this is what these players, especially the young lads coming through will need from the support. Get behind the club lads, only four days to go so let’s be United 🖤🧡🖤🧡

Think that's an excellent post on several levels. You're also alluding to something I've felt unable to post, which is somehow we've maybe made ourselves unfashionable. Never thought I'd say that tbh. Appointing a rookie manager recently has maybe cemented that a bit.

I may be wrong but I think they are looking and trying to find players to improve us but you may be right and they are not ?

The teams outwith the Glasgow 2 are littered with good players who weren't bought for fees. Players that were brought in as a result of good scouting. Loads. Are you telling me that these teams can pay more than we can?

The reason none of these players turned up at Tannadice were a) we were in the Championship b ) many won't command a sell on fee c) they would keep a youth player out of the shop window

There's a reason we've extended contracts for many players who should be away. Can you not see it yet?

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.

This is hard work mate. I'm not saying the teams I mentioned are "better than us" I'm saying they manage to recruit SOME excellent players. SOME in midfield.
So why can't WE? Simple as that really.
(Fuchs being the sole exception so far)

And I'm not turning on United, never have done since I started supporting the club.
Constructive criticism isn't turning on your club, it's wanting the best for your club. So please take that back.

If you accept mediocrity you'll get mediocrity every time.
