11 Dundee United standouts get it straight over new contracts but Jim Goodwin itching to deal key men in
dailyrecord.co.ukJim Goodwin has admitted he can’t offer new contracts until he knows what league Dundee United will be in next season.The United boss is trying to ensure his Championship leaders finish off the job and return to the Scottish Premiership.
The Tannadice club have a raft of top stars like Louis Moult, Kevin Holt, Scott McMann, Ross Graham, Declan Glass, Chris Mochrie, Archie Meekison, David Wotherspoon, Sadat Anaku, Matthew Cudjoe and Logan Chalmers, who is currently out on loan at Ayr United, who are also out-of-contract.The loans of Alex Grieve, Jordan Tillson and Jack Walton are also up in the summer, as are the deals of youngsters Lewis O’Donnell, Miller Thomson, Craig Moore and Layton Bisland.
Goodwin said: “The players understand the situation. I have had conversations with them but we are not in a position to offer anybody a contract because we need to find out where we will be as a club next season.“The aim for everybody is to get this club back into the Premiership.
We are not distracting ourselves with contract talks or anything else. The players, my staff and myself all have a responsibility to get this club promoted and if we do that then we can all sit down in the summer and talk about what the long-term future holds.”Midfielder Craig Sibbald has triggered an extension but terms on that have still to be finalised while this summer Australian keeper Mark Birighitti will finally part ways with United.
