Jackie McNamara expects to add to his Dundee United squad this week with the signings of former Tottenham Hotspur youngsters Calum Butcher and Kudus Oyenuga and may also move for the three trialists who have joined the squad for pre-season training this week.
Lee Camp, the former Norwich City goalkeeper; Graham Carey, released by St Mirren; and Nadir Ciftci, a Turkish striker last with NAC Breda, are all trying to earn deals. Defender Butcher and striker Oyenuga have already impressed and McNamara hopes to strike deals.
"There are a lot of things still happening player-wise and hopefully by the end of this week we will have the right ones in," he said. "There are two lads here who have been with Tottenham. I watched them at the weekend with Darren Jackson and both impressed so we have moved to bring them here."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
