stewartyftd1 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Not many rumours going around either. Thought we would have at least seen the new strip today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannadeechee Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Can't believe the negativity from our fans. The constant "wheres a signing" comments are wearing thin. When did it become the norm that clubs must sign AND announce a bunch of players buy the 1st week in June or their peeing about? Bring back the days of 1988 when the ONLY pre season signings were Raphael Meade and Mio Krivocapic! United will bring in 5 players (might be 4) we HAVE signed 3(Reynolds, Sporle and Smith). This approach is to be welcomed, working quietly in the background to get the RIGHT players. No announcements until player signs. Also the complaints of "FFS United we haven't got a strip and first game is days away". We do, just because WE haven't seen it doesn't mean United haven't got it. It will be announced in due course. I believe it was delayed due to the deal being delayed in being signed due to the new regime. In other words, calm down, save.the coronary for the first time this season's boo boy misses a pass by 5mm.

PartyFears2 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 for everyone freaking out about the new strip, we have a game in 5 days.You can see it then. Can you wait 5 days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Aye Facebook and Twitter have been ridiculous for the moaning about lack of signings. This close season seems to have been particularly bad for it. I'm as eager as any to see the new strip and if we get any new faces in. But tbh I'm more hopeful some young talent from the youth set up gets a chance this year too. Good to see Wardrop has started preseason as well, obviously Smith is first choice but he might get some games and prove to be able back up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Also to the add the striker signing this week is Shankland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap in 94 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 That fact that Asghar said at the Q&A night that 4 boys were set to sign regardless of which league we'll be in hasn't helped 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant help but shake off the feeling that he will end up down south. Given his scoring record I would obviously lover for him to sign up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am perfectly calm. No point building excitment for the sake of excitement. A new season brings its own excitement,the unknown of how its going to go. We have preseason games coming up, then th BetFred. It maybe because I'm older, and couldn't give two shits about the strip other than I hope it's not crap, maybe it's because I can't stand this cynical, all about the money, new strip every single year. Maybe its because I had the chance to grow up in an era that fans had more to judge teams by than how many players they signed irrespective of quality. We started preseason today, our 1st competitive game is 18 days away, our first league game is 40 days away. The last 1 or 2 signings will come, we maybe having to wait on our 1st choices, better that than rush into a 2nd or 3rd choice as they could sign now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you mean me by that. If not sorry misread you. There have been posts here every other day about where are our signings. There have been Twitter posts on United's tweets "we haven't even got strips yet". Post on other forums,FB, Twitter etc. Complaining that we haven't signed at least a handful of players yet, but "team X,Y or Z have signed blah, blah, blah". Patience, they are coming, we are.doing it right, trying to get the right attitude, not just ability. Our support is full of these "belters" though. We'll see what the following weeks bring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean you. I meant fans on Twitter and Facebook are, in general, prone to ridiculous amounts of hyperbole. But I also don't believe that those people are a good gauge of the overall mood of our support so I don't agree with your original post stating "Can't believe the negativity of our fans." Mostly people I know are pretty content with how we're progressing this summer. Re. signings, if you see my post a page or 2 back, I agree with you. I also agree with you about the strip. Provided it's not a total minter I couldn't give a shiny shite what it looks like 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
