Rumours - summer signings

[stokearab]

I'm not his PA. Can remember him saying on Arabzone he'd been down to England watching players though.

You have to remember that we played Irn Bru cup games on international weekends and then our season was extended by play offs so obviously he couldn't go to as many as Taylor.

Yeah fair comment, it's only speculation, and not intended to be negative. Lets hope between them they can bring in some quality.

Let's hope so Stoke. It does sound like we should hopefully have a better equipped and more balanced squad than last season. Based on that I do expect us to finish above Falkirk this time around as they will likely have mostly the same team. We really ought to be better than last year given we have had time to acclimatise and lessons must have been learned. We most definitely are going to have more attacking options this time too plus hopefully a more settled defence. I'm predicting a title winning party next May with no need for a helicopter Sunday 😂

This serious?

You expect the manager to sign players because his employee went to watch him a couple of times? Taylor's job is to do the donkey work and give his recommendations to the manager. McKinnon quite rightly wants to see the players for himself, see how they fit in with rest of players, assess wether they'll settle in Dundee etc.

Baffles me how any United fan could share your attitude in the above post after McNamara handed out 2 and 3 year deals to duds like sweeties. Had we brought in the likes of Anier, Bodul, Bilate, Oyenuga etc on trial we might have avoided countless underwhelming performances and expensive pay offs.

Catch 22 for the club with some on here. If Ray was signing folk purely on recommendation he'd be slaughtered, bring them in for trials and gets slaughtered. Pretty ridiculous

Spot on! Some folk seriously need to get a grip

[Arabdownsouth]

The same folk who scream " sign someone please" will also immediately start writing off said signings before they even kick a ball, you couldn't make it up 🙄

So we just accept always starting pre-season with nowhere near the required team/squad and always playing catch-up?

Pre-season is a time where camaraderie can be gained, the coaches can get their ideas across etc, we will miss out on this again which can have an impact with a slow start to the season.

Fingers crossed we make the right signings though whether it is soon or well into the transfer window...that is the key cos the manager signed some amount of shyte last season

Can we wait until it actually starts before the outrage?

Of course we can't, where would be the fun in that? 😂

Was there any outrage in what I was saying? You must read posts in a very dramatic style to infer that???
