That'll be our Goss replacement then...

I tried Googling him and autocorrect changed his name to Davie so this is what I'll be referring to him as from now on.

Having a swatch at Wee Davo's IG and going by the comments on his farewell post he seems well liked by the Limassol fans.

According to Transfermarkt he made 161 appearances for them so that's nice.

I cannot see what can possibly go wrong with signing someone with "born to win" tattooed on their throat, to be honest.

About time we had player's with that mentality in the team.

Finally got round to buying the home game cup tickets last night. Took longer than I care to admit to realise that I couldn't book our season ticket seats because they were already in my profile under "reserved"...

Getting some Alex Gorrin vibes from this chap. Hopefully is just as good.

Caveat with highlights videos etc but I like the look of him - Ally Gorrin and, dare I say it, Al Campbell vibes ripping oot the lad. Either way defintley a type of player we don't have in there.

I mean that really doesn't look great does it. 

Seems the East Stand is getting further away from the pitch. Also it was probably the least restrictive view, now seems if your near the front looking up either side will be impeded somewhat?

Interested to know what the view is like with those railings in place. I'm down the front of the Hunter and it was already a worse view last season with the pitch changes. Maybe the photo angle is exaggerating the size of it. 

Surely they wouldn't deliberately build something that restricts people's views?

Going by the limited highlights we've got I definitely see the Gorrin (and Campbell) comparisons. Hopefully it won't take him 6 months to be good like Ally Gorrin.

I noticed this bit of discourse on Motherwell Twitter last night and it kind of takes us back to the discussion on here around the time that The Terrace boys had Goss in their Top 10 Defensive Midfielders list:

@RandomGuy. did a radar for Goss on this thread a while back, it'd be interesting to see how Zdravkovsi compares - that YouTube clip I posted is basically 5 mins of him recovering balls and pinging passes (and I'm here for it).

Probably makes him average/above average as a deep midfielder (bottom half of chart), and replacing him in possession looks like it could be the hard bit as hes an outlier there.

I suppose one of the knock ons of this is that it raises the question of where Barry Maguire fits in terms of game time as we've got Spittal/Tierney for the attacking midfielder spot, Zdravkovsi/Miller for the Goss role and Slattery/Paton as the options for the #8. Maguire's role would seem to be a general auxiliary option to cover various positions which is fine but doesn't give the impression he's going to be starting every week (if that's what he wants).

Those railings are bizarre. I genuinely cannot see how given the pictures that it won’t affect the view of those sitting near them and along the front rows. I mean surely the club would have ensure this would have minimal impact if any on the view of the pitch. Surely……it is Motherwell of course 🤷‍♂️. I can see it kicking off after the game today. 

As to the Q around Barry Maguire. Sadly he is not good enough for the top flight. A dependable player at championship level or league one. I would expect he is one of the players who would have been told they will get limited if any game time. Up to him if he wants to stay or push on and prove he can play at this level.
