Nah jokes aside mate who’s pals with someone on like the marketing team or something told him so I’m inclined to believe it, rarely ever wrong with his stuff. Hopefully sacked tomorrow morning for leaking sensitive information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robinson did say that any further signing would have to be someone who will offer something different and go straight into the first team... After tonight’s performance Scott would benefit from 6 month loan in the championship Still rough diamond that needs a bit of polish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying he did IMO 6 months in championship would be beneficial to both Scott and the team In the games to gate against lower half championship teams an a 1st division team he just about got pass marks Do you really think he’s ready to go head to head with Aberdeen Hearts Hibs Killie and the old firm ???

Ironically Johnson is the only one that could argue he is ready having taken a few off Rangers last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supermarv 110 Report post Posted July 24, 2019 Hartley also not surprisingly is our highest earner... tried to see if there were any takers for him but none so far, however I don’t think we are actively looking to pass him on now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like Hartley, but he looks a bit of a bomb scare at times defensively. He gifted Dumbarton 2 decent chances last night with slack play. As my mate commented, it had shades of McManus at Edinburgh City a few years back. He’s probably better suited to no nonsense backs to the wall defending than no pressure playing out from the back though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mintymac 60 Report post Posted July 24, 2019 Nothing to go on but I’ve got a feeling we could see Kyle Lafferty at fir park . We’re looking for a striker who could go straight into the team and Robinson connection with NI and Rangers prepared to let him go . Also Gerrard saying something may happen with him re transfer today or tomorrow . Anybody reckon it’s a possibility Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course everyone is desperate to see our young players in the first team, but we do need to be patient with Scott in my view and not just keep playing him because he’s that “ Young Motherwell player”. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grizzlyg 304 Report post Posted July 24, 2019 I would take Lafferty but he would need to take helluva pay cut. He knows Robinson from NI connection and when Robbo was involved with national team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He knows Robinson from NI connection and when Robbo was involved with national team If he is released from Rangers then he is earning £0 - anything is a wage rise. Also factor in that he has hardly kicked a ball in about a year and I can’t see a huge amount of clubs swooping in to get him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weeyin 3,379 Report post Posted July 24, 2019 He doesn't really fall under the "someone we can improve and sell on" category. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No but he would fall into the big target man with a proven goal scoring record category. We seem to have plenty pace down each side with Seedorf , ilic and hylton, so somebody to aim at in the middle might just be what we need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He might be a decent target man, but not prolific scorer in our league. I'm hoping we are bringing in another player under the radar that is more of a 15 goals a season kind of striker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supermarv 110 Report post Posted July 25, 2019 The striker we are bringing in (don’t know any names) is the budget being spent completely on him. There may be some more available money near the end of the window if we nerds must but I’m fearing it could be Lafferty. I hope it’s not tbh always played decent against us but doesn’t actually score that many goals and is always hot and cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was shit hot for NI for a long time, out of favour at servco , not played for a while , good rlelationship with the manager ,vast experiance compared to Scott ,and our team seems to be playing with fast wingers should suit him. . He is just the man to take a chance on until Scott gets a good few more games under his belt and may learn somethings from him as well . Nae chance of selling him on tho so thats the model fecked as far as he would be concerned. Doubt we could get him anyway. Would be kind of pleased if we did tho.

I also fear that it could be Josh Magennis aswell, and I don’t think that would be a great signing and I think others share the same opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
