Mitch Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Anyone know if this lad is decent? Three year deal, so someone must think so! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 That’ll be Long’s replacement then. He looked decent in the games I saw him at Tynecastle and Queens Park so fingers crossed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Anyone know if this lad is decent? Three year deal, so someone must think so!Happy for the boy. Should be a decent move. It's a step up but not a ridiculous leap in quality so he should manage the step up. He was deployed to run the channels with us and can run all day. He also knows how to finish and hold the ball up well. I'm not sure how he'll be used at Motherwell but he was predominantly a lone striker for us and did it well. I think with a partner he could do better with his goal return. Our CM was pretty shite last season and we had no one to feed him so he did really well to score as many as he did and a few of his goals were done off his own back. I'll be keeping an eye on how he does and really hope it's a cracking signing for both parties. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to pretend I've seen much of him other than his goals against Ayr and Hearts but going purely on the bit in bold, as @Gianfranco said earlier in the thread that feels like a straight replacement for Chrissy Long. Also, FAO: the thread in general this is interesting. Edited May 27, 2021 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OS has both Devine and Connelly out of contract but neither appear on either the released or offered new deal lists. The OS doesn't have any contract info for Johnston. I notice he's been bumped up onto the First Team page now though. He was listed with the Reserves until recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Some amount of faith to be putting into a player that's had half a good season. He looked quality against us earlier in the season though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - 22 league games. Little more than half a normal season's worth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Tbf he's a unit and is able to control the ball, so at worst he'll be a Chris Kane type figure. Motherwell can't really lose with this deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
