Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

Not a big fan of the white on the kit but it’s not terrible.

As for the shorts. I actually enjoyed the change to white though I think after a couple of years it is appropriate to revert to claret again just to freshen things up.

Our home tops are always going to be pretty similar and so it is the away top I’m mainly focused on. They will not be able to top last seasons. I’d think they’d hopefully go for a full claret away kit. Not a big fan of either the white or black away tops we’ve had in the past few years.

Yep, last seasons away was probably as good as it’s going to get, Claret would be my choice, the last claret one was very decent.

Man who rejects contract in not being utilised shocker. 

Also would add in the ridiculous red card that cost us points in Aberdeen. Lost his place in the team there and then.

On the new top chat, now that I’ve seen the full ensemble, the best way I can put it is that’s its a very good Motherwell kit, but not a great Motherwell top.

No idea if its just the usual tabloid paper shite, or we are actually in for him. 
He’s a good player, if not particularly likeable. Could be a decent frontline if we do keep Cole as well, although getting both is unlikely.

Big Weird Kyle then, eh?

Tbh my main takeaway from this is that Cole's definitely away more than anything else.

With Accies away and Kyle Lafferty not scoring against us, we'd be title contenders.

Explain yourself

The script badge has been on more recent away kits than home kits.

Yeah it has been but my personal opinion is that it should only be on a claret and Amber shirt.  No problem with it on a white shirt with C&A trimmings but on a blue or black shirt it just looks wrong.

This is pretty much where I am also. It's a good Motherwell top, but not a great one. But it's a fine Motherwell kit.

That was my initial reaction too but having read the article (loathe as I am on account of it being The Sun) it sounds like it's more an opportunity thing where he's officially available so we've chucked our hat in the ring. I'm still not holding my breath on Decanter re-signing but I'm not sure the two are as connected as I initially thought.

I mean, with Watt, Lawleff and Shields the only ones signed up we're still pretty short on centre forwards as things stand.

Shoutout to this guy for the single dumbest take on it I've seen though...

And Dundee back in the league. We’re practically starting on 9 points.

I would be open to Lafferty signing up for a year.  Chances of that happening are probably remote.  I suspect after his 13 goals (in 13 games) there will be another club somewhere willing to throw £4 or £5k per week at him.  Puts him firmly out of our price range.  You never know but I just don't see it happening.

Again - if this is even true I can also see it being a bit of a Long situation coming about.  He will wait to see (quite rightly) what offers materialise....could take several weeks.  I would be gobsmacked if in the next few days we announce his signing !

As for Cole re-signing.  His routine is usually come to Motherwell perform well, head south, not perform well and return to Motherwell - rinse and repeat.  One day he may well hit a rich vein of form down south.  He has the talent, just never seems to work out.

I quite like the home strip.  I like the white piping 🤷‍♂️.  Will probably still end up buying the away one as I do most seasons...

That feels a bit unfair on Decanter tbh.

His first stint up here he was on loan, his loan expired. We wanted to extend it, Wigan wanted to get shot of him permanently so Doncaster ended up taking him (and presumably his full wage) off their books. I'm not sure how much of that would have been in his hands.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not sure we were/are by any means his preferred choice but equally I'd be surprised if he had much of a say in whether his original loan was extended or not.
