January 2022 transfer window

[BonnieDon]

I'd like to see both Campbell and McLennan get some game time by going out on loan. Did Scott Wright wonders going out on loan to Dundee a few years ago.

McGinn is my favourite player (arguably our best player) over the last 20 years. I can't see him leaving in January. He'll likely become part of the backroom staff at the end of the season.

Kennedy and Devlin will likely be given time to be assessed during January. Gallagher won't be loaned out. Wouldn't be surprised to see Samuels join Longstaff on the way out. Fully anticipate Hedges to be sold.

I'd like to see us sign an attacking mid, a striker and a winger.

That's 3 pretty key positions that do need addressed, so I'd be surprised if we are able to fill at the quality we would like in January. Could end up with 1 quality and the other 2 being a Kamberi and a Hornby though.

With only 6 appearances this season (the last one in September) I wonder if we will be back in for Clark Robertson this window?

 

The joys & pretty much about the quality of player we will be realistically after

Declan Gallagher to Dundee?  On loan?

What a load of nonsense. Gallagher is going to be fighting for a spot on central defence. It won’t be with a baseball bat so our other central defenders include Dean Campbell shouldn’t get too concerned.

That Hamilton lad linked again this window?

The boy Hamilton from Hamilton , I think he is a good prospect and would like to see him being signed 

however maybe our head of recruitment has better options for us 

a Michael hector would be good

Hope not…his team aren’t cutting the mustard in the division they play. We need better than that.

I think we would be interested if he was available for free but Hamilton would be due quite a considerable amount of compensation so not convinced we will be moving for him unless Hamilton substantially reduce what they are looking for.

He's out of contract in the summer. On Hamilton wages. He wouldn't break the bank

BUT

As I've said before....he's very undersized for a modern day central defender. He also had a problem back in November where he had to be substituted in a match suffering chest pains. He missed a few matches thereafter whilst he underwent tests to establish the cause. He's now back in their side so presumably he's had the all clear although I can't see anywhere that Accies or the player himself say what was actually found.

I also think it's significant that no one has taken a chance on him (love Abba) to date. I think Hamilton were looking at a fee that would have ruled out every Scottish club outwith the arse cheeks when he was doing well this time last year...but it would have been peanuts to an English Championship club and even a few EFL1 sides.

[Redtaz2]

No one took a chance on Ferguson and he turned out ok 

but I didn’t realise he had the potential health issue was in sunny tenerife in November 

So much for my recommendation ?

Seen Hamilton play with Scotland 19s with Dean Campbell. He’s at least 6’2” and can play left or right side.

I recall his first time playing us at home he was left side CB, think he was 17 at the time. decent player, good pace, quick feet and comfortable on the ball. Huge potential to develop and sell on for a profit down the line

He's 5'11. Heres a pic of him standing next to Aaron Martin. listed at 6'3

He’s listed as 188cm on transfermarkt which is 6’2. Seen a photo of him against Nouble of Arbroath who’s 6’4” and not much difference in height.

Realistically don’t think he’ll be in our plans anyway as accies will want to much money for him

Never 4 inches difference in height there. Even if you include the boy in the left's big hair. 
 

plus, he's leaning to his left

[RED_JOHN]

He’s an inch short of a certified midget….we need big lumps at the back who can win headers.

Maybe he’s further away.

social distancing & all that 

[fine-n-dandy]

Wouldn’t take Watt of Griffiths was available. 
If only we could get rid of wasted wage shite like JET & bring in someone that actually does enough to justify a regular wage. Fat cunt of not but Having Griffiths to help out Ramirez would be pretty decent 

[Poodler]

That JET was a disgrace of a signing tbh, played well against us so we should sign him. That’s tinpot. 

one look at his wiki and you know what he’s all about. Should never be at a club this ‘big’

[AyrshireSheep]

Samuels must be utter fucking pish in training if McLennan and McGinn get on ahead of him. Big month ahead. Hopefully see the back of Longstaff, Samuels and McLennan aswell. But there could be an argument to also get rid of a few regular starters. Let's hope the chairman has deep pockets because by fuck he needs them next month. 

[BonnieDon]

Dundee Utd fans over on P&B seem fairly confident that they'll be signing McGrath, Watts and Mickey Johnson in January. They claim to have money.

Jamie McGrath????

They appear confident they are going to have a big January transfer window and that they have money to spend. For a club that was begging for the season to be cut short last campaign due to financial losses, I can't believe they have the capital to fund both Watts and McGrath especially with Aberdeen and Hibs supposedly highly interested.

[Guest milne_afc]

What the fuck would you know about the finances of Dundee United? STFU

[CalgaryDon]

Gurr, Longstaff, Samuels, Hayes, Woods, Devlin, Gallagher, Devlin, McLennan, Kennedy and Ojo can all leave.
