It recognises those who have either the foresight or an inside scoop. If a player is nominated and they sign for the club then that person will receive 5 points in the inaugural Jim Gannon Memorial Trophy. 2 points if they are mentioned in conjunction with us and decide to go elsewhere, -1 for erroneous nonsense. Open to other suggestions for scoring.

LadywellToi 2 Report post Posted May 4, 2011 A fear there has to be a bit of substance to them being added other than being ex-players. However if you've read or heard anything I'll add them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David 785 Report post Posted May 4, 2011 Do we really need a periodically updated list of who plays for Motherwell? I quite like the idea of being able to see who we've signed, although I wouldn't bother with the rumours section. We'll be linked to shitloads of players between now & August, and I probably won't pay attention to 99% of the rumours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 4, 2011 Fuck knows, but he's out of contract so someone will say it. Heard the Hughes thing a couple of times as well. I'd take him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maplewell 29 Report post Posted May 4, 2011 Aye, I don't mind talking about them. I'm talking about the section in the first post that lists players we're rumoured to be going for.

Cakes 143 Report post Posted May 4, 2011 I quite like the idea of being able to see who we've signed, although I wouldn't bother with the rumours section. Strikes me as a bit pointless. If someone signs, they usually get a thread to themselves anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mfc 420 Report post Posted May 4, 2011 McAllister(?) from Brechin has already been touted and some fella, Grella, from Leeds i did hear us aberdeen and st johnstone were looking at mcallister but hes meant to have quite a well paid job as well as playing for brechin so it would maybe take something like a 3 year deal to make it worth his while.i dont know if he would cope in the spl so i think a long term deal would be a bit risky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finlay 166 Report post Posted May 4, 2011 I have heard a rumour from a few different people well and rangers fans that mr mccall is heading to ibrox in the summer to be part of mccoists coaching team I doubt it but I'm sure the Club wouldn't be raging at the compensation that would be required. Rangers are currently rooked. No way they will shell out cash for a number two or three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was told by a few Celtic-supporting mates that this rumour was invented as a cheapshot at us after Rangers beat us 5-0 last week. Maybe it's made it's way onto the various Celtic forums and grown from there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
