javeajag Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 A much needed signing …..a utility player for full back and wing backs would be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 I think it is important to say that being able to get these players in before the league starts has been in no small measure due to the commitment of fans getting their season tickets in such good numbers. Hopefully between now and the start of next week we see the total going passed the 3000 mark which might help the manager add another player (or two) to the squad. https://ptfc.co.uk/season-tickets/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeWearsNumber9 Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Being skint we were always going to have to use the loan market well and you would have to say the 3 we have brought in on loan so far all look very good acquisitions on paper at least. The 2 loan signings today for me are very positive ones. Doolan proving he is no mug in the window either so far with some great extensions and (hopefully) some very decent new signings. I think one more centre back, a utility defender who can play left back or defensive midfield. A lee hodson type if you will and a winger to cover lawless and fitzy. That should be us just about good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambies Lost Doo Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 If we hit 3000 tickets then our revenue issues will be eased. Throw in TJF monthly subs and any extra investment we get we can even look to strengthen in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow & Redneck Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Charlie Mulgrew has left United. Despite his age (and the overall age of the squad), would be worth a punt on a 12-month deal? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Mulgrew (left sided centreback/fullback) ticks both the position required and the older heid in defence boxes. Whether he's affordable, still got the legs and of the right character are different matters entirely. Gut feeling is we won't be interested due to one or two of the latter.

laukat Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 If Mulgrew is cheap enough and is clear on what his role is then I don't think he would be a bad signing for us. Broadfoot and Ambrose have shown that quality and experience can compensate for age at this level. Mulgrew being left sided, able to play centre half and left back would complete the defensive needs. However the bonus ball may be that he was a very good defensive midfielder for Celtic and Scotland. If he's still got the legs to play that role he might just be a very good signing. I think the problems at Dundee United were more deep seated than just Charlie Mulgrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Not knocking Shaun Byrne but I fear the operative word in your posting might well be "midfielder" - there's "competition for places" there already and perhaps it might be more beneficial for the balance of the squad if, as others have said, a winger or a left-sided centre back were pursued, if available/affordable.

Gotta feeling Byrne was a player perhaps we expressed interest in. He's a non creative defensive midfielder who'd do the ball winning donkey work. Possibly a fall back player if either Alston or McInroy failed to materialise. Dools must believe that within the central midfield we'll have enough dig as it is. Kinda suggests tho' we'll play our customary 4-2-3-1 as often as not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAG1970 Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Doolan is interested in Mulgrew. Seems he is after an experience defender plus another attacking player. Asked about Mulgrew, Doolan said: “I rate Charlie highly and I think half the county rates Charlie highly. “I think there are a few teams looking at him and I think it is an area we still need to look at.
