Stevie Kirk for almost singlehandedly winning us the Scottish Cup A day never to forget !

That amount didn't even cover the cost of his da's club car back in the day.

Lots to comment on, both good and not so good, from last night, but I think Dylan Williams looks a real find. His versatility will be a big asset, and he slotted into the left attacking midfield role effortlessly. It’s already pretty clear that he, along with a few others, will do well in our 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3.

second leg next Thursday being shown on Premier Sports i see - from 6pm

These “new” seats in the main stand are utterly ridiculous. My knees are bruised. Surely, we need to replace them?

Aye you can. Just head down and see them

Hahahaha. Absolutely not. £40-50k max.

Wonder if Yan Dhanda is on our radar? Always thought he was a creative player.

Sorry for the new topic, but does anyone know if you can move your season ticket seat to another avaliable seat number? I have already purchased my season ticket for this year but want to move seats to closer to my family. I have tried to call Fir Park all day and no answer.

Yeah, no objection to bringing in experienced heads, but if we're splashing the cash, hopefully it's on someone who has more experience of top level football than Spencer.

That’s very much our type of player - think he’d be a decent signing

Just asked a Falkirk supporting mate about Spencer. Described him as a "quarterback" type with good range of passing. Reckons transfer fee of £400-500k. Sounds like a ready made Watt replacement with well over £1m profit on the 2 deals. I think Id be pretty ok with that.

My favourite kind of shot. Hardly any rotation on the ball, and side netting. Not a bad start to his Motherwell career.

Love the celebrations and even Paulsen getting involved, group of guys just getting to know each other. It's a new era and new faces so fingers crossed. Alfred also comes across as very likeable character. Massive job for him and a very hard act to follow so needs time. Already last night you can see tweaks, the number of crosses definitely refreshing

I don't know about Brad Spencer, but I'm OK with signing an experienced midfielder. Not everyone will have resale value, but when you're oldest starting player is 25, it's a sign that a more experienced head or two wouldn't be a bad thing.

Rumour last night that Alex Lowry about to sign.

A big striker I agree with, and I think Thor could be that guy if he can stay fit and is given a chance to show us what he has. On the keeper and defender? Not for me. We don't play in a way that requires those traits. Especially when it comes to the keeper. I think Paulsen is the new number 1, with Connelly as back up.

Oh no your not advocating us returning to the Scottish Fitba rule book of big, strong, honest laddies rather than silky , passing, skilful football I hope.

Brad Spencer would be a strange one. Signed a new 2 year (+1 option) contract last year, and at 30, not much in the way of potential resale value.

Oh Betty

For me Greatest Ever Signing isnt about financial recompense. Its who had the greatest impact at your club. For all the reasons listed above it has to be Davy Cooper. Quite simply, without him, we dont win the 91 Scottish Cup and dont have the 2 nearly title winning teams (allow me licence) of my generation. Some of the older guys might point to other players outwith my memory base and guys like Graham, Wark, Marinello, Davidson etc will always have a special place in my heart, but Cooper is still the best Ive ever seen in Claret & Amber.

On last nights evidence I dont think we are too far away from a pretty decent squad once everyone is back fit (that in itself being a defining factor in respect of how many players we ACTUALLY need). Keeper wise, I dint see us doing any more business. What we have is what we will stick with. Defence wise I think we are complete. Johnny K, SOD, Sparrow are our RBs. Once SOD McGinn and McGhee are back we have plenty CB cover so dont expect any business there. Longelo, Williams and Wilson are or LBs. We could do with an extra sitting midfielder to cover for Oscar & Lucas if one of them is injured or suspended. 2 creative midfielder types to replace Slattery & Just. One out and out goalscorer Possibly another winger for the left side. So 4/5 still incoming. After that we can decide who needs to go out on loan. Thought Booth looked decent last night but Id like to see how he fares against better opposition. Luca Ross is still young, but thought he was bullied physically by their LB last night when he came on, so jury still out on him. Didnt see enough of the other academy players to form an opinion.

I thought Mikey Booth showed up pretty well last night. Looked like a young player that thought he deserved to be there. Was always dropping into space to show for the ball and was demanding it from more senior players. Some good touches and generally looked like the kind of player that will fit our system.
