Matty-RCFC Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 At least give the guy a chance before writing him off. He’s obviously not going to be our first choice striker because we’ve got one of the leagues form strikers at the minute so he’s going to be a plan B option to bring off the bench with 30 mins to go. Maybe when we’re chasing a game give us someone to hit or when we’re seeing a game out give us an out ball. We’ve signed worse than this but cause he played for Caley (and always caused us trouble when he did) he’s getting written off. But the boys got no chance when he’s being slated before he’s even signed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes it an even worse signing as according to his dad, he has never scored a goal before when he came off the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty-RCFC Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Highly doubt it was £50,000. Both teams described it as a significant undisclosed fee and majority of outlets reported first offer was a six-figure sum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Championship he scored 35 goals in 144 games (on average a goal just over every four games).

I was just being cynical that the club didn’t play softball again. I’d be very surprised if it wasn’t closer to £100,000 than £500,000. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 How many players have been good at one club but struggled at others? Does that mean no one should give them a chance? Just give the guy a break. He is our player now so lets back him and the rest of the team in what is going to see us play some very challenging fixtures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can be disappointed that someone has signed but still back them and hope they do well, don't think any of us are saying we want him to fail. We've had a pretty poor window up to now and signing players with sketchy at best records elsewhere is worth criticising but again it doesn't mean that I hope that White or anyone else has a howler. I'm not going to pretend to be happy that we've signed someone that can't get a game for a Motherwell side that was near the bottom of the league (until they beat us) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For context, only 8 players have played for Hearts and Hibs in the same period. That's a great stat. Also love that you have a database on that thing. 23 hours ago, Comrie said: That was my tweet- had his dad and his missus (I think) post on it.

On this thing. His missus was certainly on one the other day replying to a lot of Motherwell tweets. They all seemed to vanish though...

That was a rough calculation off Wikipedia! I'm sure his family mean but some of the tweets arguing with fans are absolutely cringeworthy. The Polworth family used to be particularly bad for it actually but they seem to have taken a step back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those 16, 7 were in the league and two were against Ayr in the away play off. He scored a hat-trick against Edinburgh City and another against East Kilbride. He scored six in the league last season (granted a shorter season) and scored 10 in 37 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Scott Burns has whiffed on County a bit lately, he’s usually accurate. Not sure what to make of the reported £300,000 fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 £300,000 (minus whatever the Glasgow Saints are probably due) is an exceptional piece of business for a striker who is out of contract at the end of the season, and has only got 9 topflight goals to his name. I like Stewart but County are doing well to get anything for him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the combined fees for Reid and Stewart add up to about £500K, then that goes a long way to replacing the lost income every match day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
