So..
Mikkelson
Stanton
And the 2 french boys

Will that be the 4?

Presenting Stanton and Quinn as new signing is a total cop out, and is a cheap tactic I've noticed United using for a while now. I'm happy Stanton's signed permanently, but he and Quinn have played all season for us, so them extending their deals doesn't really add anything new to the team that we haven't already had this year.

Making out to the fans that we've signed 6 new players this window is a sneaky, tacky move on the club's part.

JerryDungle, the fans generally aren't daft: only if they are will they think of Quinn and Stanton as new players.

I don't think the club deserves a slating for this, but they do for several other aspects of their operations.

It just strikes me as a very slimy move to make out that 2 players you've had for the past 6 months are new signings. I've never seen any other club do this.

When everything goes tits up again, and Mr. A is once again under the microscope, there are the gullible few who will go around parroting United's line about him backing the manager by signing 6 players in January. We haven't. We've signed 4; 3 loans, and a 6-month contract.

By all means, announce them extending their stay. In Stanton's case, I'm reasonably happy he's with us for the forseeable, but don't come out with spin like "Thomas becomes United's sixth signing of the January transfer window" it just comes across as Mr. A and his stooge Rice trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes again.

Seriously don’t understand all the hate for mikelsen, I thought he was really decent for us

When Mikelson played with us we ended up playing route one at a very poor standard, he dives and gets booked a lot and his goal return wasn't great, from memory.

Annanarab will be creaming himself at the thought of us going long to two giants all the time instead of all of the sideways go-nowhere passing at present.
 

 
I will be creaming myself (whatever that means) if we get the ball out wide and cross it our new man. And for the avoidance of doubt I much rather see hoof ball than the sideways and backwards stuff

I’m fucking not impressed with Laszlo in the slightest - shite window with shite signings.
Lyng is gash, Mason is gash mikkelsen will be poor. Resigned Quinn. Signed 2 young French boys that look about 10 and won’t play for the first team at all.
This after losing our 2 best central midfielders, having no right back and needing another striker all season - wtf are we doing

 
Hahaha wtf

Haha that's why I love united forums.

2 players who between them have played less than 3 games - stuck on as being awful and my favourite - a lad who hasn't played a minute of football for us since his return will be poor.

Jason Scotland was honking when he first came. As was jon daly (to quote 1 arab from many moons ago)-my mate thinks yer shite but ah think yer ok' - words which im sure warmed the cockles of daly and his parents .

Imo a couple of folk here just want to be pissed off with United and they won't let anything get in their way

Regarding the slating of players, are United fans any worse than supporters from other clubs?

I'm wondering if players are so precious these days that, reading stuff on forums and Twitter ( ) which fans write about them, they don't perform as expected. On another forum (East?) they are questioning why good players fail at United. Are our fans too hard and dismissive of many players?

Thinking our support will be no different from other groups of fans, it shouldn't have a negative effect: but does it?

We can haha all we want.
End of the day, I don’t think our painfully obvious issues have been addressed.
Our dominant cm and our creative force both got injured. Our rb issue still isn’t addressed but we have 2 CDM’s and one Ch to play there and our saviour is a striker we had before that spent half his time on his arse.
We’ll see at the end of the season and I’m sure if you want you can dig out this post and point out I was wrong.
Maybe it’s not a case of not giving United a chance and maybe they have let us down once too often.

Still think we need a real ball winner in midfield.  

I agree, could it be the return of the man who punched Zaluskas puss?

He's a ball winner and could surely do a job in this division.
 

I never rated him, got into heated discussions with offshore about him for about 2 years (all in good taste) and I fucking hate that DM "quaterback" role because makes for passengers if they're not actually offering protection for back 4.  

All that aside, I'd be happy to see him come back.  Exactly what we need really.

Confirmed we've signed the 2nd French player. Club not saying an awful lot with the exception that he's an "amateur striker" ?

Thought the young lad looked good. Strong, nice touch and a rocket of the crossbar

Dundee United today announced the signing of amateur striker Idris Kadded until the end of the season. 

At a (wild) guess, I'm thinking he's been signed on amateur forms to avoid us being liable for a transfer fee to the last club which registered him. He provided a bit of excitement today, late on, in a drab match.
