In my boredom I'm trying to think of the worst signing we could make that's entirely feasible. I landed on either Gogic or Drey Wright. Was speaking to my Livi supporting mate and he said there's talk of them being in for Wright so hopefully they take him so we don't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casagolda Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 Middlesbrough set to sanction exit with Scottish trio in pursuit Not much but it’s an actual rumour I suppose.

They have an Austrian training camp from 3rd July. They are likely to have got together the week before that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player who hasn't managed to reach double figures in appearances at any club he's been at, across six years of his playing career, leaves me feeling distinctly underwhelmed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I just had a peek at his stats on Wiki, and if they're accurate I think it'd be our annual punt/waste of a wage on a diddy forward that seems to be part of the clubs constitution, following in the footsteps of recent haddies like The Competition Winner, Seedorf, and Amaluzor. I'm calling agent fed bullshit on that article, unless it's actually the Bois that have shown an interest following his spell at Walton Casuals. A brief glimpse of his rather underwhelming stats to save others searching. (It's not happening anyway). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 High xWeird stats so looks attractive but this has the hallmarks of a Livingston signing. He's not played for us so unlikely to be joining St Mirren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does feel more like the kind of signing I would expect Robbo or Martindale to make right enough. As others have said, a quick look at that article and you can imagine that it's exactly the sort of signing we'd have been looking to make 3 or 4 years ago. Peak Robbo-ball. Being objective about it, including Spittal we currently have a squad of 22 contracted and looking at our main signings ie: the ones on more than 1 year or 6 months (Efford, Tierney, Johansen, Goss, Ojala, Slattery, Kelly, Van Veen, Woolery Shields) few - if any - match the sort of profile of a 24 (soon to be 25) with 31 games in their career. Even with the signing we have made, Spittal is 26 and a fairly established Premiership player with 328 games to his name. I've said it before in this thread but with the number of bodies we have in the squad at the moment it doesn't feel like we're in the position to take the sort of punts we would have previously when Robinson was at the club. I know that beyond the pitch installation it's kind of a period of down-time at the club just now and according to a tweet I saw the other day Alexander's been on a family holiday but something that we've generally done that IMO is quite useful is give a wee season review and outline plans going forward. Alexander did a video for the socials last May talking about recruitment plans and Burrows popped up on the MFC Podcast to discuss things as an overview - for people who were paying attention that sort of thing was useful for perspective and getting their heads round why we were starting LC games with a midfield of Robbie Crawford, Barry Maguire and Dean Cornelius along with a bench full of actual school children. It'd be quite interesting to hear something similar this summer to get an idea of what sort of direction the management/club is looking at. Who knows maybe @thisGRAEME can get Fowler to book Flow for a Terrace Patreon gig . Edited June 7, 2022 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks but I'm sure Stephen Robinson will be desperate to sign him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Looking at the players we've been linked with so far, spuriously or otherwise. I read the 2022/23 ins & outs discussion thread on Steelmen so you don't have to: 02/04 - Alfie May (contracted to Cheltenham) - https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/motherwell-join-transfer-race-23-26617915 13/04 - Tyler Magloire (signed 1 yr extension with Blackburn) - https://the72.co.uk/270190/motherwell-and-st-mirren-weighing-up-summer-swoop-for-blackburn-rovers-tyler-magloire/ 23/05 - Steven Davis (signed 1 yr extension with Rangers) - https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/steven-davis-offered-rangers-contract-27036644 27/05 - Blair Spittal (signed) - https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2022/05/27/blair-spittal-signs-on/ 07/06 - Toyosi Olusanya (contracted to Middlesboro) - https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/sources-middlesbrough-set-to-sanction-player-exit-with-scottish-trio-in-pursuit/ Any more for any more? Given that in 19/20 we had 6 in the door by 10th June it's fair to say it's a slower pace. Edited June 7, 2022 by capt_oats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bold Grant's off dahn sarf now. Pearly Kings and Queens, jellied eels innit me ol' china. Basically exactly like a Libertines song. His LinkedIn's been updated to 'Marketing Lead' at West Ham (which we knew anyway it just wasn't clear precisely when it was official). I don't know if there's any indication that the role we were advertising has been filled. But aye, Flow, if you're reading give Graeme a shout like?

Antiochas III Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 TBF many thought this would be a disaster signing, especially after another SPL (at the time) club thought he was too unfit for this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
