Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

Craig Tanner is done, Motherwell offered him a short term deal as they are too nice and he would have been gone come Christmas. He's decided to try his luck just now. He's effectively freed up 3 months wages. What a nice guy. Good luck to him.

I've got no problem with Tanner leaving as I honestly doubt he would have been back at his (near mythical) best. I am genuinely amazed that anyone else has offered him a contract in his current situation (unless it's Dundee).

I have one question only about this: can he fucking defend?

At first team level? Who knows.

His most notable recent outing was when he came on as an early sub against Celtic last season and was promptly subbed back off as he was fucking knackered. People that watched him in our '20s always spoke pretty highly of him though...

Absolutely no problem with Tanner kb'ing the offer and fully wish him the best going forward.

At the last presser Robinson gave he was saying that (unsurprisingly) Tanner would be miles off our first team and we'd consider loaning him out if he signed the short term deal. I'd guess (hope) that the contract that was on the table would have been reflective of that ie: it wouldn't have been much.

If he's managed to get a better offer then absolutely fair fucks to him.

In other news, there's yer Mark O'Hara signed.

It'd depend on who else comes in tbh. If O'Hara's the only body in then it's just fucking weird, if it turns out that it's an "opportunity" thing that we hadn't anticipated coming up in addition to someone else then fair fucks.

The fact that we were apparently in for him when he was at Dundee suggests at the very least Robinson's a fan.

How is it weird? We don't have a lot of central midfield cover. Beyond our 3 starters we have Semple, Maguire, Sloth. Semple is only really an attacking mid, Maguire is a defensive player and not really a midfielder. Sloth has been MIA.
