Transfer Rumour Thread 21/22

Number 94 - like him already.

This signing could be the difference between top 6 or missing out. BBC report says he scored 33 in 116 for Coventry, Wiki says 14 in 95, someone's wrong.

Wee bit surprised this signing isn't getting more fan comment.

TA has been getting it tight from some fans, but I have to say I can’t argue with his signings and the way we have gone about our business this season so far. Yes business has been slow but I like the way we have recruited. There have been no knee jerk reactions. I know it’s early days but Courts, and the coaching staff have got us playing some decent stuff and have managed to get another 10/20 % out of players like Harkes and pawlett who are like new signings. Also on the signing front credit where credit is due mulgrew, mcmann, levitt and the Finn are all upgrades, and if they are anything to go buy then Maxi should be another quality acquisition. Well done United for getting this deal done. 🧡🖤

Ha ha - the Finn is called ILMARI NISKANEN

Immi for short but I think he might not mind we just call him Jimmy

I've got to admit that my pessimism back before the window closed has been transformed.

I was a bit sceptical about Mulgrew and was wrong on that, but I was more worried that we might lose Benji Edwards and Fuchs on top of Shankland which would have left us with a problem.

ok we lost Shankland in the end but held onto Benji Ryan and Jeando but not only that, we added McMann and Levitt. Add into the mix that TC is getting the best we've seen so far out of Pawlett and Harkes and we're starting to look like a team all of a sudden. McMann in particular, from his first game for us I felt that was a brilliant addition, the type of player that St Johnstone built their success on and that told me we're on the right lines now.

The 90 minutes at Parkhead was the best football I've seen from us in years. Patient, resilient, brave, tenacious, good in and out off possession and at times very stylish. That performance and the one v Sevco don't come about by accident.

Yes, in the second half against RC we reverted a bit to pinball when they dragged us down to their level but now overall we can see a team that's being coached to be a bit more patient in possession a bit more greedy on and off the ball and the signs are good.

This signing might turn out to be a poor one or he might be the next Nadir but either way the club has responded to the problem up front.

Fair play to Tony and TC, credit where credit is due. So far so good.

C'mon United 🧡

My thoughts as well, good post

[cybershed]

I hope he does well. He sounds like he is the type of option we were desperate for.

Agree wholeheartedly. The recruitment has been impressive.

Good post for me recruitment had been solid ever since the new owners and TA got involved to save us from the farcical low point of most of 2018

Starting with their first window January 2019 which elevated us out the doldrums with solid signings like Butcher, Harkes, Pawlett, Reynolds, gave us a solid platform to build from in the summer to hit the ground running to get out the championship, that summer we added Shankland, Liam Smith and Sporle, most of them got us promoted and kept us up first time with help from more solid signings like Edwards and Fuchs, and another good window this summer

We have built steadily and retained a solid base, I've been happy with the owners and the recruitment on the whole for the last 2.5 years

[moicher]

Shanks, Fuchs, Edwards, McMann.. Maxi? fingers crossed. There's been a few duds too but seems to be more hits than misses

[offshore_arab83]

A big able lump up front, ideal.

If McNulty is f ucked and loan deal ends then i cant say im all to disappointed tbh
