On first sight against Hearts, Ashley Maynard-Brewer looks like the commanding and competent goalie we have been screaming for. Marc: I don't think the business done during the transfer window is the biggest concern, it's the mismanagement of players, constantly chopping and changing line ups and not looking anywhere near fit enough.
We asked for your thoughts on Dundee United's business in the January transfer window.
Here's what some of you said:
Kieran: First and foremost the club addressed the elephant in the room - goalkeeping. On first sight against Hearts, Ashley Maynard-Brewer looks like the commanding and competent goalie we have been screaming for. If he keeps it up we would be foolish not to pursue a longer term contract in the summer. The other two signings we will see what may come. On paper they sound decent but actions speak louder than words.
George: Let's hope these signings last longer than some previous ones. Players bought or loaned in haven't lasted for more than months before being moved on or released. Signing based on stats in the current league doesn't mean they are good enough for Scottish football. I'll keep my fingers crossed but feel promoting our young players, rather than selling them, would have been a better option based on the last two seasons.
Malcolm: January never a good window for buying, folk are shouting for a striker but richer clubs than us have struggled for that.
Paul: No disrespect to any of the new signings but it's difficult to be optimistic when the manager continues to play a system that he does not have the players for. The signings could be good players however it is unrealistic to imagine they will turn United around as long as the system remains in place. Simply put, either the system or the manager has to go. Unfortunately Jim Goodwin won't change and Mark Ogren won't act as he has little interest. United will continue on a downward spiral.
Stuart: Really poor window. We are in a relegation scrap and teams like Kilmarnock have strengthened. Goodwin is too negative with his tactics and the football is terrible to watch. Very little creativity and very predictable, the total opposite from the first few games of the season.
Marc: I don't think the business done during the transfer window is the biggest concern, it's the mismanagement of players, constantly chopping and changing line ups and not looking anywhere near fit enough.
