To be fair, I don't think it was McCall that signed him, though.

That is a cracking piece of business from the club. Tie him down, get another season or two from him and sell him on.

Unfinished business could also mean winning a league title (or a play-off) with a lower league team. Or even just proving a point to his last employer they shouldn't have let him go.

Fluorescent has no place anywhere near a football shirt.

Sounds like the kind of player we should be signing - assuming he is any good of course. From his interview it seems Bara had been tracking him for a while, so obviously believes he will fit in to the system. Hoping he is one of those guys who does all his talking on the park.

I don't even think they agreed if it was only League, Cup and/or friendlies.

Once 3D printers make custom kits more affordable to produce, I imagine we'll get a bespoke kit every season.

I'm still waiting on the paypal option. I'm not sure how long it takes to set up such a scheme, but I doubt it's supposed to take years.

Right. So your comment about our summer signing policy wasn't really about our summer signing policy at all. I'm in the "wait and see" camp too. I didn't want Sutton to come back after Higdon left, but he turned out to be a solid signing and I'm happy to admit I was completely wrong on that one. Clarkson thrived in the attacking set-up McGhee liked to use, so hopefully playing with a couple of wingers will be to his advantage. I'm not ready to write him off yet.

You mean Chalmers? or Clarkson? Or Ainsworth? Or Dom Thomas (who we tied down on a deal earlier in the season)? I have no idea how good a signing he'll be, but this forum was full of posters gagging for him to be signed last season.

Aye, Clarkson was playing at Fir Park when O'Donnell returned in 2004 and that's when he picked up the "Uncle" tag.

Clarkson is an interesting one. Started last season on fire then only scored one goal in 2015. He should get plenty of chances, so hopefully he brings his shooting boots.

Erwin back on loan would do fine.

Even in his latest interview he says he is an "out and out winger". Let's just sign someone to get on the end of his crosses.

Delighted to see him pen a new deal. Nothing beats watching a winger in full flight, and he has the right product with his crosses too. As others have said, he can also put one of the sweetest strikes on a ball I have seen at Fir Park.

Surprised Aberdeen didn't go for one of the goalkeeper coaching experts on here.

You say that like it would be a bad thing.

That was my original thought when the kit launch was delayed. Double announcement.

I was thinking Vigurs and Lawson.

Tweet(@MotherwellFC): @Malloyal All going well, there will be some good news to report on the player front tomorrow! :-) Which by our standards means nothing will happen tomorrow, this thread will go into meltdown, signing news will be reported on Thursday soon to be followed by a string of complaints about who we brought in.

Credit where it's due - I found it on google, but it's actually hosted by the guys at Fir Park Corner: http://www.motherwell-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/motherwell_loses_a_great__andy_paton_has_died_824071/index.shtml

Here's the team photo (with names) of that Cup Winning team

He will be be VIGOURSLY AGAINST!!!!!!

That's a fair point. He did have to make a big step up, and that takes time. (Unlike his brother who made a big step down and dropped his performance level).

There's a really interesting interview with McCall out there on YouTube somewhere, as part of the play off conversations. He's pretty candid about what happened. Basically, he says while others suggested he leave on a high after the Aberdeen game to finish second, he really wanted one more crack at the cups with us. After the injury crisis and the early cup exits, he admitted that he found it hard to motivate himself to give it everything each day to fight for what was likely to be, at best, at battle for 7th or 8th place. He obviously still had strong emotions for our club, and was visibly upset when discussing the possibility that he might relegate us. You can tell he holds his time with us in high regard and still has a lot of good friends at Fir Park. I certainly don't have issues with him on a personal level - he seems like a genuine guy and I'd happily have a beer with him. I wouldn't have him back as a manager, though, as a club like ours always needs to be moving forward.
