Full backs and wingers linking pretty well on both sides.

1-0 United. Sporle, great assist from Shankland

That’s putting it politely.

Yeah I’d be happy to sign him. What you getting all wound up about? What a state to get in about a Dundee Utd fan saying they’d be happy if his club signed a player they’re linked with!

Heard we’re still interested in May. Can only assume that either Sow is on his way out or we’re committed to playing two up front this season. Id be happy to sign him to be honest, would be good with Shankland I think.

Worried about our midfield, Harkes was brutal tonight. Early days for King obviously but... Right now I’d be playing Butcher and Stanton in there. Thought Appere looked good in spells but faded badly, Chalmers bit hot and cold too but couple great bits of skill. Shankland makes good runs but we rarely found him. He did well for Butcher’s goal and worked hard throughout, good that he got 90 minutes and he will get sharper.

Apparently so. After watching how uncomfortable both Connolly and Reynolds were in possession tonight, I really hope we are bringing in a centre half who can bring a ball down and play a pass

Anyway, team for Tuesday? I’d keep same back 5, any 2 from Butcher, Harkes and King as the 2 in midfield. McMullen and either Appere/Banks on wings with Cammy smith behind Shankland

We’re definitely in for him and though I’d be happy to have him, I do find it a bit strange given the squad we already have

What’s the best pub for Utd fans tomorrow before the game? Roseburn Bar?

That is a smart strip. Buy one for my daughter every year but think I might treat myself to this one too!

Neilson doesn’t rate Booth so likely that he’ll be moved on if a club want him. Expect Glass and M Smith to go out on loan.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48922852 Shankland just couldn’t turn a club of United’s size down. Simple as that.

I’m happy to go with Shankland, Clark and Sow, plus Appere or Chalmers. If we are bringing in May then I would lose Sow before Clark.

Ross Graham should definitely go on loan. We have plenty cover at centre back and a full season at a league 1 or league 2 club would be great for his development.

Sure I read Mochrie is staying on at school after the summer to do Highers, so probably just be staying with united rather than going on loan - unless to one of the local clubs. I think we need to keep one of Chalmers or Appere as 4th choice striker. Think Matty Smith probably needs to leave permanently for the good of his career. if as expected we sign another winger/attacking midfielder then Banks and Glass will probably be loaned out too

I’m happy with our options up front clark, shankland and sow backed up by Appere and Chalmers should be fine for the season ahead. Possibly put one of the youngsters out on loan until January. Hoping we’ll be playing 2 strikers up top in at least some games this season. Think Shankland with Clark/Sow would bring plenty goals.

Friday night is actually my preferred time for a United game. Quite like getting out the way and having a stress free weekend!!

Haters gonna hate but we’ve got Shankland! everybody loves Lawrence Shankland

Shite then. Still be stunned if he signs for Utd but gone from “no chance” to “slightest of chances” in last hour.

Rumours where?

Be the signing of the summer in the Championship. Still can’t see it, but be delighted.

Been a few videos of training posted on United’s Twitter but find it strange they've not bothered doing any sort of interview with Neilson.

He’s back training with utd right enough. If he’s fit, he’ll do for back up.

Imagine we’ll see how he does in pre season but if he does go on loan I think Clyde would be a good option given he knows the club and the manager and, as I said, would now be playing 1 league up.
