The great United reunion, signing backup keepers

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Ronny Deila’s dream of reconstructing the Dundee United team of 2014 is on track as United have agreed terms for the sale of striker Nadir Ciftci, who is set to join Stuart Armstrong and Gary MacKay-Steven in green and white hoops.

United are feeling sore at losing three players to a rival but it could be argued this deal is a positive result for them.  They are no different than Celtic in needing to acquire good players who will enhance their team and generate transfer fees when they leave.

Armstrong and Mackay-Steven gave Celtic a timely boost when they arrived in the team in February.  If Ciftci adapts as quickly he’ll do well.

Signing a backup goalkeeper is a tricky call.  Do you blow a large slice of budget on a genuine contender for the goalkeeper’s jersey, or perhaps promote the next teenage David Marshall?  Both are viable calls.  If we sign Logan Bailly (29) for a fee from Belgian club Leuven the expectation at Lennoxtown is that he will push Craig Gordon.

That would leave us with competition across the field, apart from the left back slot…..

    Kickinthenakas have you been to Lagos before? If not you’ll love the area I’d suggest headiing West to Sagres, where the brewery is then up the coast – Silver Coast? Best beaches in Portugal and hardly a soul there. As HT said Luz is also a great wee place, love the Portugese they are the Scots to the Spanish who are their English very friendly people, hope you enjoy. Hail Hail Hebcelt

    JFH …I was wondering what the situation was with NB …. I hadn’t heard of any injury, and am hoping he will be good to go …. with his passing, he is the key to us taking the next step up this season …

    IGC … you are right re: efe, but that is because efe is his nickname, but his real name is efetobore

     

     

    all together now …’there’s only one efetobore’…. just kinda rolls off your tongue, doesn’t it?

    Canny beat a cheap shot to nothing,mate. And being about nothing I knew you’d not be too p’d off by it.

     

     

    See us on 10/10 wi any luck,you can get fired in on a revenge mission then!

    An Tearmann worked there many years ago, went back as a birthday treat 3 years ago,fascinating place, should be on your bucket list. Got Mrs Hebcelt a trip for her birthday,she’s going with a pal in the next two or three weeks. Trips are very weather dependent, on a real good day it’s like the Pacific, not called the Island at the Edge of the World for nothing. Hope you make it,need any help let me know. Hail Hail Hebcelt

    i have another which i must admit i did use google to check but i honestly thought about him before googling.

     

     

     

    does the following count

     

     

    Osvaldo Giroldo junior otherwise known as Juninho paulista

    It’s guys like you and others too many to mention that make this place unmissable .

     

    Feel a bit of a fraud that I take so much and contribute so little .

    The latest 4-4-2 magazine in front of me at the moment has a wee Q&A wi Juninho.

     

     

    He is not at all complimentary about Martin O’Neil.

  27. bournesouprecipe on

    Very pleased we’re bringing in another goalscorer which was inevitable after

     

    clearing away previous projects, and Ciftci was the only target, despite the

     

    laughable SMSM bias. Quarter of a million pounds for a back up keeper is

     

    also another tidy investment from our unique club.

     

     

    The more delusional non supporters should try investing in Celtic instead of

     

    keyboard bumping, no amount of which, will make Celtic any stronger.

     

     

    Backfilling the stadium for the absenting glory hunters and nostalgic ‘it’s never

     

    been the same since Henrik left’s’ is purile nonsense, towards a club that’s

     

    flourished and won against all the odds, dominating, as the only

     

    buying winning club, in the land.

    You after a pension from PAUL67 or summat?

     

     

    Well done on ten years of contributing. I joined early 2009. Loved it. And every person I’ve since met as a result.

    BMCUW.

     

     

    seen that mate , thats what got me thinking about him. something in back of mind told me his name was Osvaldo Juninho so I was on the right lines

    Aye,strange one that. It certainly wasn’t that length on my title bar. It might be longer than the petition itself!

     

     

    Seems some eejit is proposing that photographs of buildings are outlawed. So there goes yer holiday snaps.

    You’ll have read the Pirlo article then? Fascinating. Really unappreciated early and often later in his career because he wanted the ball to do the work.

    I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I gave some moments ago.

     

     

    Kevin Hughes

     

    The thought had crossed my mind. However, in consultation with WGS (naw, not that one, William G Stewart) he was very pedantic and said that if he was to allow Juninho’s full name then ‘Junior’ has to be taken into consideration.

     

     

    I know, I know, don’t shoot the messenger!

     

     

    All complaints need to be put in writing to WGS c/o 15-1 C4, London

    OK if petitions are back on the agenda then this is one I think worth supporting; “We, the people, oppose the new South Glasgow University Hospital being named after a monarch”.

    …but then I’m a republican. Sign if it is the type of thing you care about. Otherwise just scroll on past.
