Joeboy Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Gallacher has already signed for Ross County. Andy Dowie and Jordan McMillan have signed for Partick Thistle. Cardle was made redundant and hasn't signed for anyone, of what I have seen he might do a decent job for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Might be ghoulish or simply insensitive, but time waits for no man and all that, who from the Dunfermline players would be worth a contract at the 'Ark? Just noticed that Gallacher gas been freed and with Randy probably offski I think he could be worth a shout, even just as back up to Hollis Well, thinking back to when we were in administration there were teams who were publicly offering support and wishing us well, whilst at the very same time seeking to capitalise on the situation with chance-your-arm offers for our players. I'm sure there will be "vultures" ready to swoop for Pars players too. Having said that I doubt we would be keen on paying even a reduced fee, even if we are interested in of their retained players though so I don't see us being actively involved on that front. A player whose contracted has been terminated though? That's a different matter and I suppose they would be fair game should McCall have any interest in any of them. That I suppose though brings you back to the contract situation with the existing out of contract players though. What's the budget for next season? Who's staying? Who's going? At what, if any, point do McCall and Dempster say "thanks for efforts, see you" if players are humming and hawing and begin to look elsewhere?

Lobey_Dosser Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hope all the Masterton victims get sorted with a club but none of them are anywhere near good enough for Motherwell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Well, thinking back to when we were in administration there were teams who were publicly offering support and wishing us well, whilst at the very same time seeking to capitalise on the situation with chance-your-arm offers for our players. Interesting that, at this time of year when most clubs are tightening their belts, clubs like Partick and Ross County have spare cash to throw around. Yes, during our dark days of administration, there were some clubs who displayed double standards, but Stuart Elliott did end up on Humberside and not on Tayside making us an extra £210,000 in the process.

johnstone Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Dunfermiline players at Motherwell! They wouldn't even get on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollis has hardly played any spl games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Cardle was made redundant and hasn't signed for anyone, of what I have seen he might do a decent job for us. If by 'doing a job', you mean 'being worse than all the options we have', then yeah, he could do a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-in-Oz Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 According to McCall some of our out of contract players have told him they will be leaving which is fair enough but i just hope the remaining ones either sign or do the decent thing & sate they will be leaving. Really don't want another Jennings situation where he keeps the club hanging while he waits to see what else is on offer. Here's what we can give you either take or leave it no messing the club around coz if they are leaving replacements have to be found.

Joeboy Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 If by 'doing a job', you mean 'being worse than all the options we have', then yeah, he could do a job. Exactly. By "do a job" I meant thinking of next season when we may not have McFadden, Humphrey, Higginbotham or even Law to play in wide positions and we don't have sufficient budget to replace them with players of the same calibre. He did net 8 times last season in the SPL from midfield for a very poor side, although I do see he has only scored three times this season.

MelvinBragg Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Haven't seen it yet, but apparently this morning's Sun has Derby joining Rangers (naturally) in being after Chris Humphrey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsMFC Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 DERBY are the latest side weighing up a summer swoop for Rangers target Chris Humphrey. The winger is one of several first team stars at Motherwell out of contract this summer and has still to receive an offer to stay at Fir Park. Gers boss Ally McCoist is keen on the England-born Jamaica international — but a string of clubs down south have also been alerted. Rams boss Nigel Clough took Craig Bryson from Kilmarnock two seasons ago and has kept his eye on the game up here. Doesn't seem like there's much substance in those 4 lines! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si91 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 How does this work then, Gers can't sign anyone until 1st Sept & most contracts end at the end of May, so are players expected to sit around for 3 months just cos the, once, mighty Gers have come calling all players are going to get wet & hang about for them! I really hate the fact that the media still think all players want to play for either half of the Old Firm & if they're out of contract that's where they'll end up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 They'll sign a pre-contract agreement and then train with them over the summer before signing on 1st Sept. Not sure they can pay expenses over the summer but I'm sure most players could survive 3 months if they know they'll get a nice fat signing on fee to make up for it.

Sevco will have no shortage of players willing to sign fup for next season, as Sandaza says... it's all about the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one m in motherwell Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Just got to hope our guys have a little bit more ambition than that. To be honest Hateley is the only one I can see at Ibrox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
