So OK for the camp comic to comment in a similar fashion and no rebuke for him. Nice one

Lets be honest he is brutal and is never going to get any game time going forward, nobody is going to make a bid for him, so it makes sense to cut your losses and agree a deal re his contract to release him and free up a wage, it should have been done at the end of last season.

In your opinion. Calm down pal.

What a fuckin snowflake. Why not take it how it was meant, as poking a little fun. If it bothers you that much ask me and I’ll stop. As for you @grizzlyg , thought you had a little bit more of a backbone who liked a little fun. Certainly a lot of wallopers in our support and we’ve uncovered at least 2 in this thread.

I highly doubt we'd let Stama go on a free we paid a big fee for our standards for him. If the bid we allegedly turned down for him last summer was real it was a really bad decision to have rejected it. Worse comes to worse he stays as a 3rd choice ST. We need to get Mikey Booth out on a co-op loan so his development doesn't stall as well but he'd still be available to us if we get injury problems same with Wilson and Ross to be honest

How do you know they were ST holders, they pay their money the same as you and as such are entitled to their own opinions, if its different from yours, so what. Calling somebody willie Wonka is disgraceful now, aye ok then. Disgraceful behaviour is setting off pyros and going on the pitch, when repeatedly being told not to, so wind your neck in.

Perhaps we agreed a once and for all pay off that totals less than what he would have earned under contract. Which in turn lets him head home free to sign on with anyone he can agree a deal with. Saves us money long term and gives him a chance to rebuild his career. I imagine he will be keen to get back playing rather than being paid to sit on his backside as his career stalls even more. Australian window open ahead of season start but in any event he can sign with anyone, anywhere as a free agent. Increases his options. Hence the timing? Win win? And common sense. If he is really away that is.

Willy has yet to convince me but I will wait till January or so to make any firm decision on him. He had his hands on his knees after 10 minutes as if he had run his race. However, twice he had the ball in the box trying to fashion a shot and big Thor tackled him both times. A wee goal might change everything for him.

I assume then, that we'll continue to pay his wages until his contract expires, unless he finds another club in Oz. Only difference now is that he'll be in Australia and not available for selection?

I think we have selection headaches now, which is good, Whyte would have to be better than Lennon Miller to get into the midfield ahead of Hodge,Fadinger,Priestman

Agreed...it will be like a mini preseason. With the opportunity for the manager to work with the squad properly as well as getting a bit of recuperation

Apologies I didnt notice the typo...he is signed with us until May 2027

Absolutely. Early days of course, but this defintely Alfred Johansson's team. Not JBA's. He's had a baptism of fire, with departures of top players; signing a squad of new ones; a long injury list; and a demanding Conference League schedule. Many fans, especially younger ones, felt that JBA was irreplaceable. He isn't, no-one is.

Win 3-0 with a quality display so we can have a moan about applauding the fans or not 🤣 The football equivelant of 1st world problems?

He definitely signed a new contract. The issue is had he stayed with us who would he replace in the team. How much gametime would he get?

Overrated! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

45% possession too. JBA's lost the plot.

Spittal captain against Hibs tonight

I'm usually not a fan of the break but it comes at the perfect time for us.

Whyte's a great prospect, but I trust the coaching staff if they think he'll progress more quickly if he goes out on loan.

I know it has been heavily rumoured recently but I'm a bit disappointed with the news on Olly White. Thought he has done well in his appearances so far and offered a more physical option in midfield I'm not sure we have a lot of. Hopefully the step up to Championship from League One will improve him and benefit us when he comes back to us.

Alfred is basically a slightly more cuddly, less scarey Jens (with hair). We are currently 3 points better off than we were this time last season. Even if we lose to Rangers we will still be 2 points better off after 5 games. All that with having totally replaced nearly the entire team. After the Rangers game we have a 10 day break. We then play Aberdeen and Dundee and go into the international break. I suspect that come October we will be starting to see the real Alfred Johansson Motherwell side. Im pretty excited about the prospect.

Olly must have a contract until at least May 2027 otherwise he would be someone elses player. Given he is going out on loan, I would hope it was a 2 year extension so we are protected. I can understand why he would be disappointed. With the game time.he got in the early games he would be thinking there was a pathway to the first team. Especially when Oscar got injured. Unfortunately the signing of Dylan Levitt has blocked that path. He is still a young man. Best thing he can do is knuckle down, give everything for Ayr and gain as much experience as he can until May. That way he should be able to demand a start next season.
