The reason I've stayed away from Fir Park at times has nothing to do with being fairweather. It's genuinely been because I couldn't afford it. When I've had the cash to buy a season ticket I've always bought one. And when I can't go to a game I always offer my ticket out because I know what it's like not to be able to afford to go.

Is he match fit?

There's a bit of discussion/speculation further down about what we pay players. As much as I rate big Kev we really can't afford to break the bank for him. Obviously he wants his current wages matching and we can't do it

Well. We had to pay off Alexander and Hammell. Of course that's going to be a factor.

Someone is clearly bankrolling them then.

That's assuming he has the kind of spell he had with us before he moved on.

I am as well. Seriously as much as I rate big Kev I wish he would just sign for someone and we can move on from this

To be fair. We don't know the offer that Motherwell made.

To be fair. As someone pointed out on twitter a few days ago St Mirren are getting bigger crowds than us just now. More gate money coming in. Its always going to be tough for a club like Motherwell given that we are fan owned and have a relatively small core support

To be fair we've been in a relegation dogfight every year apart from a few as long as I've been watching Motherwell (a long time).

Or as someone said above St Mirren have backers with money.

See to be honest with you. I'll be sorry if we miss out on Kev but I won't be heartbroken. I personally don't think we were ever in the running and as other people have said it doesn't always work second time around

We do need a boost but tbh I dont think it was a bad thing putting players out on loan who weren't getting game time. I get what you are saying but we can't go back to the days of throwing money at players given that we ended up in administration.

I agree.

Club have just said they expect him to be back

I am a happy clapper when it comes to Motherwell. Won't apologise for it either.

Just

Was Depeche mode to be fair

For clarification I think steelboy will get that when i agree with him I agree with him but come on now. I think he can stand up for himself. I personally don't see anyone giving steelboy or mjc a hard time. They can give back as good as they get I went to see my favourite band tonight at the hydro and some twat tripped me up on the way out ... And I now have a broken nose.. Motherwell could sign anyone tonight and I would not care

So why didn't you tell people earlier eh

I personally think Paton is a decent player and I would like to think we would be looking at keeping him

Not a black mark against him in my view. He's not responsible for the state the club is in. He's been trying his hardest to get a striker signed

Nothing wrong with giving youth a chance. But we need experience as well in my view. We have to sign at least one striker in this window.

I feel like I'm being quizzed here for no reason. Do you think Kelly is unlikely to be one of our highest paid players? I dont
