For some players a move to the SPL can mean maybe improved wages & more security. However top eL players will not move to Dundee United unless they desparate.
In the long term they are better off waiting for english Championship transfer as one promotion away from the Premiership. (e.g. Byrne, Forde, Ward, O'Callaghan). No non-old firm SPL players get a move to the Premiership.
Only one eL-SPL transfer in the close season was in last years eL team of the year.
James McFadden and Andy Webster both moved to the EPL from non-Old Firm SPL clubs. A good few non-Old Firm SPL players get moves to Championship clubs though and the odd one has gone onto Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Russia.
Anyone attending the Setanta Cup spot him at a game?
My guess is he was looking at Paul Keegan playing for Drogheda against Linfield
