distresseduke Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Thought chalmers done okay for us ...pretty good going forward & apart from a horrific 45 minutes against raith was quite steady I definitely think he'll be a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Good find - would be happy with that. He fits into the profile we should be looking at - not the finished article with potential to develop. More than 2 goals conceded without Laing in the side - 9 More than 2 goals conceded with Laing in the side - 0 Our back line improved vastly when he came in. As you say not the finished article but certainly the best partner we had for McManus this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Motherwell and Dundee United appear to be competing with Ross County for Mark Durnan's signature. http://t.co/N3AVgtwrej Hands off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one m in Motherwell Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Classic 'team need defenders, defender linked with one SPFL club, pick a few others at random to flesh out the story' type article that. In all seriousness, I'm liking the apparent model we're adopting this summer. Can't remember the last time we looked at players in the other Scottish leagues.

Gianfranco Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I have to admit I know nothing about the player but you'd imagine United have the most cash to play with especially if there's a development fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I think if McIntyre wants him badly enough then the chairman will allow the development fee. But United will almost certainly offer the much more lucrative package compared to Ross County and Motherwell. I'm not optimistic but really am hoping he signs for County, I think he's a very good player. He's a right-sided CB and played on the right of the back three for Queen of the South latterly. He looks the obvious replacement to Paul Quinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well fan for life Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Noticed this earlier re: Laing: https://twitter.com/LeighCurtis_NP/status/606067871341531136 Would happily take Laing alongside Mick next year. We looked a far better side when they got a decent run together. A consistent back four of Hammell, McManus, Laing and Law would be a decent place to start.

Manny kaltz Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Had a discussion tonight with a current Hibs youth coach who has seen Chalmers through the years , he thinks Joe Chalmers will do well with us at left back if needed. Chalmers used to play left centre back at a younger level has a good left peg and distribution, he is also physical.Downside he is not the quickest and can be exposed to quick movement. He said he has played regularly with Erwin in the Scotland teams. He also said that the £500k supposedly for Erwin is nonsense, nearer £350 k is what we will get. He also believes Erwin will do very well down south if he goes. Thinks Hibees will go up automatically as Stubbs will mould an even better team next season.

Swello Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I see we're playing our Footgolf in The Netherlands this year - games against Herenveen and Borrussia Munchegladbach U-23's on the cards in early July for anyone that fancies it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 This is reminding me very much of McGhee's first season. Taking an unfit squad, on the back of a shite season where we finished 2nd bottom, over to Europe for a pre-season fitness camp. If next season can be half as good as McGhee's first season was, we'll be laughing. I also see we're looking to confirm 4, maybe 5, other friendlies. Most, if not all, will be away from Fir Park due to the work being done on the pitch. Here's hoping for a couple of cracking lower league visits (never been to Berwick's ground so that would be good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMFCfan1886 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Personally I hope we can create a Lanarkshire Cup at a neutral venue Airdrie or Cliftonhill maybe? And visits to Stirling, Raith or Queens Park would be decent (especially the latter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well fan for life Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 More than 2 goals conceded without Laing in the side - 9 More than 2 goals conceded with Laing in the side - 0 Our back line improved vastly when he came in. As you say not the finished article but certainly the best partner we had for McManus this season. Laing and McManus looked far more composed than any team with O'Brien in it. No harm to the boy, but he was a bit of a cart horse. Just swiped his legs the way he was facing whether it hit the ball or man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny kaltz Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Erwin it appears away to Leeds tomorrow, for the guys who think this is a good deal we will get at most £325k. We can not put an add on as this move is not a transfer. I wish we had started negotiations prior to February as we may have kept him. Wish him all the best and I think Well fans will see him flourise elsewhere when he could have done another season with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
