Pull My Strings Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Its a done deal. I don't trust you, Waffelz. Last time you announced a done deal it transpired that you were just passing on second-hand horseshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weesiecodal Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 second-hand horseshit. I'm sure I saw some of that outside the snug on Saturday. It certainly didn't mention Billy McKay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'm sure I saw some of that outside the snug on Saturday. It certainly didn't mention Billy McKay I'm guessing that at least, was first-hand horseshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Peterborough have confirmed they're planning to make an offer for McKay this January, so...... Do Peterborough have a 'B team' in another continent though? That's the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Peterborough have confirmed they're planning to make an offer for McKay this January, so...... So ...? Oh I see what you're getting at. Peterborough buy McKay at a knockdown price. United buy Peterborough and McKay comes to United on loan. It's contrived but it's possible. The question is: do we really need Peterborough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wouldn't be allowed to buy them, but we could acquire 9% of their shares lend them £2million and stick a couple of directors on their board. That should be enough to influence things.

peeeel Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Why do United fans suddenly think they'll be paying transfer fees for players? No idea. We'll loan a striker until the end of the season, that will be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 No idea. We'll loan a striker until the end of the season, that will be it. I think that's a real possibility. I also think that if it happens we will be lucky to finish in the top four. It has already been shown that Dow is not suited to the striker role; christ knows when Bilate will be fit; and we are just an injury/suspension away from Ciftci not being available. Unless we really luck out with a decent loan striker then we will struggle like hell. Injury and suspension aside, we will only get the most out of Ciftci if he has serious competition IMO. ST has done brilliantly getting the club back on a good financial footing and I don't expect him to start throwing huge amounts of cash around, but given the Gauld and Robertson deals I would have thought there would be money to make an acquisition for the one position we are crying out for.

ArabFC Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 It seems to me, and I guess to ST as well, that splashing cash on players is pretty stupid. We've just spent £200k on Telfer, so he'll have learnt his lessons on going to tribunals now. Aberdeen have Rooney and Goodwillie, both signed on freedom of contract. Boyd signed for Killie and Rangers in the same way, as did McFadden for St Johnstone, Clarkson for Dundee and Sow for Hearts, amongst others. We got Ciftci for nothing, as well as Bilate and Lyle Taylor who played on loan at Partick last year signed for Scunthorpe for nowt. Paying transfer fees in this day and age at a club of our size is a mugs game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 If we could sign a striker for free in the Christmas transfer window who is good enough to challenge Ciftci for the starting position that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Point was more that its not likely to be a "done deal" while other clubs are still talking to Inverness about said player Also unlikely to be a done deal because the original rumour is almost certainly nonsense and given no credence by anyone, so ...
