Crilly Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Excellent news. Skippy gives us a bit more mobility and experience in an important part of the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebonce Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I don't think it can be overstated how important a signing that is and how much he improves Motherwell's prospects. I hate watching him as a blinkered Ross County supporter, because of the diving and feigning injury etc. But from a more objective perspective, he offers so much to the team. He was immense in the play-offs in the deeper role. Baraclough knows he has an excellent player for between the lines of midifeld and attack, but can hold McDonald back as option to just dig in and have the team hit with pace when the time calls.

Desp Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Gutted. I was hoping we would announce the signing of Craig Samson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 "at least" two more signings to come in as well. which is stating the obvious given we've already said we're in the market for a new keeper and central midfielder but still..."at least" = maybe more! exciting times indeed! https://twitter.com/alan_burrows/status/623390209208655872 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estragon Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Sadly it also said McDonald's been offered a big money move to China. What a difference a day makes eh? Guaranteed a couple of goals against us - he's never been anything other than an absolute fucking nuisance against Killie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 An absolutely superb signing and one, i've got to admit, I didn't expect to happen. I thought he'd be off elsewhere for more cash. This should give the whole squad a huge lift going into the new season. The difference he made last season was there for all to see. Wes Fletcher and Louis Moult should be rubbing their hands with glee at having the opportunity to work with this guy. They only need to see what he did for Lee Erwin and how he became a much better player simply by having McDonald alongside him for a few months. The goalkeeper should be the final piece of the jigsaw, but it's good to see we're looking for cover in the middle of the park too. New GK Law Laing McManus Hammell Lasley Pearson Ainsworth McDonald Johnson Moult/Fletcher That's a pretty good first choice line-up. Providing it's not Craig Samson who's the new goalie! I haven't seen any of the two strikers play, so no idea who'll be the one to start. Perhaps Fletcher, given he has the No.9 shirt? In saying that, squad numbers mean little these days. Decent options on the bench too. Watt, Leitch & Thomas have shown they can perform in the first team, and Clarkson is good bit of experience too. Keiran Kennedy and Joe Chalmers could be other options, though again, haven't seen them play. All in all, really looking forward to the new season.

thisGRAEME Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Straight off the bat, we look a vastly more mobile team this season. Twardzik Reid Ramsden McManus Hammell Ainsworth Lasley Carswell Vigurs Law Sutton Was how we lined up against Stjarnan. Peason is vastly more up-and-atom than Carswell, Johnson far more aggressive running at players than Vigurs, McDonald with more ability than Law, presumably Fletcher/Moult more mobile than Sutton (cause everyone is). Worth remembering that Ainsworth is out for the first two, so we might see Fletcher/Thomas out there on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
