The evidence so far is that Jackie has lost a lot of games, signed a 3rd grade striker and a 5th grade defender. He hasn't yet signed any known quantity, but has let two leave. He hasn't signed any unexpected gambles. And, just as worrying, he hasn't released anyone. Of course the jury is out -- correctly -- but the preliminary evidence isn't yet pointing to an acquittal. |

Addendum - he's let three leave: Jon, Willo and Douglas. Three guaranteed starters. It's still early (close season) doors, so let's wait and see. |

Oh yeah, forgot about Douglas. Imagine if we signed those three? A talismanic target man from Rangers, a midfield buzzbomb from Aberdeen and an experienced left back from Poland. I'd take that. I'd feel quite optimistic about the season ahead if that happened, which is ridiculous really. |

Hibs and Motherwell also sniffing around McManus, who is apparently good pals with McFadden. Motherwell also apparently signing an Icelandic international keeper on top of already picking up Vigurs. Still need to sign a good striker (possibly two), good left back and good centre-back. Good as not coming with 'something to prove' or to 'fight for a place in the team'. Starters. Solids. Did we actually not follow up on keeping Boulding and that defender around? Edited by findus, Jun 29 2013, 09:20 AM.

Reasons to be optimistic: A fellow Utd fan, who knows his football told me that he has it on very good authority (from someone who coached him) that Andrew Robertson is a very good prospect. Feel free to drag this up in 3 years time when he's playing for Alloa.... |

Just noticed that this Erskine character scored 38 goals in 94 games for Partick Thistle playing as a midfielder. Quite impressive. |

That's not him by the way. He only tweets pictures of other people doing jobbies. |

I'd assumed. The logistics of tweeting yourself doing a jobbie would be challenging. Boyd story seems to have reached most papers. Not sure how that awful twunt would fit with ST's stuff about only signing "assets", nor Jackie's routine about wanting players with hunger, workrate and a go-get attitude. Boyd's a twunt, is what I'm saying. |

Given we seem to be playing 1 up, it's even less sensible, as Boyd up front alone isn't generally very productive. |

After reading this blog by Craig Easton about the sorts of antics Dave Bowman used to get up to this makes me even more convinced Roberton's going to be a United legend. Thanks Naebs.

Facebook says we've 4 trialists. Kudus Oyenuga, Calum Butcher, Nadir Ciftci and Graham Carey. Kudos seems an ex-Tottenham striker (recently with Hayes & Yeading) The butcher seems to be 6'5 exTottenham defender (recently with Hayes & Yeading). Nadir doesn't seem to have played for Tottenham, but is a dutch / turkish forward. Carey has been released by St Mirren, and is a midfielder and his crossing has been described as "unbelievable" At least that's what google tells me. |

Kudos and Nadir. Christ .... Are Hayes & Yeading a football team or an estate agents? |

Top work Setenza, something new to discuss at last! The Kudus bloke posted this selfie compilation on YouTube of him scoring goals. Which is nice. Edited by Morvant's Finest, Jul 1 2013, 12:26 PM.
