Unsurprisingly, Gary Stevens being linked with the Assistants role.

How do season ticket numbers compare to previous years? In comparison to clubs like Dundee Urd, Accies, Falkirk and Livi, why have we struggled to attract offers for quality such as Murphy, Hutchinson, Randolph and Law?

The less connections with the old regime the better. Did the mystery man from the bench last weekend ever get identified?

Encouraging that we are scouting and investing in the type of player that should have been the blueprint for Motherwell for many years. Acid test will be how good an eye for a player Baraclough and his colleagues possess. Not sounding great on the injury front but pleased to hear it's a knee injury and not personal issues that kept McManus out.

None.

Former Celtic youngster. Came through at the same time as Feruz. He's 21 so not for the development squad.

Share the caution of Ya Beezer and Melvin Bragg as much bigger clubs than us have failed to integrate multiple signings in a short period of time. And while trying to install a style of play, I suspect he'll have his man-management skills put to the test by inevitable unrest. Some of the signings though do look really impressive away. So while not getting carried away, I'll need to try and talk the missus into valentines at Dingwall.

Club has lived up to it's promise in delivering multiple signings and the manager has been backed significantly. Fascinating times ahead, on and off the park. As alluded to previously, I hope we still get regular sightings of Thomas, Erwin and Moore despite the increased competition in their areas.

I'm about 2 strikers short of naming 3 starting XIs. Edit - I forgot all about Bob McHugh.

Yeah sure. I like him a lot despite a ropey performance on Sat. Just have a fear that the others could be picked up quickly given their style of play. Watt is relatively new to the scene while Erwin, Moore, Thomas and Cadden have been standouts at youth level for some time.

Just hope when the dust settles on this window, we move quickly to sort out Erwin, Thomas and possibly Cadden. Think Moore is on a longer deal.

He'll win us over with a playoff winner against that lot. Significant cash is being splashed here.

That is a promising signing. We must be heading for our biggest squad in about 10 years.

If this comes to fruition there must be something going on with McManus.

Fyvie to Hibs.

When did we last have such a busy conclusion to a transfer window in Scotland? Good to see some cash flow through the league.

Yeah Thistle for Taylor apparently. Am I right in seeing we're allowed 4 loan players max? So room for 1 more.

Lyle Taylor returning to Scotland; not us though.

Accies coining in another £1mil tonight.

That ethos will end in disaster. You need quality if you want the club to grow.

The club have been peddling the exciting new era line for a while. No way we're chucking fresh loans at Plymouth rejects, surely. I'd rather go with what we have.

We're turning into Hibs with all these short term deals.

Was it not £500k for Davies brother in law plus £7k a week? Would be interested to know what the average attendances were pre Boyle until now. Obviously there are a host of society wide issues contributing but I do feel like we lost a chunk of our support during his reign.

Fair bit of experience behind him for a young keeper. Imagine he'll have featured in some of Sheffield United's big cup games prior to this season.
