On the last two occasions that Levein has been at a Motherwell game, Murphy has been non-existent. If he shows what we know he is capable of on a more regular basis, he will be in the squad. I imagine a good performance this Sunday will propel him to first in line should there be any call-offs.

Hopefully they get a tough game on Thursday. Sutton a nap to score. We need a striker to have a chance of winning.

If either team had a clinical centre forward, it would have been an enthralling game. Typical early season tippy tappy stuff. Really like the look of Law.

At last, someone on the same wavelength as me when it comes to rating Goodwillie. I take great interest in seeing Scottish talent progress but the hype surrounding Goodwillie is media driven imo. I'm sure he will go on to carve out a decent career but he is far away from being a top Scottish talent.

That is another decent signing. As well as we played last week, I expect us to struggle away from home this season.

Murphy ability sticks out like a sore thumb hence the interest in him and we are in need of the cash.

Barring injury, it seems inevitable he will be away in the coming weeks. I very much doubt Parkhead will be his destination though.

Hammell turned back the years, vintage display. What a difference it makes to have a proper midfielder in front of him.

I'm actually delighted with that. Best looking shirt in years.

Tremendous piece of business if we can pull it off. Gunning has the potential to make us a good few quid in the years to come.

Fair few names getting mentioned re h**s transfer spree, Murphy and Murray davidson supposedly 2 of the more likely deals...

The silence is deafning, as usual. The less likely this looks, the more likely Murphy or Randolph will be sold this summer.

I have my doubts that McFadden will still be playing by the time he is 33/34. He's taken a tanking from injuries over the years.

Another summer, another issue with the strips. Many teams who are supplied by Puma currently have both their new home and away kits on sale.

Think Graham Carey was mentioned on here once or twice. Completed his move to St Mirren. They seem to be raising their game a wee bit this summer.

Cillian Sheridan getting linked with Hibs in the Record as he looks for a return to Scotland. Split opinion amongst our support but I thought there was plenty potential there during his time at Motherwell.

1 permanent deal and a couple of loans will do the trick.

Anytime I've watched Scotland Under-21s, Murphy has always looked the superior player. Granted Goodwillie has developed well this season and banged in the goals but I still think Murphy has much more to offer.

Agreed. Murphy has the superior talent, mentality and mindset.

I'm pretty sure we are well beyond signing the likes of Jim Paterson thankfully. McCall is clearly after a left sided defender with a bit of pace that can cover both centre half and left back. Gunning and Reynolds fit the bill. Page certainly has something to offer but I'm not quite sure where he fits in. Still amazed if we aren't actively pursuing another striker. Higdon and Murphy need some source of competion as they both tend to go through purple patches. Ideal situation would be selll Randolph, use his wages to bring in the keeper McCall has lined up and use a small proportion of the transfer fee to bolster the squad with 1 or 2 significant additions. The rest of the transfer fee would then help tide things over in the absence of Boyle/Fan ownership.

Could see Murphy getting a move by the end of August if he makes a blistering start to the season. Still think Randolph is the likelist to depart though.

www The one thing that may go in favour of Forbes is that I suspect we will go with a 3 man midfield on a regular basis this season. If he gets the opportunity to play in his preferred position he really needs to shine. Make or break season.

Rumour was kicking about a few months ago that Novo's agent was approaching a host of SPL clubs. However I doubt any Scottish provinical club could afford him unless the likes of Dundee United selling Goodwillie could make a decent wage available. Given that Rangers are willing to offer David Healy a new contract, i wouldn't be entirely surprised if Novo ended up back at Ibrox.

I'd be amazed if we don't bring in another striker.

Hutch and Gunning were also tremendous in the 3-0 demolition of Dundee United at Fir Park. There will be a few bombscares along the way but I'd settle for that duo. If the news on Jennings is true then he seems to be a bit of an unusual character. Don't get me wrong, he is so crucial to us that I'd settle for him signing on a week to week basis but you would think he would be looking for a bit of financial security somewhere along the line.
