I still find it hard to believe he plays with forest. Just doesn't look like a player

When Chris Cadden was co-commentating on an MFC TV stream he said he was sure Al kept a notebook with the names of players who took the ball off him, so he could kick them later.

If he ends up at St Mirren, the only thing he’ll be kicking is other players’ legs.

Allan Campbell linked with St Mirren. hope he can kickstart his career as he’s not kicked a ball since the end of last season.

Sorry Colin! No offence intended! 😆

I think that is a fair and balanced summary. As one who voted against the Barmack proposal (even though my first name is Colin!) I think the caution expressed in your comments is valid. No doubt we are currently in a much better and more stable position than we were when Barmack first raised his head. Partly due to the Miller monies but also down to the efforts of both Boards. The recent Society update highlighted various improvements that have taken place. You mention Finance, and apologies if I missed the info, but how does our contributing membership numbers and the Society's Bank Balance today compare to way back then? In short, what growth has taken place? Positive news in those areas can only help to reassure all those with MFC at heart.

Would be brilliant to get him on a contract, but he is bound to have suitors with deeper pockets than ours unfortunately. No harm in asking though!

If JBA is like any other manager, he'll have one or two targets identified for every position in case we need to replace anyone.

There is also a recall deadline (mid-Jan I think)

I’d Like to see Aberdeen get a draw or win at Ibrox this evening to keep rangers within a game of us. Pretty impressive to see us with the best defensive record after practically 2 rounds of fixtures. So fingers crossed we keep that going against Hibs.

I thought we had already agreed with Celtic that he was staying here till end of season? Once agreed (contracted?) can they change their mind? I assume it would depend on any written contract details? So maybe maybe not.

No rumours this week. JBA is too busy dodging calls from Flow instead of calling Daws.

If the right hypothetical 20% offer came along, I’m sure we’d all be willing to listen. The red lines on fan ownership are already drawn, and we’ve shown what can be achieved without extra investment.

Agree 100% that focusing on what we can do best as we are now is the correct decision but I also believe that we can find another Tony Bloom willing to invest similar to the deal Hearts have. Proving we are a solid reliable club is the first and hardest part which we’ve done. What I would say is that any deal should leave the society with a majority share holding and that if the society has to give up say 20% of their shares then the current private shareholders will have to give up 20% also rather than the society having to bear all the losses.

Lois Moult is returning oops - that’s even more tedious 😀 I’d be happy for a few loanees from engurland - but not more like osong

I don't care which school he went to.

We need some incoming player rumours, especially strikers to discuss, all this chat about managers going nowhere is getting tedious now.

I may be wrong, but I don't think Welsh is left footed. He plays there because someone has to, as we dont have any actual left sided CBs, and thats less of a need when you play with a back 4.

I'd be more concerned had we not horsed Celtic without him. He's a great player for us, but with the whole team having upped their game over the course of the season, I'm not sure he's quite as important now as he was a couple of months ago.

I heard that all levels at Well are playing same system as first team so just shows what JBA is implementing. I think a new contract with various terms would be great

Yup, good points. I do like Welsh though and I think he’s really suited to us. Be good to see him stay. i have to admit I’m quite excited by this transfer window. Can’t wait to see who we get a hold of. I keep checking every day expecting the usual guy in darkness teaser from the club. I wish they’d hurry up.

I agree about the investment. What we do need is some partnership/sponsorship - and we have seen some small steps forward in that regard e.g. the electronic advertising board along the length of the pitch. I'd even tolerate ads in the Well Society app if that helps generate a few quid.

I’m not really sure who’s going to invest in a fan-owned club like Motherwell. We’ve been over that before. The focus should be on Motherwell investing in itself, by putting money into players, staff and facilities, which is what we’re seeing now.

Not saying Im not concerned, as he has been fantastic. But Im sure Jens is well aware of the possibility and will have someone in mind should it be required. Also, he is left sided and its really right side Celtic are short. Scales, Trusty and Tierney can all play his side. Finally, SOD & McGinn have shown they can play there as well. Wouldnt be my choice long term, but if needs must?

I’m not too concerned with Jens leaving this season, I don’t think he will be going anywhere until the season end at earliest. my only concern for ins and outs just now is Welsh. It did look like he was staying with us but with ONeill going back to Celtic I have a suspicion he might want him. Oneill and Maloney came along and watched the Hibs game at Fir park and they must have been impressed by him as he was exceptional that night. Their fans don’t want him back…. I’m not convinced Welsh wants to go back ….but as much as ONeill is a bit of a loon he does know a player and he is still their player.
