I feel like I'm reading the lyrics to a Fall song.

Doubt it, St Mirren's current signing policy seems to be "Have you ever bought a baguette from Upper Crust? .... Aye? .... Yer in"

Not the intention- it was a joke, you seem a bit up yourself , lad

The problem here is you come across as a man with inside knowledge. That is clear to everyone on here and you do nothing to dissuade that notion. So a by product of that is that what you post carries more weight (imho) and an assumption of factual background. Of course he would go if approached by a bigger club and we received compensation. That is an everyday occurrence for successful Managers so hardly news. My reading of your response is that GA is already agitating to leave. That may well be the case if he struggles to get any of his targets or realises just how tough it is to attract decent players to Motherwell. I maybe over reacted. However I have called you out on your riddles before as they tell us nothing but leave us guessing.

I love the Onthefringes posts. Reminds me of Johnny the shoe shine guy from Police Squad or that scene from Oceans 12 when Robbie Coltrane winds up Matt Damon. Thing is I get caught every time when OTF posts. I'm shouting to my family 'OTF is posting. He (she?) has a scoop..... Oh no (s)he doesn't!! It adds to the forum for me and I would love to know what connection OTF has with the club so to that extent the posts work. Football forums should be about intrigue and rumour. OTF has it nailed! Even the username is filled with mystery!! Anyway, is Louis Moult signing or not?

Is Alexander married to Mrs Polworth too?

Id have Jordan Roberts back before Lafferty. His attitude was first class in his time with us. Definitely worth a deal.

Jesus Christ it's like an episode of River City on here today.

It's about this time every year I stop reading the Rebuild/Transfer/Ins&Outs thread and just wait on official announcements from the club. Maybe it's the pandemic, but it seems even worse than usual this time around.

That's how rumours should be names and teams quoted, irrespective of whether it's a load of nonsense or not, none of this cryptic riddle shite, life's too short.

Nobody ever says Italy

Could be he's moved his family up and they don't like it, that's why they want to move. Like when Homer goes to work for Hank Scorpio.

Hope something straightens his sour puss.

According to the Club's own records his Contract Date end was extended by one month, a month in which Motherwell did not have a game. So that appears to be a fact and certainly points to the duck being a duck.

Almost as predictable as you coming on here to play your broken record on this subject. Why you insist that what transpired is fully legit and all parties are without reproach without written affidavits from all sides and an Mi5 surveillance sting operation is the other side of the coin. What would you need to change these from baseless to believable? The subject has been covered at length in other threads. He agreed on a deal, got a wage increase, changed his mind, tried to engineer a move, renegotiated and contract end date changed. A 10 year old playing Cluedo could put all the clues together for a plausible timeline of events. Essentially his actions meant we lost out on a decent potential transfer fee (however would he have been pursued if it was attached to his signature?). I accept the alternative was having a petulant wean playing centre half till next summer. When it quacks like a duck, floats like a duck, looks like a duck and is called Daffy ...... it's probably a fucking duck.

Long and short is he reneged on a deal and he and his representatives acted far from professionally. The Euro compo will be a fraction of what we could have got if he was under contract till next summer. I think Aberdeen would have easily found 300k which would be 4x what we will get under this recobble. Prick is getting booed

You could have said the exact same thing about Watt and he has been a great addition to the club. Lafferty has done extremely well in his spells at Killie and Hearts which is our level. I don't see him as a risky signing. Especially compared to Moult.

He If he told you, he'd have to kill you Nope

Mulumbu yeah? Who's 34, started 10 and came off the bench in 11 due to fitness concerns (BBC Article), and went AWOL before the two leg playoff because he couldn't be arsed. Good shout. That gets the same round of applause you claim Vigurs got. As for the comments on the players being tainted because they were relegated, here's a hypothetical: Say back in January we couldn't secure a keeper and had to see out the season with Chapman. We end up relegated, does that mean Tony Watt is tainted because he was unable to contribute due to injury? Is Alan Campbell suddenly pish? In a shitty season there are always some who avoid criticism and kids who have promise. To rule them out universally is a knee-jerk and naive. I'm pretty sure I could put my house on between the two relegated teams there's as least 4x OOC or released players who offer more than our current personnel or are exciting and offer major hopes of pushing on in the right environment, system and coaching.

Again, make no apologies for posting style, fewer on here with issue than not yet, clamour for any titbits... You do know the definition of a riddle?

She did blame him for all her woe's, must be a thruple, they're very in vogue

Would anyone see any value in any of the players listed, only if they are better what we've got: New Contracts Offered (free agents): Kyle Lafferty Ross Millen Greg Kiltie Mitch Pinnock Calum Waters Tomas Brindley Kyle Connell Unsure of Future: Chris Burke Kirk Broadfoot Players leaving Diaguely Dabo Gary Dicker Clevid Dikamona Nicke Kabamba Youssouf Mulumbu George Oakley Danny Rogers Ally Taylor Aaron Tshibola Danny Whitehall Loan deals ending Colin Doyle (Hearts) Zeno Ibsen Rossi (Bournemouth) Zech Medley (Arsenal) Brandon Pierrick (Crystal Palace)

No. Trying to ingratiate yourself with some of this boards sycophants isn’t a good look. Had one of our top performers ask to leave though...
