A CB has always been high up on the list of targets 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 2 hours ago, Butters Scotch said: I assumed the signing of Odada put an end to going after Campbell considering what his wage demands will be also. Then we have Docherty working his way back aswell which will hopefully be like a new signing and O'Donnell might be expected to fill in when required if he doesn't go out on loan. Have you heard any info on other potential incomings? My main thoughts are: Centre forward we have two physical strikers in VDS and Moult but don't have a wee nippy pacey type striker so ideally could do with one if we need to switch up Plan A. Trap, Fotheringham, Forbes, Thomson, Shak, Middleton seem to be the ones that we will be using as our wide forwards so business is sorted here. Main priority has got to be the defence, in particular a mobile centre half and a RWB considering Strain's historic injury woes. He seems to be made of glass so even when he does return you can see him getting another injury. Not a chance we're signing someone to play 3rd fiddle to VdS and Moult. You want someone pacey through the middle, it's gonna be one of the wide men filling in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agreed I don't see any more forwards coming in now and can see Fotheringham possibly playing there if we are desperate/Moult and VDS both out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeeunited83 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I’d be shocked if there wasn’t another striker brought in if watt leaves 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGMilne Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Trapanovski can play up front if required AFAIK. Sevelj I don't think is now necessarily seen as a viable centre back option considering how easily he was beaten in the air. He'll be a utility man for us. So RCB is priority 1 and probably a wing back who can play either side if needed would be next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he was at fault against Falkirk but Sevelj hasn't really been given time to develop as the RCB as he's either having to fill the CDM or RWB role so far. Once Strain is back and Odada/Docherty start getting gametime then I can see Sevelj moving to the RCB. I think Goodwin will be seeing him as the one who can play quality passes forward from the back and a key part of the system IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The source is a guy called Scott Burns, who's a beat reporter for Luton Town (so their Alan Temple, maybe?) who was quick a d correct with the Walton loan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascal Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 https://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/news/8522/EMMANUEL-ADEGBOYEGA-ARRIVES-ON-LOAN-FROM-NORWICH-CITY.html "Emmanuel has the perfect set of raw physical attributes to be a commanding centre-half in the Scottish Premiership - he rarely loses a battle with his opponent and is incredibly mobile for his height" "At Walsall, I played on the right side of the back three" So on paper that's pretty much ideal? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGMilne Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Burns I think is less connected than he once was (hint: nobody at the club feeding him exclusives anymore) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
