It seems like the very mild joke about St Mirren moving on from signing former Motherwell players to signing players Motherwell tried to sign was just a bit too nuanced.

McMenamin was a big scorer in Ireland, but managed only 1 for us You took issue with the 'free scoring' description in the tweet asking if you were missing something. You missed that it was a tweet from 2021. Either way, the guy has scored 15 in 54 starts for Blackpool, half of those at championship level half at league 1 and appears to have suffered an injury that has led to restricted minutes since. Much like Ayunga this season. I'm not sure what sort of market you think we should be operating in but we arent going to be getting a guy who has a proven record of scoring 25 a season... I'd say in the market we operate in, every player comes with an 'ah, but', attached. He has a scoring record better than Ayunga does at that level and pretty comparable to van Veen and Mandron at same level. He's exactly the level player we should, and usually do target.

I read the part posted on this thread which describes him as free-scoring - no more than that. I then googled him and that description playing for Blackpool didn't add up for me. I love you guys bringing up potential players, I was simply just saying at 1st glance his recent stats are not really great. Played 95 Goals 17 in 3 seasons. Yeah he may well have done far better previously, he may have had injuries, and SR may well get more out of him IF we sign him. However the article was touting him elsewhere. I was only giving my opinion. My apologies for causing such negative reactions and poor pasteing - which I was trying to fix.

Just for clarity, and maybe it's not displaying correctly for you, but this is the only part of the thread that refers to him as free scoring. @capt_oats posted it as a joke, referring to his prior links to Motherwell. Nobody was actually claiming he is free scoring. Capt_oats also has no military background that I'm aware of. I hope this helps.

Theres nothing linking us with him but he is 100% in the 'makes sense' category in terms of age, position, nationality, level and the fact that our management team (at least one, maybe both given Robinson'spreviousrole with NI) have worked with him before. I'd be pretty surprised if he's not on the long list of targets and I'd rather roll the dice and see him arrive than a 33 year old Simon Murray or Bruce Anderson.

Buttocks Brown Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Wasn't at the SMISA AGM but, reading the minutes, there was a lot of discussion about what to do with SMISA cash reserves (now at £420,000 and rising). An enviable position to be in.... There seems to be a bit of a push from the SMFC board to use some of it to help generate more money for the club rather than just having it sit there. Makes sense to be honest. Previously, £80,000 was loaned for hospitality rooms. No suggestions though as to what it could be used for. I've always liked the idea of safe standing; the club and the W7 guys have done a great job in getting more young people through the gate. Maybe that would be the next step. Will require a bit of creative thinking what to do with the money anyway. In other news, was confirmed that Hemming has been offered a contract. He's under contract with Middlesbrough so we must have agreed a fee. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
