AlmostFrazzled

Aye I read the Bulgaria story somewhere as well. I think it was CSKA Sofia? You've got to assume the chance for exposure to a decent move down south is better with Motherwell since we get a reasonable amount of televised games as well as it being close enough for him to not be a million miles from family.

Heard they also met with Alan McCormack on Brandon Parade first thing this morning...

There was one point on Saturday in the first half where we countered. McDonald had the ball and Chalmers was going full tilt up the left. Genuinely looked like he was pulling a caravan through treacle while wearing concrete boots.

Hopefully not.

If we don't line up with someone to run at Lenny Sowah I'll be raging. The guy makes Tony Straker look like Paolo Maldini.

I didn't say he was terrible. He just wasn't that good. He scored on the opening day, then was totally ineffective until probably late-February into March when McDonald turned up and basically talked him into being a striker. There's potential there somewhere, I'd just worry that he's too much of a fanny to do anything with it while Leeds pay him some astronomical fee. £450k for a guy who had about a quarter of a good season? Great business.

Erwin wasn't that good. Next rumour, please.

That's what I'm hoping as well. Unless it's daft money I think his goals/work rate is of more value than him going for a few hundred thousand.

So in the next week we just need to sign a keeper, a left back, a left winger, a right winger and possibly a striker if Moult goes? Easy days.

Absolutely. Erwin was only ever an effective striker once McDonald and him clicked. I'm not really bothered about Erwin tbh. We got $450,000 for a guy who played about 1/3 of a good season.

Can we take this Mark Reynolds chat and put it straight into the bin please? The guy has looked shaky at Aberdeen for a while now. The game at Fir Park near the end of last season was a complete shit show for him. I genuinely don't think he's improved as a player since he left. The things he does wrong consistently now, are the same things he done wrong then.

In a footballing sense, the best thing he could have done after that season was sign a 2 year deal with us. He was a stick on to be the guy leading the line every week for us. Play a good season and move on at the end of that. But, obviously, money talks.

Think his heid was in the clouds before he started playing for us tbh.

£450,000 for a guy who, really, only had about 1/3 of a good season once him and McDonald clicked? Great business. There's no question he's got potential to be a good player, but I reckon he's too much of a balloon to realise it.

To be fair, him being shit is the theory I am behind. Surely you'd think if he's fit and ready to play he'd at least have made the bench when you consider the weans who've been involved in the matchday squads recently.

Legit question. We signed Luka Belic in the transfer window who allegedly can play out wide, but nobody has seen head nor tail of him. What's the actual script there?

You can literally park on any of the residential streets that are 5 minutes walk from the stadium for free?

Regardless of his standing with the support, that winner at Easter Road was wild. Limbs everywhere.

The greatest loan signing of all time.

McGhee seems to have said he's physically been signed off as fit by the doctors, it's in his head that the issue is. The new Wes Fletcher?

Think he was still playing Conference football during the 2011 Scottish Cup Final.

It's not the worst article. I'm not particularly arsed tbh. If the £650k + add ons is to be believed that's a good deal for a guy who goes hiding in big games.

http://m.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/14715582.Oxford_United_beat_transfer_deadline_to_sign_top_target_Marvin_Johnson/ Think this is the article that's left everyone's nose out of joint.

Aye ok, m8. Marvin said “It has been hard because Motherwell fans have been great with me but I’m very pleased to be joining a club like Oxford which is obviously on the up and ambitious. The Manager has a great reputation for working with players and helping them develop their game and I can’t wait to join training and be involved.”
