Everyone (on the internet) knows Mika is being recalled. There's many ITK folk on there. Club are shite-in' it to say. 

In the old Comms teams days we'd be announcing him leaving with an arrival post at the same time /not long after + some Alan Burrows reply guys comments before that saying 'When we've got anything to report we will. We've multiple irons in the fire'

It's very odd, you assume arsenal would only formally recall him when the next deal in place and his next club would presumably want him in for Saturday. While we may wish to combine it with good news, I imagine that wish is very much bottom of the pile in the grand scheme of things.

Looking forward to the double dunter of Mika being recalled and Halliday being announced.

Although, having said that I noticed Scott Burns updating a reply guy about Halliday so maybe it’s not so much of a given we’re signing him.

And there it is...presumably from Kettlewell's presser.

Here was me thinking that fucking video was going to be the worst Motherwell related news in January.

Knew it was coming, but a definite punch in the baws

[well fan for life]

This fucking season, man. 

[Neil86]

Maybe with the success of Mika Arsenal have another youngster they want to give us for 6 months.

[MurrayWell]

Traitorous p***ks.

Sigh. 
 

This is possibly now up there with one of the worst windows we have had and also the squad looks like one of the worst squads we have had in years. 
 

Essentially 3 starters, and a first 15 player have left the club and been replaced by a position we already have a player in. 
 

We need that wee team graphic up to show our options but f**k me it looks grim.

A forward line of Bair, Obika and Shaw will not stop us from getting relegated.  Bair is too me only semi decent option in that line up. Obika and Shaw are coo’s.

A lot of goal scoring responsibility to now go on Spittal who is has been misfiring in front of goal this season. He needs to step up.

Nick Daws better be cooking something up here otherwise we are fucked.

Our normal script in the seasons where we've been struggling before Xmas (and there have been *a lot* of those in the last 40-odd top flight years) is that we strengthen at the turn of the year and do what needs to be done in the second half of the season. I think because of this, we all tend to assume that we'll be stronger after January - but with the outgoings and Slattery injury, there is a real possibility or even a strong likelihood that we'll actually be weaker than we were during the epic winless run. Which is a slight concern.

Not going to lose my shit at this stage. Still plenty time to get more bodies in. Saturdays lineup does look problematic though. SK hasnt caught a break all season.

[Allroy for Prez]

Without exaggerating, we are absolute toast now.

Our already piss poor paper thin squad has now lost its jewel in the crown. 
 

Honestly, just relegate us now and be done with it.

Glad you're not exaggerating.

I know he is not everyone’s favourite player but what’s happening with Ross Tierney. Can we recall him to at least give us another attacking option? 

[Marinello]

Could be regretting parting ways with Wilkinson.

[Archie McSquackle]

If Wilkinson is the answer, I'm not sure what the question is.

There has to be someone out there we can get in at least on a par.
