Pull My Strings

It's not been a disaster. He played most of last season, at full back and was mostly decent. His occasional appearances in midfield were largely shite.

Are you sure you're talking about the right guy? Grimshaw's a pretty good Championship level, no nonsense, full back. He's absolutely shite in midfield.

You’re quite right, that wasn’t great but then that goal was a bit of a disaster all round. Looped in at about four miles an hour under no pressure and eventually palmed into the net by the keeper. Both the goals in that game were dreadful. A bad day at the office all round.

Bit harsh. He's had one and a half games in his preferred position and was no worse than anyone else in that Falkirk game and never troubled in the Stenhousemuir game. He's far from ideal at RWB but that's surely on Goodwin. Strictly an emergency cover job and still just looked like a defender being asked to play an attacking position. It's not like he's falling over his feet and passing the ball out of play. He's just a centre half playing on the right wing. I'm not particularly convinced myself yet but it's early days and I wouldn't say he's been bad, just a little underwhelming. Certainly compared to the other outfield signings, who have all been very good (season ending injuries aside).

Matter of opinion as to whether they are players but all, some or none of these names (and other names) relate to individuals who may, or may not, be signing for United and/or training with United.

Right you are Dave.

Dave Odada apparently. No word yet on whether he's wearing a headband or Adidas boots.

Which one, Dave Onovo or Dave Megwa?

"Tony would not have given energy or work rate" That's certainly accurate.

Vincent Onovo? Is the "Dave" bit an Only Fools and Horses reference?

I dinnae ken who Dave is, tbf, but the guy in the photo looks like Megwa with a headband on. Unfortuntately, the canny snapper appears to have covered the camera lens with vaseline so, if you squint, it also looks a bit like David Caruso with a headband on.

Headband on, surely.

Presumably someone will take him on loan, even if it means United paying most of his wages. That petted lip is just a distraction for everyone else at the club and you'd get more of a contribution from Stirton or one of the other young laddies than from a huffy Watt.
