Cloontang Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 25 minutes ago, capt_oats said: When Penney's situation was up in the air last week Hammell said they were looking at alternatives as well as speaking to Ipswich so to take him at face value - we'd be looking at a left back minimum. Reading the notes from the AGM it was interesting to see that both us and Ipswich Town had agreed on a one year loan deal for Penney but the player was insistent on it being six months. Obviously he wouldn't be the first player to do so but you wonder if his intentions was to try and get on the shop window. I'm assuming when Danzaki gets confirmed, Shields loan will follow suit. Hopefully we can source a quality replacement for Maguire and dependent on outgoings I wouldn't be surprised to see another centre back come in. Apparently Efford will be back in training around the middle of February, Mugabi sometime in March and McGinley/Carroll will likely not be seen again this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Well, with the Rangers home game moved to a Sunday (18th March) our next home league game on Saturday won't be until April 8th. Of course, this doesn't assume that we get through and get a home tie in the Scottish Cup Quater finals.

YassinMoutaouakil Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Centre back is definitely an issue but it sort of feels like something that can hopefully be solved by a combination of Blaney being decent, Hammell having a look at what we're doing in training and, importantly, Lamie and/or Sol stopping being fucking morons on a weekly basis. Centre mid and Left Back, on the other hand, I just don't think we have the personnel at all right now without going into the market.

That and the chat that he has been speaking to the Charlton manager for weeks whilst still at the club. More I’m hearing, less I’m liking him tbh. Said earlier I think he has been rotten since returning from the WC. Mind has clearly been elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Aye that centre mid berth needs filled pronto. We probably haven't had anyone properly in there since Carl McHugh's spell or Ally Gorrín fly kicking folk while on a booking. We've had Maguire, Crawford & Donnelly for the last couple of years which has been about as you'd expect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Hammell talking about Danzaki and recruitment. I wonder who those "familiar faces and coaches" we went to for character reference were. Tough one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapowzer Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Danzaki, a mean b*****d 6, accomplished left wingback and a composed centre half all announced tomorrow. And I want to know if they like their empire biscuits with cherries or jelly tots. She wore, she wore a dayglo and black coloured ribbon in the Merry month of June. Intae this pish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnderooMFC Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 So Maguire away to Dundee and they're looking to take Shields too... are they trying to be the next St Mirren?? How long until they find out it's the wrong version of Motherwell they're emulating? And can we gift them Morris before they realise? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loan two and ease the early release of Jordan McGhee, who we return for on a pre-contract, could be the move. Didn't work with Crawford and Rudden last year of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloontang Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Nice to wake up to that signing being confirmed. Thought it would drag on to Monday tbh in regards to the clearance/work permit stuff. I was reading an interview by Hammell last night and he mentioned we had to pay a nominal fee to break the already agreed signing clause in the contract between his parent club and Brisbane. Looking forward to see what he can do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloontang Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Probably should have read the article first, still waiting on the international clearance, I guess we will know if that has come through if he's in the squad when announced at 13.45. I love how they translated the article into Japanese, expecting the massive fanfare that follows 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) I guess with Danzaki confirmed that frees Shields up to confirm any loan move. I see the news story on the official has him as a 'forward' rather than a midfielder. Here's the contract situation: 2023: O'Donnell (30), Carroll (31), McGinn (32), Johnston (19), Cornelius (21), Goss (27), Efford (26), Mandron (28) 2024: Kelly (27), Oxborough (24), Lamie (29), Mugabi (27), Johansen (27), McGinley (26), Maguire (24), Spittal (27), Slattery (23), Van Veen (31), Morris (31), Shields (25) 2025: Blaney (24), Danzaki (22), Tierney (21), Miller (16) Loans expiring 2023: McKinstry (20) (Leeds United - 2023), Crankshaw (24) (Stockport County - 2024) Edited January 28, 2023 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
