Archie McSquackle Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 There is a difference in that Arfield has probably already made his money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Absolutely insane thing to say when my own team is heading into a relegation playoff decider at exactly the same time...but I'm so excited about Van Veen hopefully breaking this scoring record. Feel like I'll be refreshing my phone every minute in the hope that he does it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al B Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Only on the condition that he gets that fucking salute celebration fired into the sun. Agree to that, then we can talk. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Utd play their "defence", he's got every chance of getting the 11 in a row, the two he needs to get his 30 goal target and league top scorer on Sunday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Must admit I laughed when he announced his 30-goal target but you wouldn't bet against him now. You don wonder how up for it we'll be given the second half last night, how United will approach it blah blah blah. I always hate it when you can't see anything other than a comfortable Motherwell win, it usually means a raging balls-up is approaching at speed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 If Ciftci got his hat trick against Accies in the last game those years ago, I fully expect Van Veen to hit 35. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 If we're "recreating" Van Veen in the aggregate, we will need to find the mad Dutch component from somewhere.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Will Arfield not go back to Falkirk and gloriously lead them back to the Championship and who knows how much further. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how knackered he is physically... it's one thing returning to Motherwell when you're a bit past it, dropping into the total pub league before you absolutely have to can't have much appeal to guys who can still play. Not that I'm especially eager for us to sign him fwiw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like I'll be refreshing my phone every minute in the hope that he does it. If anything he scored too soon last night; the game was a totally dead rubber after that, 7th place be damned. Mind you, I’d take that on Sunday in preference to his 90+9 penalty the previous weekend. I’m genuinely expecting a perfect hat trick from him - chest, knee, and arse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 He hasn't done any of those scooped lobs that got The Thread© slevering over his highlights reel a couple of summers back (which directly led to him being signed obviously) - so one of those on Sunday please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapowzer Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 It was telling to me that despite cutting ties with 5 players he heaped praise on Arfield alone. Top Euro scorer and guy who has over what? 10 year service as their keeper. Maybe a coaching role would appeal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I would take Arfield. After a lovely three months of playing people in positions they are comfortable in, I'm not going to start advocating putting square pegs in round holes again, but I guess he could offer us a degree of flexibility were we to change formation, with him having played out wide before. Spittal has been a revalation since Kettlewell has come in though and I'm wondering if Arfield would be suited to one of the two deeper roles in a 3-5-2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this week he's joing record holder with Viduka? Is there 2 separate records going on? There were a lot of people talking shite, yes. 9 was not a record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwellhighland Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 A bit wild that Arfield is a decade older than Paton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowsdower Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I thought Davis and Snodgrass were great ideas at the time, and they ended up crocked and problematic. As such, I'm not for this Arfield one, also for his weird celebration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I'll absolutely be spamming the emoji relentlessly in threads after he puts us 1-0 up against St Johnstone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
