Dundee United’s Move for Hamulic Hits Unexpected Snag as Striker Heads Back to France
What a whirlwind 48 hours it’s been for Dundee United fans following the club’s pursuit of Bosnian striker Said Hamulic. It looked like a done deal—excitement was building, anticipation was high, and yet, it’s all suddenly gone sideways.
Jim Goodwin, the Tannadice boss, had set his sights firmly on Hamulic, hoping to bring the Toulouse striker in on loan to strengthen the squad ahead of the upcoming season. At just 24 years old and already capped six times for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hamulic seemed like the perfect addition. The lad had already experienced multiple European leagues—Poland, France, the Netherlands, Russia—and bringing that international flair to the Scottish Championship looked like a serious statement of intent.

But then, just as Hamulic was en route to Scotland to finalise the move, things went off-script. He made it only as far as London before a major hiccup surfaced in the deal. Details are still scarce, but whatever the snag was, it was significant enough to see Hamulic turn around and fly back to France instead of heading north to Dundee. That’s a serious blow to United’s plans, especially considering Toulouse were reportedly open to another loan despite paying £1.7 million for him two years ago.
Now, while the deal isn’t officially dead, it’s definitely in limbo. Talks are ongoing, but the sense is that it’ll take some serious negotiating—and perhaps a change in conditions—to get this one back on track.
Meanwhile, in another part of the transfer saga, Ukrainian goalkeeper Yevhen Kucherenko is still waiting on a work permit. Everything else is ready: terms agreed, fee settled, bags packed—but until the paperwork clears, he remains in limbo too. It’s a waiting game on both fronts for Goodwin and his staff.
And then there’s Sam Dalby. The young forward decided against staying at Dundee United, opting instead to sign a four-year deal with Bolton. While he praised the club for giving him a valuable playing spell, it’s clear his heart was set on English football. Still, he spoke highly of the United experience—20,000 fans, real ambition, a club pushing for promotion. That kind of atmosphere speaks volumes.
Right now, it feels like United’s summer window is a mix of promise and frustration. The ambition is there. The targets are bold. But the reality? It’s proving a little more complicated. Hamulic might still wear tangerine this season—but as things stand, there’s some serious work to be done to make that happen. Let’s hope this isn’t the end of the story.
