    When he scores the winning penalty for us in the play-off final in May 2026 you'll eat your words.
    Looking at him, Rousslillon will probably eat them first

    Older fans will of course remember dear old Ralph Milne turning up in January looking like he had had a good Christmas, and if I remember correctly debuted against a young Stuart Pearce in a dire 0-1 home defeat to Forest. I met dear old Ralph many years later, and can confirm that he admitted that strength and conditioning were perhaps not his top priorities during his brief spell witj the Addicks.
    Think his song was, "He's fat, he's round, his arse is on the ground, Ralphy Milne"

    Yet there would be highlights on Football Focus of Dundee United playing in Europe and Milne was ripping defences apart.

    Astrit was quality... Probably would have played at a much higher level if he sorted his fitness out. Seem to remember reading at the time, probably on here, that he smoked like a chimney

    He came to us from Liege whilst Dushitelet was owning them.
    In other cirumstances it would have been interesting if he stayed with us as I agree with you, he was a very good footballer.

    Wasn’t he signed on a short term contract? If so we don’t know for sure when it expires.

    No but it’s either Jan 1st or Jan 31st considering when players contracts expire and since we haven’t played him yet we can assume we don’t want him here any longer than we needed to and probably have a whole list of LWB’s we’re looking at getting in straight from the start of the window

    Might be doing him a favour, getting him to a reasonable level of fitness in time for the window to open and a club can take a chance on him or Bell is out for longer than anticipated, or we might have to call on him over a busy Christmas period, or none of those.

    Rousillon - full bodied and much better when allowed to breath (particularly after chasing 21 year-olds)

    I'd hope we have someone lined up and ready in time to play at Blackburn on 4 Jan. Realistically though i think it'll probably not be until Sheff Utd on the 17th.

    Okay my latest theory is that he's on probation to be a Hyltonesque coaching staff candidate. That has to be the answer, watching him waddle after the ball in pre-match has no other explanation
