Made that as of before this season, as others said 6 months out of 10 years isn't enough. The only players I feel would make a slant on it from this season are Ruddy and Jutkiewicz. For the same reason I left Simo out.

<br />whit! spencer's contribution since the millenium: 6 goals and defrauding the club of a quarter of a million pounds.<br /><br />a total scumbag of the highest order.<br />

LMAO I knew that would get a reaction but he was still a good player for us and reckon he'd do well in the team I picked. Despite the goal return never being what you'd hope from someone earning so much he was a class act often made to look mediocre by the players around him not being on the same wave level. And can hardly blame him for taking the money that was offered, as for the court case and what not well I don't know the ins and outs but I suspect Nevin was largely to blame for fannying around and tossing money hand over fist.

Vadocz!!! Forgot about him. He could've went on to be some player for us.
Definitely. The big man was sheer class..

 

McGhee knocked back the chance to sign him at the start of his reign, although there were rumours that he was understandably hacked off with the Malpas-era anti-football. He went to Nimjegen for a season then got transferred to Osassuna for 9 million euros, where he is to this day. Don't think we've ever had that class of central midfielder in terms of ability or transfer value in recent memory. Only half a season or so, but good to hear ia few folk still remember him, and its no' just me being the Vadocz saddo yet again :lol:

the maverick genius of mcfadden alongside mcdonald. if mcdonald had decent service and support for motherwell he would have been outstanding - did well with what service and support he got

I'm very surprised that this is the first mention of Andy Goram! Loved watching Man U in Champs Lg, subs bench read Goram (Motherwell!!) Quality. (Unless I'm totally mistaken, but as far as I remember he was with us in 2000/20001)

 

Goram

 

Jim Patterson

Kaiser

Craigen

Reynolds

 

Rossco

O'Donnell

Lapin (maybe only for that day at Smeltic Park where they all thought we had blown their

league!!)

 

Faddy

 

Porter

McDonald

One of the hardest things I have tried to do. There are so many players that I love and want to put in the team but as they say there is only 11 starting slots. I wasn't sure to pick people that had only a limited number of games but I thought I would pick the best players irrespective of the number of games that they played. So here goes.

 

Ruddy

Corrigan Reynolds Partridge McMillan

Alan McCormack O'Donnell Leitch

McFadden

Porter McDonald

Subs: Marshall, Quinn, Clarkson, Ross McCormack, Criagan, Paterson , Pearson

 

I have no doubt with that squad we would be winning the league this year. ;)

Only thing I could find on his transfer to Spain suggested about 950,000 euros which is still not bad but I'd be stunned if he'd went for 9 million. Was a decent player though and one would have liked to see stay.

No-one has come close to paying 9m Euros for him.... It wasn't even one million from Osasuna. And he hardly gets a game.

 

The Vadocz myth always makes me smile...the guy played 11 games for Motherwell, we won one of them. Against the team that got relegated.

Mmmm...interestingly Faddy features in a helluva lot of the teams Al, and he played in a team that finished bottom, so going by your logic...? :rolleyes: Even in those 11 games, Vadocz showed enough class to stick in a few folks minds, mine included, as potentially one of our best central creative midfielders for a number of seasons. Way ahead of e.g. Steph Hughes (probably would've been cheaper as well, but thats another moot point) He'd be my pick in that role in a hypothetical best team for that reason, not because the team he played in (the arse end of the Malpas era) didny get results. Just my opinion mind... © M. Bragg.
