Ironically RH had agreed to sign Marsh but he couldn't sign as the deadline had passed. He went to Larne and was due to come back to us in January. He didn't play much for Larne so now that TL has joined us I'd say it's unlikely that he would sign him. We don't need midfielders, we desperately need 2 centre backs

He left Larne to be closer to home.

The players looked ready in the end.

Looks like he's going to Bohs.

With our pitch I can't see us attracting anyone from a top professional club.

If true then that'll be a big financial outlay from POD. Paying a transfer fee and big wages over 2-3 years you'd imagine.

Yip, I'd say he'll cost ok.

Then again, I'm sure the likes of Boyce, Winchester, Thomas, Ferguson etc are all on big money.

Big increase in wage bill this season?

A significant increase! That's the case across the league in general. Average wage has gone from €600 per week to €1000 according to podcasts in large parts due to UEFA solidarity payments.

Yeah, cos splashing any extra cash on player wages has always been proven to be the best thing to do.

If we can double our income on gate receipts once the stand is open that’ll contribute also to bringing in players on more £££

What's the alternative? Stick to a strict salary system and end up like Sligo Rovers. Have to pay to play

Holt is signing for Derry City.

TL wants a quality CB and the first 2 games has convinced him that Holt is the player to bring in.

No matter what people think, Holt is a quality addition.

The squad is strong but a top CB was needed to give Derry a chance to compete for the league title.

Signing an SPL regular is a great signing. And it's happening.

Seems highly regarded by Dundee United fans so that looks a good signing.
