also linked to a polish right back who allegedly played in the Dumbarton game name of Pawel Zuk

 

The clips at 0:35 suggests he has experience of playing in Airdrie, so no qualms on throwing him straight in to the league cup.

Kevin Van Veen. Lazy Lazy Lazy striker but has talent.

Will bang in goals if he's "up for it".

Personally I wouldn't sign him but if they manager can get a tune out of him, he will do well.

Don’t piss on our chips.

Probably not likely to sign for a Scottish Championship side anyway.

Scotland’s POTY 2021-22, a la Higdon. That’ll do.

So....that means Grimmy is the next one in the shoogly peg club? (I'm assuming SOD isn't going anywhere)

I always assumed we basically promised SOD we'd sell him

Yep - I assumed that part of him signing on pre-euros (and us getting the appearance money) was us agreeing to be "easy to deal with" if he gets a good offer on the back of the Euros - and I assume his game at Wembley would have been good for him.

It would seem overkill to have SOD, Grimshaw, Johnson and be looking this new RB on trial too.
Wouldn’t be surprised if someone down south watched SOD at Wembley and is willing to take take a punt on him.

Not saying Van Been is bad. I'm just saying he has the talent to play at a higher level than league 2 in England. He just needs to use it. Will play well in some games but I suspect he may be a target for the boo boys if things are going badly. Personally hope he comes in and scores 15 goals but we will see!

We don’t boo our own players at Motherwell.

A few contracts down south will have ended 40 mins ago...

wonder if tomorrow brings much.

Genuinely curious, since when did English contracts expiring became a thing.

I don't mean that in a Burrows reply guy "where's the signings!" type way just that if you look around the league there hasn't really been much movement anywhere and there seems to be the same "it's because English contracts don't expire until the end of June" sort of reasoning.

I know it's something Burrows referenced when he was on the MFC Pod the other week and I appreciate everything he was saying.

United, Hearts and St Johnstone have made 1 new signing each. County, Celtic and Rangers have signed 2 (albeit IIRC Celtic & Rangers are pre-contracts). Hibs, Dundee and ourselves have signed 3 (although one of Hibs is a loan made permanent). The only teams who seem to have signed a significant number of players have been Aberdeen, Livi and St Mirren.

Of the 3 teams who have signed a pile, a fair chunk of those have been domestic transfers.

I get that, for us, recruitment is different this summer and we don't seem to have launched into dishing out pre-contracts Oprah style but it's just a bit weird that waiting until English contracts have expired is being held up as a reason not to announce when we've announced plenty of signings from England pre-July in the past.

It's worth noting that English players wages are payed by the PFA until August 31st if they have been freed by a club. 

So players are generally in no rush to sign.

Yeah it's weird this year for some reason.

James Brown was pretty open about the fact he was signing permanently for us, and has been training with us, yet it wasn't announced until this morning, which ties up with all the July 1st stuff for players at English clubs.
