For me, too young to have seen Willie Hunter, the comparison I have to make is Bobby Russell. Both look like a strong breeze would knock them over, have an excellent touch and can glide past people like they're not there...

He previously got fined and suspended for accusing referees of match fixing. In what world could he take a Motherwell team to Ibrox or Parkhead..?

Not a chance. We haven't given a nutter the keys to the car since Jim Gannon...

Heard from an Arbroath fan in Antalya airport last night that we're apparently in discussions with Dunfermline over Neil Lennon...

I think Ryan Lowe was mentioned around the tirne of one of our previous appointments (Wimmer, Kettlewell or even Hammell, can't remember which). I seem to remember the talk his wage demands were prohibitive...

Jens wasn't appointed til 12th June last year and he had a major rebuild on his hands. I'd rather we took our time and got it right..

I suspect that Dundee United in general pay much more than us as well although I gather they've blown a fair amount so may be cutting back a bit...

I think that's been people's concerns with Jens leaving. We don't want last season to be referred to in years to come as "remember that season we tried to play attractive, passing football that everyone raved about?". The positive is that the noises coming out of the club suggest that they don't want that either....

We didn't appoint Jens until June 12th and we had a fair few bodies to try and get in last season in order to get a workable eleven. Seven weeks later we outplayed Rangers. The framework is in place this season...

There will also be those not good enough for ligue 1 that might do a job in the SPL...

French was easier to learn than Aberdonian...

Never mind McGinn, trying to tell me Ralston deserves to be there ahead of O'Donnell..?

Different positions but he's taking two right backs (Ralston and Patterson) that have barely played all season.... In Miller's position, you couldn't really justify picking him ahead of Gilmour, Christie, McGinn, McTominay or Ferguson. And Kenny McLean was always going. You imagine a new manager post World Cup will see a freshening up. Whether that helps Miller or not, time will tell...

We do badly need cover at left back...

Going to go for Priestman. Great player. So much so that I wouldn't bat an eyelid if Fadinger or Watt were on the bench and he started next week..
