[January Transfer Window]

was talkin to a close relative of Stephen Hughes last night and he seems to reckon that he is staying put for at least another season !!

reasons were that he has a young kid settled at nursery/primary school, and his missus is halfway through a course at uni, and doesn't want to move before she finishes it !!

There are other teams in the vicinity he could play for without moving house. But good to hear, nonetheless.

[Sutton]

I think Sutton was brought in as a direct replacement for Porter. As other have said, the two don't play so well together.

 

If Porter does leave, then Clarky and Sutton should make a decent pairing.

[Inverurie Locos's]

Remember what happened the last time we started getting ahead of ourselves in a cup draw

[Trialists]

seen these three guys last night in the phil odonnel stand they look the part,Lars Martin Engedal looks like a big guy

6ft (1.83m), according to the website I looked at.

[Jim O'brien]

McGhee obviously has an overall plan for the way he wants us to play. So even if he brings in a player with potential, there is still a lot of work required to fit him into the system. He made that clear in is radio interview again last night where he mentioned that he told Jim "if the guy that coached you when your were 9 years old saw you today, he'd see exactly the same player" (or words to that effect). It seems, however, that he is now taking on board what is required to play in the MM system, and it's starting to pay off.

[January Transfer Window]

We stuck Foran in a midfield(ish) type role for a while.

[Fhw Declare Interest In Porter]

If it's anything like the pre-contract he 'signed' with Forest it is media speculation, and nothing more.

[Fhw Declare Interest In Porter]

I really can't see why Porter would be a target for Hearts, I mean he is British!!

 

As for Porter himself, I htink he would go there in a heartbeat despite the madness at the club, would take 300K in January but not a penny less.

If he did go to Hearts, the money would have to be in the bank (and cleared) before we let him go. No idea why he would go there when he can find a better deal down south, mind you.

[Fhw Declare Interest In Porter]

It doesn't matter who is to blame. Hearts agreed to pay Arbroath on Aug 1 last year. They still haven't payed. They have also deferred payment on players win bonuses. Why would they need to do that?

[Fhw Declare Interest In Porter]

Arbroath were only entitled to money if webster was sold. Incase you don't know webster left in the 3rd year of a 4 year deal therfore Hearts never recieved a fee. It's all crazy behind the scene's stuff, if anybody is due money it shouldf be webster.

If that was true, then you wouldn't have agreed to pay Arbroath anything; and yet you are paying them on Jan 9th (allegedly). Why would you do that?

[Fhw Declare Interest In Porter]

Even if a transfer fee was involved, we wouldn't see any money from Vlad.

[Fhw Declare Interest In Porter]

Why would he not be paid?

Don't ask me, ask the players that are still waiting on their win bonuses from last year. Or have a word with Arbroath. When you are stiffing a wee team out of 14 grand, you know are in financial trouble.

[Fhw Declare Interest In Porter]

Hearts are a bigger and better club than Motherwell. If Hearts were to make an acceptable bid he would be very interested in a move to Edinburgh.

Except he has this irrational need to be paid.

[Vs Heart Of Midloathing - Wed 7th Jan]

Keeping Boab quite will be easy, as he'll be on the bench...

 

I fancy a 2-1 win for with a deflected shot from Clarky in the last 5 mins winning the game - just after Hearts have a stonewall penalty claim denied

[Fhw Declare Interest In Porter]

I can't imagine any player who likes receiving wages every month would go anywhere near the Jambos.

 

I'm sure Porter will move on, but to a Championship or lower EPL club.

[January Transfer Window]

It's nothing to do with the club. The agents go running to the papers with half-baked stories to try and start a bidding war. The higher the price, the more the agents get in their 15% cut.

[January Transfer Window]

It's obvious I'm no Malcolm fan, and I'd be happy to see him move on during the window. From McGhee's past comments, he obviously wanted him to play in the midfield and has been disappointed in the lack of fitness which has prevented from playing that role more often.

 

I'd be much happier keeping Reynolds for that role and freeing up Fat Boab's salary for other options.

[January Transfer Window]

According to football-lineups.com, Engedal is 1.83m i.e. almost exactly 6ft.

[Mcghee Talks About Leaving Fir Park]

For all LDCs efforts, the football club is in major financial trouble. They could be out of business very soon.

 

No wages for players (again)

[Above Soil Heating]

They allegedly have both undersoil and a cover system.

[Maroš Klimpl]

Aye, here is his first name if a mod wants to cut and paste it.

 

Maroš

[Official St Mirren Thread]

Thought it would end up a draw. That's an okay result considering both team's form the last few weeks.

[Official St Mirren Thread]

Or setting up chances on a plate for Porter to score (or usually miss)

He has to stay on the pitch to do that.

[Official St Mirren Thread]

Quinn is an idiot and a liability. If he's not getting sent off giving away needless pens, he's trying to get sent of by elbowing players.

[Official St Mirren Thread]

St. Mirren will be flying for the first 20 or 30 mins. If we can keep it tight and quieten down the crowd we have a chance. (Sorry, was that too many football manager clichés?)
