It's semantics but Alexander's point was "We are not looking for a direct replacement for Tony". I wouldn't be surprised if we brought in another forward but I'd say there's more chance of it being 'across the front 3' type. Yes the “direct replacement “ was key. I’d be amazed if another forward does not come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a question of how much weight you put in what he says publicly but his whole spiel was interesting: Quote "We're always looking, we haven't stopped looking. I know the window goes from there to there but in between there's a lot of work, a lot of analysis on players. We always understand that we can't be over reliant on any individual so we've always got counter targets for any upcoming issues or players leaving or players coming. So, for us, we feel we have to just constantly try to improve. So even if we're not looking at a position but someone comes along we feel can improve us as a club and as a team then we look to do something. That will continue to be the case. We don't go from one window to the next with different plans. We try to have a consistency in our work that we've always got players targeted and identified that we can hopefully bring in when the time is right. Sometimes it's now, sometimes it'll be the summer. That's how we'll continue to work but we feel the additions we've made are good and if there's anyone out there that we feel can improve us again then we'll try to do something." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Not directly related to Motherwell but I see there's rumours that Cagliari are looking to loan Lewis Ferguson from Aberdeen with a view to buying him for £3.5 million in the summer.Loaning out our best players to bigger teams/leagues is a model we should have adopted years ago IMO. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, someone (I'd guess @RandomGuy.) posted a heatmaps of Watt and Tierney a while back and they were pretty similar IIRC. I get the impression that Tierney is here more with a view to next season but bumping up the available subs means there's a decent chance to drip feed him into the side. He's still a slightly weird signing as to all intents and purposes he's a #10 (and we don't play with a #10) albeit Alexander was clear in pointing out that we actively target players who can play in 'at least' two of the roles we have in the team and swerve players who have one specific position. Short term I'd have thought Shields/Roberts are more likely to take up Watt's position on the left of the 3. Like others on here I still wouldn't be surprised to see another 'across the front 3' forward come in and tbf, while he said he wasn't looking at bringing a "direct replacement" in for Watt Alexander's press conference didn't rule out other players coming in.

Desp Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Whats the script with Slattery? Is he nursing an injury? I fail to believe anyone can look at our midfield options and decide Slattery isn't in the best three. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
