The Australian boy who played for Hearts seemingly about to sign for UTD?

Mass Debates · 23/1/2015 2:44 pm

Just been informed that this is 100% correct DTRA he is having his medical and will be announced soon!!

seggyboy73 · 23/1/2015 3:15 pm

Hes a rightback too

Andy · 23/1/2015 3:18 pm

Fuck, that will be a great signing IMO, straight into the team tomorrow please

Boy played for Oz in the World Cup recently, very good cross and corner from what I can remember.

And quite frankly except for Charlie Telfer we're shite at taking corners.

currently having a medical just now.

Mass Debates · 23/1/2015 4:14 pm

signed!!! on offical site now 1 and a half year deal.
Great news just what we were crying out for hopefully makes the difference back there.
International clearance needed so might not make tomorrow depending on how long it takes however!

Only one word for this: absofuckinglutelyoutstanding. He is quality.

Hamiltonarab · 23/1/2015 4:45 pm

Really pleased with this signing. Kept it nice and quiet too. Hopefully gives us a bit of stability on that right side.

Andy · 23/1/2015 4:56 pm

Delighted, surprised but delighted.

This makes a mockery of the "we're Dundee United not Man United" shite you hear when were told what we've got currently is the best we can aspire to.

I think he's a great signing, if we could get the same calibre on the left and again in goal we would be some team IMO.

seggyboy73 · 23/1/2015 5:12 pm

Wunderbar united

bowers · 23/1/2015 5:38 pm

Happy with that.

Doubt that we will see watsons contract renewed

Tek · 23/1/2015 5:57 pm

Don't remember him too well at Hearts.

But i do remember him playing at the World Cup and i thought he looked a very decent player.

Looked a big,strong,athletic type..typical Aussie really.

A welcome addition to a defence that needs to improve.

huntedbyafreak · 23/1/2015 6:04 pm

Apparently beat Aberdeen to his signing.

Boy was a stand out in a pretty rank Hertz team even though they won thon cup 5-1. A winner and an internationalist. Good business

Tek · 23/1/2015 6:13 pm

One thing...

Australia are hosting a big International tournament currently AFC Asian Cup feat;Oz,South Korea,Japan,China etc.Runs till Jan 31st.

Why is he not at that i wonder?Injured?Fucking hope not.

Billy_Hainey · 23/1/2015 6:33 pm

Pleased with this. Hopefully, like Anier, coming onto his prime and will complement some of the youth coming through.

Good stuff United.

stobievulture · 23/1/2015 8:42 pm

happy as fuck with this...spells the end for watson imo..

The Shed · 23/1/2015 8:44 pm

As longs he doesn't end up with squad no 51.

Should be a good signing tho, still expect more squad movement before the end of the month.

FiveOne · 23/1/2015 8:49 pm

seggyboy73 · 23/1/2015 8:52 pm
