Not his finest moment. Not his finest, but the only one he had. I see we're doing magnanimous "Thank you David" patter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I would say is that they could do worse than using some of the money to get Campbell tied up longer term given his deal expires in 2021. Same with Gallagher and maybe Polworth. Yeah definitely agree with the idea of using it to extend Gallagher and Campbell's deals. However, I imagine both of their agents will be advising them against signing new deals so they can walk away for free next summer (compensation in Campbell's case). I wonder if we were waiting on this going through before offering O'Donnell a deal longer than the transfer window. In terms of bringing new bodies in, I still think the squad needs to be streamlined before we add anyone new. I don't care how much money we have in the bank, the Baraclough approach of constantly signing more players in hope of finding a good one doesn't work. Robinson will be stuck tonight when it's three subs from seven. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how much money we have in the bank, the Baraclough approach of constantly signing more players in hope of finding a good one doesn't work. Fully agree with that. It's why I had mentioned the situation with the Reserves yesterday. As I think it'll be interesting to see how many we actually manage to get out on loan. Now that Turnbull's away the first team is sitting at 29 bodies. There are half a dozen that you'd say fall into the "young" player bracket who would probably benefit from being loaned out - so that brings us down to 23 which is still as close to being maxed out (albeit with 5 long term injuries - Fox, Carroll, McGinley Dunne and Donnelly). Taking Robinson and MacIver out of the equation we've 7 players for the 3 forward positions - of which Hylton, Seedorf, Watt and Long are 1 year deals while Lang and Hastie are loans - Hastie's loan has a break in January as well. The one thing I would say is that having a lump sum of cash in the bank (potentially more if Kipré moves) means that we're probably a bit more flexible in terms of getting a body or two in if necessary and actively looking to streamline down the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Day Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 "It is obviously sore to lose a player of his quality," said manager Stephen Robinson. "But that is the model at Motherwell. We develop players to go on to a higher level and he is another success story." Fairly sure Motherwell FC are still competing in European football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Well Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Thinking there may be a pitch inspection at Fir Park. The amount of rain that's hit the stadium in last few hours has been ridiculous. I am hearing the water is now starting to enter the tunnel (again..!!) and the pitch just can't drain the water away fast enough despite the fantastic work of the poor sods who are volunteering to be extra groundsmen tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_MFC Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Aye the rain in Motherwell only really got up in the last hour but having just driven to Glasgow if what has been on the roads - 74 is basically a river - is heading for Motherwell then it may be in trouble 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonwell Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) West Brom and Blackburn in for Kipre apparently, was ready to come on heavy handed with the cash money gifs but reported as only a £900k deal! They’ll barely even make a profit from that. If those figures are correct maybe that’s why the waving of the sell on fee in exchange for Lang was being talked about.
