stumigoo Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Dundee United today announced, subject to international clearance, the signing of 26-year-old Austrian striker Darko Bodul on a two-year deal. Previously at Austrian Bundesliga outfit SC Rheindorf Altach, he joins United after catching the interest of Jackie McNamara whilst United were in the Netherlands for a training camp. Capped at both Under-19 and Under-21 level for Croatia, Darko has an Austrian passport, and was regarded as one of the biggest attacking talents when he secured a two-year deal with Ajax in 2009. His career since leaving Ajax has witnessed top level football in Denmark with Odense Boldklub and in Austria with Sturm Graz as well as with Rheindorf which finished third last season. A delighted Jackie McNamara said, “Darko is an experienced quality striker. We have been chasing several strikers this summer but once it became apparent we could secure his signing, this was one we wanted completed quickly. “He is a technically gifted, skilful and a penalty box goal scorer. I am excited about seeing him wear the United kit and he will entertain and excite our fans.” Darko said, “This is a new, exciting chapter for me. The reputation United has for developing careers is an obvious appeal but first I want to come in and claim my place in the team. I can do that by scoring goals. “I met with the Manager over in the Netherlands and saw how United was set up with the vision for the future. If I score the goals which make the fans happy, we will enjoy good times together. I cannot wait to meet up with my team mates and play for the Club.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Is he bringing a big f**k off rabbit with him too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Darkest Timeline Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I assume this means McNamara's going for 2 up top this season, since we've got about 10 strikers now. "Darko" Bit racist, even for Utd, no? He'll be at Celtic in double quick time then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Well, that's a bit unexpected! McNamara likes doing that though, a number of signings have been pretty random and out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabianKnight Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 He's hardly "prolific" but hopefully his game means he can make as well as score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 We've signed the next Nadir! Darko Bodul! He looks a lot like someone famous but with a beard and different hair. Annoying the life out of me. ...more evidence of the Thompsons' VG eugenics program coming to fruition imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 We've signed the next Nadir! Darko Bodul! My word, Jackie does love to pull these signings from his ass. Another prime evidence why listening to these 'rumours' is stupid - find me a person anywhere that had a source for this happening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 We play one up front and have Bodul, Bilate, Muirhead, Anier, Murray and Moore - at least two of them must be heading out the door or on loan. I'm glad we're not wasting money on McKay - stick it in the Allan pile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad we're not wasting money on McKay - stick it in the Allan pile Anier and Moore for me. Moore will not make it and Anier has been a waste. Bodul, Bilate and Muirhead as the three first choice strikers, Murray with the odd appearance here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Anier and Moore for me. Moore will not make it and Anier has been a waste. Bodul, Bilate and Muirhead as the three first choice strikers, Murray with the odd appearance here and there. Well agreed on what should happen. Bizarre that Moore got the number 9 jersey. I expect we might see Muirhead playing out wide occasionally too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladdin Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Take it this means this McKay deal isn't happening? Im worried the Imrie deal isnt getting the priority it deserves. Think if we shifted some out McKay could still be a goer, as we may look to play 2 up top this season, but unlikely. Anier is got to be top of the list. Weird giving Moore the no 9 jersey but suppose we dont know how he might have developed if he hadnt been ill. Could still become a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
