Transfer Rumour Thread 22/23

[JamesMcClean]

Same mate, be a very positive start to building for the new season.

Well we need a bit of positivity. To date since the end of the season it’s been all outgoings with no incomings, bar Jack Ross. Harkes in particular is starting to really piss me off. It’s starting to sound that he is taking cold feet over a verbally agreed deal and frankly is wanting to have his cake and eat it by blatantly making us hold on while he explores other options with the fallback that he just sign on with us should that fall through. He can GTF with that. We need to be getting on with things - if he’s staying then fine but if he’s going then FFS let us know to at least give us time to sort out his replacement. Frankly we need to set him a firm deadline (end of this week for example) and that if he’s not signed by then well thanks very much but off you pop. The clock to the start of the season is ticking here………………

Ffs GB which players are 'frightening' that are signing for them? Or are you meaning the sheer volume? Hibs and Sheep HAD to completely revamp their starting 11s so were always going to go crazy with signings. Hearts are guaranteed 8 Euro matches before Xmas so need to bulk their squad out even more.

Saw someone say that from our starting 11 v County last game of the season that only Benji and Levitt are away. YES we have big gaps to fill but plenty of time to do it.

It was just the volume of players mate,James with the post above has saved me a lot of typing this morning.

I do think Harkes is over rated but on his game he's good for us, needs to be more consistent though.
Your speculative comments are unfair on Harkes btw, especially if untrue, if it's true then the blame lies with Tony for allowing himself to be dictated to, for what it's worth I can't see it being the latter.
I'd rather Tony does the business quietly and announce when we have signed someone rather than this constant story of X now in for someone we are after.

As things stand we are considerably weaker than last season. But we won't start the season with the current squad so we have to wait and see how it pans out.

The Harkes situation is an interesting one and it's difficult to read. Folk are assuming the delay is down to him but it could easily be us taking time to try and persuade him to sign a multi year deal.

Agree. Tony does not strike me as the sort to be dictated too. I am also happy with the way united go about there business. No hype or speculation just announce when deal is done. That said I’m only happy with this approach as long as there are announcements to be made.

I agree with the signing rather speculation mantra,as soon as we are linked with a player Hibs,Hearts or Aberdeen are in for him like a shot.

A few other clubs in for him as well 🤞 he picks us

If it’s to be believed, both he and his family loved their time here last season and viewed United as the perfect club for him to develop
