superward

I watched about 60 mins of it. To be honest neither really got much action on the ball at all. Full team were chasing shadows really. Souttar, of Hearts, crowing it off with a sending off and conceding a late penalty.

Higgy chat for the formers player thread I suggest.

Seems to be a FIFA approved thing that is being moved towards. FA cup in England doing it also.

Blyth has played around 40 minutes of football, off the bench, over 3 games and been carrying an injury (https://twitter.com/Blythy9/status/769515221010489344). I'll reserve judgement for just a wee bit longer yet.....

Tom about to sign for Dundee - https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/dundee-set-tie-tom-hateley-deal/?

Indeed....with the bold Craig Reid also.

Well done Joe. Was not his biggest fan, as I have posted on here, but he has had a solid start to the season and looks like the run in thr team and confidence he is getting from it is doing the world of good. All power to him.

Shame Cadds did not get on. Henderson probably the pick of the bunch.

Aye its not clear really on a quick read. Mentions a tribunal related to the wage thing. But also development compo in the section below. Anyway...he is still here. Haha. Hopefully gets on in the u21s tonight.

From memory on the Lee Erwin conversation when going to Leeds, I think it's something like 50/60k per year of training from the age of 12 up to 23. Not sure salary comes into it though. Could be wrong.

Jack Leitch just signed up with Airdrie.

Except Johnson had 2 years to go and chucked the toys out the pram.

Yeah, I did see that initially. However, Described as a winger on the official site and McGhee quoted saying "forward player who can play through the middle or on the flanks"

We need options off the bench up front, and if we are playing 3 strikers. Then ideally we need 4 or 5 in total I would think....now we have them in Moult, Bowman, Skippy, Blyth and Mackin. Seems fine to me given the 'new' formation McGhee is talking about.

More on Johnson fee: "The transfer was undisclosed, but is thought to have exceeded the £470,000 paid for Dean Windass in 1998." http://m.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/14715643.Marvin_Johnson_impressed_with_Oxford_United_s_determination_to_do_deal/ Here is The Sun link, saying 650k: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/motherwell/7231081/Marvin-Johnson-in-650k-switch-to-Oxford-United.html

As mentioned - McGhee quoted saying that by having Bowman we can now play 4-3-3 which has brought success in the past. We now also have more decent options from the bench Say an 11 of... Samson Tait Heneghan Mick Hammell Cadden McHugh Clay Bowman Skippy Moult Ainsworth, Belic, Blyth, Las, Chalmers, Thomas, Kennedy all pushing to play or actually playing instead of others. Promising youngsters such as a Campbell Mackin, Ferguson, McLean and a few others also emerging. Seems a decent squad with options and balance.

Good promising signing in the mould of Johnson and Moult. Look forward to seeing him play.

Don't panic...

We have had quite a few decent exciting last minute windows over the last week while.

All of our remaining squad are gentlemen

Pawlett really is a bit of twat. But a good player.

On thr undisclosed thing...when Clarky signed for Bristol it was undisclosed. That fee was c£800k. It'seems not always a negative. Just an agreement between clubs for varying reasons.

Fee and contract agreed for a new player. Going through registration now.

Have heard 450k + add ons from a very very decent source.
