I for one am shocked that after Laszlo saying - “We are not bringing trialists" (direct quote from 5th of July), that we are now bringing in trialists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he was probably referring to the "open trials" everyone was getting excited about. You don't need to criticise everything stumi. You don't want to be in the next United media tweet. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not necessarily a criticism, I just find Laszlo to be as contradictory in his interviews as Donald Trump. Another example is that one minute the Betfred is "pre-season" the next it is "really important". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Whilst it's too early to write this guy off you would be right more times than wrong so f**k it I bet he is terrible. Same goes for our next 5 signings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't that depend on how good the signings turn out to be? Your earlier post made reference to signing players from the English lower leagues and then selling them on as our avowed strategy but as far as I can tell you've just made that up. I don't recall anyone at United saying that. The only criterion which I'm aware of is that the players need to better than we've signed in recent years. Whether they are or not remains to be seen. Edit: Also, why the inverted commas? Is the scouting set-up not new? Edited July 25, 2018 by Pull My Strings 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the scouting set-up not new?We brought sturrock back to the club because of his knowledge of the English lower leagues, if we are not signing from there then why have we invested in this new ”scouting network”? The inverted commas is because there is none - certainly none in the 12 we have signed.The point being we have invested in a scouting network with no clear strategy or signing policy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Dundee United quite clearly brought Strurrock back to try and shore up support for an unpopular chairman and failing management team rather than to provide a bunch of hotshots from the English leagues. Which is why you're still signing absolute ringers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why you're still signing absolute ringers. The first part is true. Sturrock is also scouting the lower leagues for good players. It dosent say anywhere that Csaba has to sign them. Remember Emil Lyng? He was Csabas type of "player". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The last tweet was a "match preview" with James Keatings. Would they/he do that if he was leaving? What do people think of Keatings? Seen a lot of fans of other clubs saying they'd be happy if they signed him. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite him clearly being a competent enough striker at his previous clubs I have been totally underwhelmed in any game he has played for us (that is only 4 or 5 I suppose). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
