Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

Tbh, I found the interview unintentionally hilarious. It's an absolute car crash on so many levels.

I didn't read it as a "f**k you" or anything I just read it as him really awkwardly trying to flex and he seems quite rattled by the criticism he's taking. Also, his talking about himself in the 3rd person is absolute *chef's kiss*.

Talking at length and trying to show how unbothered he is by getting called out has the same energy...

From reading this and other variations reported elsewhere I thought the reactions he didn’t care about were from pundits who all mostly said they didn’t understand why he would leave Motherwell (unless it was for the money) so I didn’t take it as a dig at ‘Well fans.  He attempts to thank Motherwell for the platform they have given him, but he has moved on.

You boys are affy touchy about a boy you're over!  Comments are clearly aimed at the press who have pretty much had it in for him for not becoming a world beater after scoring against Barca.  He's moved around more than most so you can't really expect him to show loyalty to Motherwell, just respect and gratitude which he has, just about, done.  I do hope his football is better than his interviews though...

Unfollowing him on social media because he left us was secondary to my main reason that was his endless patter about NF-fucking-Ts.

I also read it a bit like this. It read like something Alan Partridge would say when talking about driving to Dundee eating big toblerones.

10+ clubs are interested in him and he signs for Dundee?

What's happening in Dundee that everyone wants to move there?

American money.

Fair play to them though. If anything can stop them being yo yo shite it's money.

I am quite sure after his performance v Killie a week ago his suitors were a lot less than 10. 

Alexander and Lasley were supposedly at the game. Again would not be surprised if we decided against any move. I have not seen any confirmation we actually offered a PCA. Just speculation we were interested. 

He may come good but not overly bothered he has reportedly joined Dundee.

No supposedly about it. They were on camera at Firhill. They were definitely at the game.

Possibly entirely unrelated but Alexander was very quick to shut down chat of a "direct replacement" for Watt when it was confirmed he'd fucked off. That was a couple of days after he and Lasley had been at Firhill (presumably watching Rudden rather than giving Robbie Crawford support).

I'd be surprised if we based any decision on one game (I agree he was underwhelming against Killie) but I wouldn't be surprised if we cooled our jets a bit and I mentioned this in the Dundee thread, when it comes down to it chances are he gets more of a shot of starting at Dens than he does here.

If he signs with us does he start ahead of Van Veen? Nope, absolutely not. Does he start ahead of Danny Mullen? Possibly.

If he signs with us he probably arrives as a project in the same way Conor Shields is. Maybe that didn't appeal and fair enough. McPake and Dundee chuck an extra couple of hundred quid a week his way and make a realistic pitch that he starts for them.

I'm happy enough we were taking a look at him as he's exactly the profile of player worth our time but all things considered...
