Was Benito Kemble not number 4?

Solid enough point. Imagine McGhee would have taken that before the game given his defensive lineup. Good to have Moult back. Hopefully him and Luka are ready to start next week.

Really liked the look of Ben from day 1. Scope to be one of our biggest assets.

I can mind being excited by this signing. Sure he done well against us in the cup with Ayr (Craig Nelson game iirc). Steven Ferguson is one that springs to mind. Blistering pace but struggled to find the net, scored in the 6-1 Hearts game mind you.

Don't think McGhee seen anything of Blyth beyond scouting videos.

Forgetting the fact it's Joe fucking Chalmers, why is he calling up a 22 year old rather than a kid in preparation for the next qualifying campaign. Sbragia must be one of the biggest clowns in Scottish football. When he inevitably parts company with the SFA, I hope Craigan applies. The organisation, composure on the ball and style of play he brings to our u20s is streets ahead of the national team.

Just heading home from Tynecastle. Really poor stuff. Not sure if that's down to poor coaching of the quality of player, probably the former. Liam Henderson the one positive.

Clocked Kennedy a couple of times, looks like he's been through a grim virus. Interesting that more rumours are emerging around Blyth. My hunch from very early on is that McGhee isn't keen on him.

No representation at Under 17 level either. Thought we had a number of prospects in that age group.

I actually forgot about how Blyth described his attributes. Early days but his ability to run in behind hasn't looked obvious in his brief appearances. Agree that if anyone else comes in, it has to be a midfielder. With none of Thomas, McLean and Campbell going out on loan though I'm content to go with what we have.

A striker that can run in behind. Certainly something we needed but we're still a little unbalanced in midfield. Having said that, Burrows hasn't ruled out looking at free agents.

Ryan bowman.

Note to self - don't agree to start a new job the morning after transfer deadline day. Come on tae fuck Motherwell.

I'd be surprised if we were willing to pay for Pawlett. Not the profile of player we are likely to invest in.

Good luck to Marvin. Great player to watch when he was in full flow and provided some good memories. However, he's not the type of guy that would get near your favourite or best Motherwell XI. He was seen as an investment and it's certainly paid dividends. Hopefully we can continue to follow this model.

Preston signed a right back too. Has Humohrey/Grimshaw not been playing right back this season....

Scott Burns anticipating a couple of signings and he retweeted the Luka Belic rumour. Edit - beaten to it.

Tweet from Burrows to suggest there is potential movement.

Attacking midfielder is exactly what we need, looks to have a bit of pace about him too.

Good move. A player who cruises through u20s games and needs the pressure of competitive football to get him ready for our 1st team.

Talk of Tony Andreu returning to Scotland with Dundee Utd the favourites to get him. If we are looking for an attacking midfielder, surely he'd be one of our irons in the fire.

I'm sure McGhee said the club were in a position to push the button on identified targets should Marvin move on. Obviously that's easier said than done on transfer deadline day but I trust we are well prepared. I actually wouldn't mind if we lost Marvin and couldn't get a deal for a replacement done. It would give Thomas and McLean a right good opportunity to prove themselves. Having said that if we end up with GMS or Henderson I'll be flipping delighted.

Exactly who we should be reaching for if fit and there is scope for reinvestment.

Wouldn't be adverse to Celtic signing him, especially if we could nab one of their fringe players in return. If the personal reasons line is being used though, it's surely for a move south.

Think it would be best all round if we could get him moved on this month for a decent fee. Talented boy with lots of potential but he's not fancied it in recent weeks. Would like to think we have 1 or 2 quality players lined up should a deal go through.
