Well-Made

Think someone behind me has McHugh for 1st scorer... keeps shouting hit it!!!! when he is on the ball.

Conor Grant knocked out cold on his debut for Crewe. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/evertons-conor-grant-taken-hospital-13564469 https://twitter.com/crewealexfc/status/904055748132560897

That wasn't quite the way I took his comments. We spoke to him a few times and were interested but he got a firm offer from Blackpool at a time we couldn't commit. So fair do's to the guy. He's been getting paid for the last few weeks and still got his dream move......

Blackpool boss Gary Bowyer says that the players in control of the jerseys at present in fine form he feels a player would be better out on loan getting game time than sitting waiting for the chance. He also feels that the transfer window should close with the start of the season but also admits there should be a loan window available after this. I can see where he is coming from on all those points, I just wonder if there's an option to pull Hartley back in January if required.

Apparently will be at Rugby Park later.

So it is, getting my B's mixed up...

Liam Grimshaw story seems to be growing now with PNS Fans tweeting that he is on his way up here. As well as the media. Just seen a tweet suggesting Bristol Rovers have agreed a deal and Heneghan is heading down for medical and talks.

That's also been rebuffed...

Depends whether the deal is based on the sell on value is against profit or not. A club may ttake a gamble (especially if the player is a main target) and agree that profit is against the value of the next sale. If they stand to lose money then they'll negotiate harder or reject any bids and let the contract run out. So in reality £750,000 is an achievable and realistic figure....... whether it works out that way though is a different prospect.

Seeing this story popping up from various sources. http://the72.co.uk/90280/sunderland-qpr-target-rejects-new-contract-push-move/ http://www.footballinsider247.com/powerhouse-wanted-rangers-rejects-contract-targets-last-gasp-transfer-sources/

They gave him 0 for his footballing powers but 10/10 for his speed.

Louis is in the pick of the goals for fans to vote for. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11010560/watch-and-vote-goals-koke-marco-asensio-franck-nouble-and-billy-knott-feature

Done

Looks like the money is starting to be splashed around between clubs in England now, suppose we may start to see if there is any real interest in Moult, Cadden and Heneghan shortly or if the papers are just making it up. On that subject, Hull have also just agreed a deal to sell Clucas to Swansea, so may free up extra funds in their chase for Johnson as well. So we may get a wee windfall that may allow us to bring someone else in without them going.

My vote goes to Tait. He was pretty decent down boh sides today and took his goal well. Thought Bowman and Campbell made a big difference when they came on.

Crewe considering offering Lucas a contract after speaking to a lad at Motherwell he knows, recommended him. Looking at Artell's playing career, he was at Wrexham in 2013 so not much of a stretch to guess who the lad may be....... Maybe Louis seen something we didn't get to see.

Wish Thomson had been wearing the camera, we might have got to see his view of both incidents. https://twitter.com/FootyVines/status/897215743921717249

Lee Lucas on trial at Crewe, and I don't mean court

Email went out to Society Memebers on the 4th of August and then Jay first posted about this on the 8th of August... it has been discussed since then on this very thread.

I think that the wry smile was because he has got his pacy front man in... he's just ad to wait for him to cut down on his other role.... I can exclusively reveal that I believe it to be, after hearing from my sister's, mother's, brother's only nephew that it is Usain Bolt,,,,,

Just a one off, by the looks of things due to having two games against Aberdeen in the space of 4 days and trying to help fans afford both games here. Ours is in November at the start of the expenses around Xmas.

I saw a story the other day where he says he's happy here and wants to stay longer.... so maybe something can still be done. I'll find it and post it.. http://www.motherwelltimes.co.uk/sport/football/motherwell-fc/cedric-kipre-i-loved-atmosphere-against-rangers-and-want-to-stay-longer-at-motherwell-1-4526529

Well now that Blyth is out the door, does that make room for Tuton? Apparently not..... http://www.motherwelltimes.co.uk/sport/football/motherwell-fc/robbo-motherwell-won-t-be-signing-barnsley-striker-shaun-tuton-1-4525759

The Pre-Match bit on FB said Bigi was injured..... maybe it's the name Rangers that injures him.

Chris Porter scored twice for Crewe. Alan McCormack scored a beaut in Luton's 8-2 win over Yeovil.
