It's not been a 'little delay' though. He's had a new deal on the table for months. And after not getting a better deal elsewhere he's came back to Utd, but only shown the commitment of signing for 1 year.

Yes, he's entitled to see what is on offer elsewhere, but you can't blame the supporters for feeling underwhelmed about the whole re-signing of Harkes.

Anaku is coming on Monday, i believe.

Shedtastic · 30/6/2022 4:47 pm

The 1 year deal is so that his contract expires the same time as his wifes, whi knows they may have plans to go back home.
But that is the reason for the 1 year extension

Harkes has signed a 1 year extension. Official.

I'd rather have used his wage to bring in someone that wants to be here. Perhaps AU can enlighten us as to the point of this deal?

I would imagine it suits all parties. If he does well and gels with the manager, they might explore an extension.

If he wants to be here he'd at least sign a 2 year deal, he will be looking for a new club in January and playing to try and find one prior to the January window. I just don't see any value for United in this deal.

I have absolutely no problem with Ian Harkes as a player, just can't see why the club had to work so hard for a deal that's neither use nor ornament.

Not being funny mate but how do you know how hard they worked?

Classic case of our fans finding literally anything to moan about.

It's taken an age to sort out and it doesn't smack of the player really being committed. I think you will find that I'm one of the more positive ones so that's a little unfair, and I'll challenge anyone to find a post where I've had anything negative to say about Ian Harkes as a player.

He has been on holiday in America. You don't know how committed or uncommitted he is

A 1 year deal suggests not very

Shakey Isles Arab · 30/6/2022 9:19 pm

Harkes.
A wee bit underwhelming.
Solid 6 and half per match squad man.
Good professional.
Hopefully JR can get him up to 7

Now Levitt, Shanks ... dreams are made !

Tangy · 30/6/2022 9:44 pm

Anybody at the meet n greet? Anything said?

Tek · 30/6/2022 10:13 pm

Tonight's nightly rumour.

Steven Fletcher in talks too sign. Free agent from Stoke as of tomorrow.

At least he would make sick note fight for a place on the treatment table.

He actually played 39 times for Stoke last season.

Only 3 goals.

ArabChris · 30/6/2022 11:02 pm

A 3 year deal is on offer to Zander Clark from United.

Appears the club are looking for a quick response to that from him.

Would be a very very good signing, his link up play has always been very decent and good in the air, would probably score a good but still if giving service

Billy_Hainey · 01/7/2022 9:39 am

I'm fairly chuft aboot Harkes. As fowk have sayed, he's a no bad player, and on his day he can make the difference. The winners against the BNBs and the SSBs spring to mind.

Tangy · 01/7/2022 2:21 pm

I thought today was the day to unveil a new player or 2 in the new kit.. Still time 🤞🤞

I'm so impatient

Dundalk want Mark Connolly again for this season. Had forgotten he still played for us.

Yeah Mark is one of the good guys. My hunch is he will go back to Ireland on loan, but let's be honest if he did come back it would be almost like a new signing. He was brilliant for us, until personal circumstances unfortunately affected him.

I for one would be happy to see him back and fighting for his place.

Fuck off

Terms agreed with Fletcher.
He’s ’due back on Monday’ (to Tannadice / from holiday, I don’t know)

Unless he gets a great offer before then, he’s coming to United.

I'm not a fan of old guys seeing out their final days at the club.

However it worked last season with Mulgrew so here's hoping we get lucky again.
