This, I feel, is the real deal.
I'm starting to believe we mean business.

Killie fan I know rates him very highly...no stranger to the treatment table though...

Butcher says it was an easy decision to come back to United, says he has good memories of his time here etc. Joe Rice’s next question; “Was it an easy decision to come back to Dundee United?” 😑

I can't say how much of a minter our media team(man?) is. Know Joe from school but he's clear out of his depth. That Peter Pawlett video was the stuff of minter nightmares.

He'll no be lonely then. Dr Nick will misdiagnose errrm I mean look after him. Welcome to the treatment table errrrr I mean Tannadice.

SuperMario · 31/1/2019 3:41 pm

winna be long till he’s captain I won’t think going by his interview, a real leader

31/1/2019 3:42 pm

I'm buzzin for Saturday.
Can't see Connolly (my favourite player even tho he's not kicked a ball yet) getting a start just yet ahead of Bou & Frans.
Be interesting to see how many of the 9 get a start, I think there's only one guaranteed & that's Sailor Boy.
Could be a very strong sub's bench.

He's played over a hundred games since he left killie so I reckon he's proved his fitness tbh

An actual exciting deadline day for once which has been enjoyable so far. Get the feeling we'll see a few more in but looking at it right now I'd guess that Robbie is looking to move to a diamond in midfield with the amount of central players we have now.

GK: Laidlaw, Benji
DEF: Seaman, Murdoch, Watson, Bouhenna, Frans, Connolly, Booth, Robson
MID: Butcher, Gomis, Fyvie, Stanton, Harkes
ATT: Nesbitt, Pawlett, C Smith, McMullan
STR: Safranko, Clark

Wouldnt say no to another Left Back if it meant Robson going on loan or released.
A striker looks almost certain to come in according to reports and maybe on more attacking midfielder?

Will we get 3 more????

Might get a point off Ayr with that team...

Na..
Alloa maybe though 😁 👿

Been out at a funeral as these signings (so far) were sealed: got to say I'm pleased with the quality, hope they can stay fit.

Very good interview on the zone. Feeling loads more confident now than I was last Friday.

Calum Butcher signs an 18 month deal.

Neilson saying he will play in midfield.

Happy with that.

I thrilled by this. He is the sort of uncompromising player, who stands up to be accounted for which we need. I recall his first game at Firhill, where, in fairness, he should have been sent off, but, apart from that great. More than that, he came back from injury and demanded that McNamara play him in midfield instead of defence.

Tek · 31/1/2019 6:01 pm

The jungle drums are saying Adam Barton and Deniz Mehmet will be released before the clock strikes twelve.

SuperMario · 31/1/2019 6:07 pm

Good

Shame on Deniz, hope he gets a decent move elsewhere and his knee holds up, he’d be a solid keeper for most teams.

Wouldn’t wish Barton on anyone.

LarsErikKjell · 31/1/2019 7:24 pm

Any updates on any deals? Sow? This Belgian/Hiati striker?

Finn Seemann · 31/1/2019 8:08 pm

BBC saying Reynolds from Aberdeen on loan as well as others being worked on.

SuperMario · 31/1/2019 8:11 pm

Mark reynolds would be fucking excellent

PatReilly · 31/1/2019 8:33 pm

Reynolds has been out injured for ages: I'd be very surprised if we signed him. Hardly played since 2017.

SuperMario · 31/1/2019 8:40 pm

Tam McManus tweets have been spot on, and going by his latest one, SOW IS COMINGGG

PatReilly · 31/1/2019 8:44 pm

I think Sow will sign, he's maybe doing a bit of brinkmanship with MK Dons for his pay-off, considering the drop in wages coming to Tannadice.

Pleased if we get him.

Particularly as we’d outnumber them if they only played 11! ;-)

Delighted with the business in this window. Just need the wins on the pitch now - starting on Saturday

JerryDungle · 31/1/2019 9:39 pm

Sow and Reynolds done.
