Anyone heard anything about a young striker from Everton apparently being our next signing?New Motherwell signing Lukas Jutkiewicz hopes to make a big impression whilst on loan at Fir Park.
The Everton striker has put pen to paper on an initial six-month loan deal from the Premiership club and wants to prove he's still good enough to play at that level.

All I did was post that I heard we may be getting an Everton youngster for a bit and everyone started laughing.
I didn't get the joke, so I just laughed as well

Lasley, McGarry and Fraser not in the squad on Saturday, anyone think they may be on thier way out this week?
Feel Las is a little unlucky to not feature but the other two are not good enough, pure and simple.
Didn't Fraser only just arrive in the summer?
I can't see him being sold or released just now, especially with only 19 year old Kosiorowski as the other back-up keeper to Ruddy at present.

David I really cant be bothered with going over it all again, guess I'm just an old fashioned guy that believes that when I'm struggling financially, what little income I am getting should not be going on Drink, Fags or attending Football matches
Despite the fact that you have already said you don't think that life should grind to a halt simply because you happen to be out of work, you don't think unemployed people should be using £5 per week from their income to attend a football game?
I'd say that a price-cut for unemployed people is just as valid as it is for students, especially considering the unemployment level we have in the Motherwell area.
I've also re-read the thread and can't find these good points made about students and juveniles other than wellgirl referring to the fact they are alreay offered reduced entry.The fact is, you could have someone who is a student who is as well off as someone who works but still gets a discount, you could have someone over 60 who qualifies for a concession who is still in full time employment.Aberdeen have a scheme where if people work in certain jobs that they do unsocial hours, they have the option of buying a 10 game season ticket.I've posted two quotes for you there chief, which shows that she's at least looking to discuss the various ideas and ways in which we would look at getting more bums on seats.
Sure, she mentioned unemployment as well, but she's far from "harping on about it".
In fact, having read over the thread, i'd go as far as to say that it's you who is doing all the "harping on" about unemployed fans in this thread, not her.
I'm harping on a bit now, better shutup and jog on in case folk think i'm ridiculous and not being honest

Got to state the obvious, but we have an Irish manager and any chants about the famine etc.. by bigotted guys like you will so fucking embarrasing it will be obvious how bigotted you fucking pricks are....calling someone a f*******n is s tricky kind of thing
Is there really any need for that kind of language now?
Kind of ironic that your pulling someone up about using abusive language, yet you seem to find it perfectly acceptable to do the same...

i agree why should unemployed get cheaper tickets 90% probably work on the side meaning they have more cash than some folk who work
I like your assumption about 90% of people who are unemployed working on the side.
Do you have any actual evidence to back that up? Or are you just talking nonsense?
but I still stand by the basic point that if anyone is on the dole and struggling they shouldn't be spending the proposed £10 on a fitba match.This is a ridiculous statement to be honest, Brazilian.
Looking at the months of September & October of this season, there are two home matches in each month.
Thats £20 if we go by the £10 entry fee for unemployed people per month, which is £5 a week.
Taking £5 from a £65 unemployment payment isn't beyond the realms of reality, is it?
Your basically talking about the price of a packet of cigarettes or two pints.
Wellgirl came up with some pretty valid & interesting points, and your response is to accuse her of "harping on" about getting unemployed people into Fir Park.
She made something like two posts mentioning unemployed people, and also made points regarding students and juvenile ticket schemes, all of which are worth looking at.
-
Quite simply, it's the prices that keep me from going to Fir Park every home game.
Especially with the way things are work-wise these days.
£20 is simply too steep.

Fuck it, im confident. Saving my money and annual leave for our third round clash with Roma!
Thats the spirit!
I'll just be watching it in the house I reckon.
Any pubs going to be showing it in the Motherwell/Wishaw area?

When the subject of television revenue was brought up, I actually wonder if it would make such a huge difference to us?
The deal that was signed in 2008 with Setanta was for a rumoured £125 million over 4 seasons (£31.25 million per season), which we shall go with for arguments sake.
It was reported when the original deal was signed in 2004 that the top two teams in the SPL would recieve 32% (£10 million) of the total money between them, so the OF take 16% of the cash every year whilst the rest get around 6.8% each.
That leaves 68% of the money (£21.25 million) to be shared out between the remaining 10 teams, which would work out at around £2.1 million each if the money is distributed equally, although I think it increases slightly for the teams higher up the table and decreases for the teams at the bottom.
Would an SPL without the OF not be able to find a television deal worth around £20 million per season?

At the end of the day, someone has to finish in 7th, it just so happens that this year it's our turn.
It could be worse, we could be fighting relegation. Would that please everyone? At least the games would mean something then.
We finished third last season, which was excellent. We haven't managed to do as well again this season, but thats just how it goes.
We should use the rest of the games to bring in some young lads who McGhee thinks could step up to the main squad next season.
We got some good news with the season ticket prices & the Cooper stand, and we can look forward to another game with Accies, and maybe even a few decent youngsters getting a crack at the first team that otherwise wouldn't have.
It could be worse. We could be in Falkirks position.
I'd bet their fans would happily swap positions with us and face a load of "meaningless" games for the rest of the season.
Rather than stay at home in the weekends to come, why not shock the shit out of everyone at the club and show that the support will be there even if we aren't challenging for third place?
-
Stick behind the team and you never know.
Stick behind the team anway i'd say.
If someone's wanting to support a team who will be competing for trophies at the end of most seasons then surely Motherwell wouldn't be the best choice?
The seasons not over. We have to get top 6.
After that, it's all about finishing as high up the league as we can.

Yes just last week Marky boy was telling us about how he dreamt of leading the Well out
at Hampden park now it appears that last nights result will haunt him forever.
Give us a break Mark don't treat us like idiots.
Is it just me, or does this post make no sense?
Surely if McGhee was dreaming of leading the team out at Hampden, a bad performance and defeat which cost him that dream would bother him?
-
It is still possible that we can reach 5th place. That would be enough for European football next season. All we need to garauntee that is an old firm final or at least the winner already being in the top 4.
I never knew that. Surely such a combination has a good chance of happening?
That changes things as far as the importance of the rest of our season goes for me then!
-
Yeah, Brighton would be a step down from Motherwell, plus they aren't as big as jobs he's been linked with, and even turned down, in the past.
If he leaves us, i'd hope it was for a bigger club (Chelsea maybe?
) -
Just wanted someone else to agree with me so if it all goes tits up, he has more than just me to blame!!
If it all goes pear-shaped tell him to fire a foul mouthed tirade to my pm box, which I will promptly answer upon returning home from watching the game in the comfort of the pub
-
I don't think there'll be a late influx of people going to the game on the spur of the moment.
Most will just settle with it being on the telly or in the pub.
Saying that, it looks like a healthy crowd, especially considering the time of week and the telly coverage, so your best to maybe get along quite early.

Couldn't agree more.
It may not be worth much to the OF, what with them rubbing shoulders with Europes finest every 2nd Wednesday or so, but it's still the league cup to me.
I certainly wouldn't knock back a good run in it.
