Dunfermline Arab

Heard he hugged the ref last night before kick off

Has Big Mad Nads faked a hammy injury so that St Johnstone cancel his contract and he can return "home"?

And would stop referring to McNulty as a "Scotland Striker'

21:10pm Courts with maybe 25 mins to save his job.

Not convinced he's a right back/right winger either.

And United looking for a loanee left back. Let me guess. Luke Bolton.

Fucking hell. We're really all over the shop aren't we? Strategic and patient....aka second best to everyone else.

Aberdeen going to announce Mikey Johnston shortly?

I personally think, now more than ever, United have to show their ambition by spending. Ogren has to be sitting looking at Hearts signing some real coups (Baningame, the two Aussies), Aberdeen signing the young American, Hibs signing the other American and the young lad from Bodo/Glimt, and must seriously be worried about the task in hand. Slate Big Tony all you want, but I genuinely think the structure of the club is excellent. United SEEM to have a strategic scouting system, but other than the young Ghanaian, we've not signed anyone else that Aberdeen, Hibs or Hearts would have. All United fans think of us being part of the bigger 4 out with the Old Firm, but we're seriously lagging behind. I do believe we'll sign Kevin McDonald and I think he'll be a class act for us, so hoping the midfield up their level of service for strikers, but we NEED a winger (or two) and there doesn't seem to be any talk of one coming in. If Biamou, Fuchs and Benji leave, you'd think we will definitely bring in one or two.

Haha. Excellent.

How fucking ridiculous some of the comments on here are... If you look at the last 6 games, they include two versus the Old Firm, one of those games being away at Ibrox with a team of kids and being unlucky to lose 1-0. They also include an away defeat at Motherwell where I personally thought the weather was fucking atrocious and cannae blame anyone much for not being on form. Yes we've been poor in a few of the last 6, but I'm not going to call for Courts head. How is it possible for folk on here to call Harkes, Pawlett and McNulty a shower of shite, yet still blame Courts for shite results? Surely it's not his fault if he has shite at his disposal?

Granted, they may have been kind given the circumstances.

Waiting until the end of the window to cast judgement. Kevin McDonald would step in and be a leader in the middle of the park, which is more than can be said for Calum 'yellow card in waiting' Butcher. I expect Shanks might happen and I fancy another winger may be looked at, but to be honest, it's time to give lads like Meekison some game time. Played for the shirt when he's had his chance.

No such thing in the SPL. Nobody good is going to be a backup.

If Rangers stump up half a mil for Soapy, the £75k is covered

Scott Banks is very highly thought of. Expect him to be in match squads next season.

If United produce a sponsorless kit, they'd make a fucking fortune

If we ARE the only club Shanks is able to play for, I'd expect it to be a formality. Theres no smoke without fire and Beerschot must wantschot of him. I still think United will offer Nicky Clarke for Watt. They have a target man in Van Veen and Clarke could no doubt knock in a few goals for Well. Shanks can't come in without someone else going (striker wise) so it's either Biamou (queue the 'some things just don't work out in football' comment from Tam), McNulty (same comment) or Clarke. I think Clarke is someone who has been played because he's been the only option, not because United see him as a starter.

Exactly. Best keeper we've had in many, many a year. A monumental loss. Hoping this Finnish keeper is able to fill his gloves.

You can play for 3 clubs in a single season. Hearts will wrap it up in the next few days.

Nads signs for the Perth Saints...

Oh ye of little faith
