Seemingly played 20 minutes for Charlton at the start of the season before his move to Belgium

Played 20 mins for Charlton against Bristol Rovers on the opening day and 67 mins against Exeter in the EFL Cup.

That's unfortunate - not that I'm saying we should have signed him; only that if Robinson is still looking for an extra striker, someone like that might be worth a punt.

 

In theory, you can play for a 3rd club if 2 of the teams you play for have "overlapping seasons", but that counts for things like the MLS I presume, and not our early start in the League Cup.

Tony Watt available as a free agent and heading back to Scotland.

 

honestly thought you were at the wind up , but follow up posts makes me think you were serious?

 

Watt was unable to breakthrough at a Belgian 2nd tier team led by a 31 year old Spanish striker named Esteban .........yip that one

You must have missed my "not that I'm saying we should have signed him" quote.

 

It was more a case of wondering if we are still in the market for a free agent striker.

It's got him down as scoring 2 goals for us. Did he score for us?

 

I don't mind him scoring, think there was a belter shown on the old MFC TV from a reserve/bounce game at FP

 

One assist?

 

I do mind him being credited with an assist, nae recolection of who or what it was against/like.

Aye, he pinged one in from the half way line straight from kick off past either Randolph or Ruddy, cant remember which.

One of his earliest games with us springs to mind. A Sunday game at Killie where if I remember rightly he headed back across goal for Blackman to score.

Hartley out for 2 months minimum

Motherwell: Peter Hartley out for two

months with foot injury

 

3 hours ago From the sectionMotherwell

 

Motherwell defender Peter Hartley

 

Motherwell defender Peter Hartley has made 17 appearances, scoring three times, since joining from Blackpool

 

Motherwell centre-back Peter Hartley has been ruled out for two months with a foot injury.

 

The 29-year-old was assessed by a specialist after aggravating the injury before the winter break.

 

"Peter is not going to require surgery but he is going to be out for a minimum of two months," said Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson.

 

"It's a problem that he had with his foot, just innocuous, jogging along, and he felt something pop in his foot."

 

Hartley joined Motherwell on loan from Blackpool at the beginning of the season, then made the move permanent in January when he signed a contract until 2020.

Tom Aldred joined Motherwell on loan from Bury and has helped to fill in for the injured Hartley

The defender has not featured in Motherwell's past five matches, but Robinson is relieved that the injury is not as severe as the club thought initially.

 

"We have had him see a specialist," Robinson said.

 

"It wasn't as bad as possibly we first feared, but we will be lucky to get him back before the end of the season."

 

The Motherwell manager does not intend to sign a replacement defender, even though Ellis Plummer is out with a broken leg, since loanee Tom Aldred and academy graduate Barry Maguire have stepped into the breach.

 

Robinson may, though, look to add to his striking options if he can identify any suitable free agents.

 

"We're always looking, we have some potential targets that we are looking at this week," the Motherwell manager added.

 

"Ryan Bowman has been training all week so he could be involved on Saturday. George Newell has just been a bit stop-start, he has had a foot problem and then a hamstring problem.

 

"If I had both of them fully fit then probably not but we are still keeping our eyes and ears to the ground to see what's out there."

If anyone can get this guy back on track he would be a decent signing, another waste ....

Tony Watt was considered somewhat of an enigma by Charlton fans. He always looked overweight and seldom motivated but when he looked interested, he was a match winner (at league 1 at least).

 

Sadly, those moments were too far between and the club lost a lot of money on him by letting him go for free. Given the clubs mercenary owner, Watt really must have been the disruptive dressing room influence that the rumours had him as.

 

Long and short of it, totally not a Robinson type of signing.
