RandomGuy. Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Motherwell just got rid of about five players and Inverness will still have excess cash from winning the Scottish Cup. Means their expenditure is lower/Income is higher at the moment so they can afford higher wages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkingbadges Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Stats look average. Hope it's not another Pogba type player. We need someone who can make an immediate impact Taylor style. In Archie we trust!Taylor was ok but he only came on loan and was hardly goal a game material. I think folk need to move on. Haven't seen enough of pogba to clarify his quality but clearly all the folk we are looking at have the same sort of unproven pedigree. Can't remember anyone being excited about Osman signing. Lawless was unheralded etc. Whoever comes in has a chance of being as shite or as good as our recent signings. Our signings are like fruit - a gamble.Dumbuya seems good, Amoo meh, pogba never fit - Ho Hum 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 i just don't see how inverness and motherwell can offer more money than us nowadays, similar attendances same league etc.Aye that's a weird one.Not like we're a bigger club with higher attendances who have sold players for more money or anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednyella Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 When was the last time Motherwell sold a player for decent transfer cash? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 probably just last summer when they punted Erwin for a few hundred k, or Ojaama / Anier in the couple of years before that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbuya seems good, Amoo meh, pogba never fit - Ho Hum No-one has terrified or given defences more to do in a Thistle shirt than Taylor did. His finishing wasn't the greatest, but he is many, many, many times better than the player we have in his role currently. I really hope Pogba proves me wrong, but so far he's been shite. If we were offered Taylor for another 6 months, I'd take him in a heartbeat. That's not to say there's not someone out there that's better, because there probably is. And there's no way he's coming back anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Sad,but I didn't think Pogba was going to do a job for us from the start. He could still prove me wrong, but I cant see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgieshaws2nd Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Aye that's a weird one.Not like we're a bigger club with higher attendances who have sold players for more money or anything.bigger club hmmm don't think so, who have you sold for decent money . even when motherwell had possibly their best time in their history, finishing 3rd in league a couple of years back their crowds stuggled to get over 4k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 'N Yellow Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Tbf they sold Lee Erwin last season and managed to sign up players like McDonald and Pearson as well as pay fees for several others. I don't doubt they could pay more. Just noticed that Pearson joined Motherwell from Kerala Blasters as well. Hopefully German is of similar quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgieshaws2nd Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 i would really like to see us keep hold of osman, even if it means paying more than usual for us. obviously you don't want to pay too much to the amount where you endanger the club, however losing osman really could be the difference of staying in the league next season, after our top 6 finish this season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Jag Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Aye that's a weird one.Not like we're a bigger club with higher attendances who have sold players for more money or anything.^scrambling for relevance.Motherwell - An ailing club from a post-industrial backwater. Partick Thistle - From Scotland's largest and most vibrant city. After decades in the doldrums, we now have a top class youth academy, we're backed by millionaires, we're the subject of global media coverage and we're widely regarded as Scotland's most innovative and coolest club. This vessel is going places, baby. Edited January 29, 2016 by Hammer Jag 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 bigger club hmmm don't think so, who have you sold for decent money . even when motherwell had possibly their best time in their history, finishing 3rd in league a couple of years back their crowds stuggled to get over 4kFwiw I don't even think we'll sign Osman but this is ridiculously wrong. Motherwell are quite clearly a bigger club than Partick Thistle, not by much - but by enough. We've sold Erwin, Anier and Ojamaa for a few hundred grand over the last couple of years, as well as the Murphy sell on fee. We finished 2nd with gates of 5k, not 3rd and struggling for 4k....Or have I just been whooshed to f**k? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season 2nd bottom stayed up in a play off against a poor rangers team crowds of 3k, this season looks like same again same crowds. Unfortunatley you are a team on the downward slope the mighty jags are on the up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K77 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Now we have some money I hope we spend a little sorting the drainage on our pitch, fully expecting Tuesday's game to be off as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
