Can't see that this has been covered already.

Scottish season has started as ridiculously early as usual, with Dundee United making a League Cup trip away to new boys Kelty Hearts.

Jamie Robson didn't feature, with consternation on the Arabs' twitter feed as to whether he was just injured, or already headed southbound, driving from Dundee (in his bare feet).
 
Getting a little twitchy now tbh.
We need more power and strength in the side which is yet to be addressed and was identified by KR straight after our Play-off defeat which was reassuring.

McGuane is a fantastic signing and he will make a big, big difference ala a Baptiste type player.

However a new left back (x2) , centre half, physical CM, and Harrison type centre forward (to offer something different and bring Taylor into play) are key positions.

I've renewed my St and I will remain optimistic/ positive but these signings need to come into the building within the next week or so to avoid yet another slow start and us scratching around just before a ball is kicked.

There will be 2 or 3 out of contract "trialists" heading off on the training camp and they are likely to be joined by two new signings if the deals are completed early this week. I was told to expect a left back (Robson?) announced early in the week and a centre back (Boyle?) before the City game but we know what came of these whispers in the past!!

Either way, you'd expect things to start moving this week and it was at the same stage last season where 3 or 4 signings were announced so a repeat will be good!

Yes that would do me. But who told you what to expect??

It's what Oxford do unfortunately. Lots of hot air and promises. Next week could be a defining week to bring in the main bulk of the squad, to give them time to gel.
I can't see why any manager would wait until a week or so before the season kicks off to bring in players, if they are going to be a main stay in the squad, at a time when you're scraping the barrel for what other teams didn't want.
Groundhog day!

NEVER, ever, has a username been chosen with so little thought.

I am amazed at these comments.
The bulk of the squad are here. Of the first team we are missing what 2 players (obviously a left back and maybe a CB depending on how ready McNally is)
Waiting for quality players is not scraping the barrel. Surely most supporters get the fact that PL clubs are not close generally to deciding who they are going to send out on loan.
Groundhog day maybe with regard to pretty kneejerk comments that don't reflect at all the reality.

We’ve got the main bulk of the squad. Hopefully get the missing defenders for the friendly on Friday
