How are we going to use Moult? (IF)  Will he sit on the bench and get the last 20 minutes, will he play alongside KVV, will we wrap him in cotton wool till suspension and injury catch up with the big Dutchman?

Does Moult just play the Celtic/Rangers games? 

As long as the sellotape, that holds the plastic cutlery he uses as knees these days, holds together, He'll be back up to KVV.

I was dead set against it.

If we signed a player who had played the equivalent of less than 23 games in the past 5 years who hadn't previously played for us, the reaction wouldn't be as jovial as what it appears to be.

However, it was probably when Hearts and Hibs were getting linked (as much as it wasn't likely to happen), I began to get jealous and was thinking - as much as I don't want particularly wan't him to sign for us, I definitely don't want to see him play for anyone else.

Also, in that < 23 games equivalent (over 19 starts and 36s) he has scored 9 times, so I guess if you get him on the park, there's a reasonable chance of a goal still.

For me, if we are happy that he plays back up to KVV and comes on for the odd twenty minutes when we may need a goal, then it might just about work out. However, if Van Veen goes a spell without a goal and there's a clamour for his inclusion and people expect to see the work rate of the version with working knees, that's when people will probably be disappointed.

I absolutely love the guy and as much as it's a signing I wouldn't perhaps have wanted, I'll definitely be singing Spandau Ballet after a few beers tomorrow.

The reschedule is because Louis will have been at 3 boys clubs games, put in a shift at a foodbank and visited a sick 'Well supporter in hospital by lunchtime.

And the drive up from the West Midlands equates to a 1300 press conference to save him setting off with less sleep than Tommo if it was at 9.

Does a blinged out Land Rover discovery count as heavy machinery?

Oh.

"Motherwell v Rangers has been moved back a day to 16 October."

I assume Premier cant then schedule the League Cup game for Tuesday 18th

The suspense is killing me.

It's getting a bit much, I've got the feeling there's nothing to announce :(

The silence has become so deafening it's set my tinnitus off something rotten

I suppose the only good thing is (if that is indeed the case) that no-one else got him either, and we can all fall back on the "he had chocolate knees anyway" "would only have warmed the physio's bench" and "don't tarnish the legacy" comments that all had validity a couple of weeks ago
