Watched Ubochioma's, Youtube videos.
Looks a good attacking winger and i like having a left footed player in the team to give us a bit of balance. Looks like he likes to cut inside and shoot (a bit like Trapanovski). Looks like he also plays Left wing at times.
My only concern is (a bit like Trapanovski) that his style of play is sussed out. Can either also adapt and be 'byline wingers' when they need to be? He also seems very one footed. Something quite common in left footers i've noticed over the years.
But i do like the look of him. I can see what Goodwin is trying to do at the very least and it is good to see the balance of the team getting serious consideration in this recruitment window. Something i think we have lacked.
Two more needed. Centre Half and Striker. Both need to have pace.
A loanee Right Back too if the budget extends to it. The departures of MacLeod and Watt may help in that regard.

Near enough all left footers are completely hopeless with their right. It’s strange how it doesn’t work the other way as much, but that’s a known thing in football that lefties right foot’s are just for standing on.
I would agree with the other positions. I’d personally like two centre halves and just push Sevelj permanently into midfield and see what he can do there.
Got to give Goodwin and Cairney credit for clearly having targets identified that fit the way they want to play rather than just big names, and also for getting the bulk of them in before the league starts.
It is exciting having all these unknown foreign quantities in, but it does concern me a wee bit too. We’ve not signed a single Scottish player up to now. I know we still have plenty from last season, but our first choice XI is gonna be as Un-Scottish as I can ever remember.
In terms of a pacy striker, what about bringing Johnny Russell back? Only a few months away from his MLS contract ending. Would he give up a couple months salary to come back home and have one final swansong at Tannadice. Canna think of many signings other than Gauld that would get as much universal love and acclaim as JR.

I would love to see Russell back.

Can attest. Beaut of a left foot, but my right-foot is like a dangling appendage when it comes to kicking and tackling.

Still would like a good commanding centre back in, get Ross back to the left.

On the topic of adding a central defender, just read that big Sam McCleland ruptured his achilles in the st johnstone game tonight.
Nightmare for him, first game of the season and looking at a long recovery time.

That's a shame. Really liked the kid. Done us a turn.

He definitely came in last year and helped us over the line.
However I thought it would be difficult to find a CH who was slower than Gallagher & Holt but Mclleland was that CH.

That's not going to help his pace and pretty much rules him out for the rest of the season. Nightmare for the lad. Didn't think we'd go back in for him. Not sure he's an upgrade on a fit Gallagher so given that's what we need he wasn't the solution.

partick given permission to talk to Grimshaw about going on loan (Daily Record)

Guessing that means that Sevelj's injury from the derby is nothing to worry about

Dundee united are delighted to announce the signing of Emmanuel Adegboyega on a season-long loan from EFL Championship outfit Norwich City.
Centre back.

Sounds like exactly what we need

Good stuff. Him and Graham either side of Gallagher feels ok, assuming he backs up his pedigree. Holt on the bench and Sevelj able to step into the back 3 as and when needed.
Sevelj will likely be our RWB until Strain returns with Miller able to fill in there as well. Not a perfect scenario but if Sevelj can replicate Sunday's performance he'll do ok.
Squad really close to being complete now you would assume. I still feel like a striker and another centre mid could be on the cards though once Grimshaw and maybe Watt are moved on. Centre mid purely down to Docherty's injury record and the unknown element of Odada. Plus I think Babunski needs to be further forward. Not sure how we fit everyone in, but it's a good problem to have.
I wonder if we'll look to pick up someone that can cover both wing back positions? A bit like Niskanen was able to do? Ferry has no real cover (it can't be Middleton) and obviously we are already doing the square peg round hole dance with RWB for a few months. A versatile wing back could be a good shout.

He can play CH and RB. So, he could also (possibly) be cover for Strain.
