    If Forrest is playing regular football anywhere he has a chance of making the squad.

    He is 34 and a known quantity for Clarke. The squad currently has no wide players available and you would think he would take at least 1. If Harvey Barnes ever gets fit and declares for Scotland he might get the call, but at the moment it would be Forrest or Ryan Fraser who might still be on the naughty step.

    Re Forrest to Motherwell, would certainly offer something different and allow us to mix things up a bit. Although we could also solve that problem by getting in another left back and playing Gent in advanced role.

    Dont think thats going to happen unfortunately as according to one of the resident stattos over on P&B  you're only allowed one loan player from another SPL club so as we've apparently retained the registration of Montgomery and not cancelled the loan, we can't get anyone else on loan from Celtic.

    If Hearts are in for him too I think that's where he will go. All that matters is money all the misty eyed pish that gets talked about players is not worth a fuck. It's a difficult one , rarely do returns to Fir Park work and it's strange how it's all gone tits up a Gronigen. I think as an individual he may be "hard work" however is it worth a gamble if we can afford it for 6 months ? Yes it is because relegation is a bigger financial threat.

    Hearts have confirmed they've no interest in him.

    Killie (according to their fans) are only looking for a defender this window.

    Leaves us and possibly St Mirren as the other clubs interested (allegedly I might add).

    All coming from a tweet by a Dutch journo.

    Lincoln City fans said he was hopeless and they punted him back to Blackburn early. 

    Can you not give the guy the benefit of the doubt and make your mind up after you've seen him in the flesh or is that too much to ask.

    I'm serious. We've kept 2 clean sheets in the past 24 games. Our defence is rank rotten and we don't seem to be adding anyone. 

    Our striking options are Bair and Vale both of whom are poor players. As things stand our form is unlikely to change and thus squad won't win a playoff. 

    So how do you know Vale is a poor player when you haven't even seen him play.

     

  5. Think we're all getting ahead of ourselves.

    It's only a rumour and even if its true it doesn't necessarily mean he'll accept their offer.

    Despite what some people say, he's been one of our better and consistent players this season and I wouldn't be surprised if even more clubs were sniffing about him.

    Or they pick half a dozen or so experts from in here to do it for free and save a bundle. At least that way we can be sure of only getting top class players. 
     

    surely no emoji required to accompany my statement? 😀

    I can think of 3 right away.

    Considering that Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs and Kilmarnock have all effectively got byes to the Quarters then that’s a given unfortunately. It will be very difficult bordering on impossible for us to get any further than the last eight but there’s no guarantee that we’ll get past Morton. This tie could well be 2024’s and Kettlewell’s Raith Rovers.

    Item tonight saying Livvy may be getting shot of Nouble. Out of contract at end of season, out of favour with Martin Dale and could be available now for a nominal fee. Apparently two English teams and one Scottish Premier team interested. Could it be us ?? If it is would you be happy for it to happen?? 

    Livi have been playing him way out of position as a wing back according to their fans and he's not a happy bunny. Was being touted as a £1m signing not that long ago

    He's always caused us problems when played up front and if we could get him for not a lot of money he could turn out to be a good addition.

  10. As is the case with every player we sign, I'll judge him on how he represents the club off the field and what he does on the park in a Motherwell strip and nothing else.

    Every player starts with a clean slate, I don't care what their history/reputation is or what previous clubs they've played for.

  11. Feck me.

    Been away for a few days and had a quick look in here.

    Thought we had maybe been relegated to the Lowland League for financial mismanagement, our entire first team squad had emigrated to Australia or some Nigerian had emptied the Well Society bank account.

    Think I'll go away again.

    I don’t know anything about him other than someone on here mentioning he is a left back. So does Gent move into a more attacking role?

    He was originally an attacking LH wing back but Celtic converted him to a LB according to a Celtic mate.

    St Johnstone fans initially a bit mixed on him when he was on loan up there but most of them say they would have him back in a heartbeat as he was getting better as the season progressed.

    Can get up and down the park rapid style so similar in style to Gent but apparently a bit better at the defensive side of things.

    Don't know if our current system would be able to accommodate both unless we reverted to a back 4 which I can't see happening but who knows.

  13. I did hear that the Taylor Swift thing was put in deliberately because her devoted followers apparently refer to her as "Mother" so I suppose it could spark some kind of Internet search thingy which might point people towards "Motherwell".

    Whether it's true or not I don't know but it's a good story if it isn't.

    Oakley is a decent finisher and is worth taking a chance on. Ruari Paton at Queen's Park and Bruce Anderson from Livi are both decent players we should be taking a look at.

    We need a right back in this window so I'd be asking Rangers about Adam Devine on loan. He's been solid when he's appeared in their first team and for Scotland u21s.

    Anderson has apparently signed a PCA with Killie according to Livi fans.
