Bowman was great for us, no nonsense front man put himself and his elbows about a bit I liked him.
Yeah, I liked his style too. Wonder how he'd cope with VAR, right enough.

Talking of Moult and Lewis, I see Ryan Bowman was released by Shrewsbury Town. And no, I'm not.

We would lose to Airdrie, home or away, nothing surer.
I can think of one thing that's surer....

Yes, but my question is, why re-sign so quickly with a club where you've only played two games in two years? Wouldn't it make more sense to consider moving somewhere else where you could also be a backup, but perhaps closer to home? Maybe a place where the manager sees your potential and might even give you a shot at the first team, even if you start out as a backup?
It's a weird situation.
I was surprised Oxborough was offered a new deal and signed it, but on reflection, it's probably not that weird. It may seem like he's made a quick decision on his future but he has no doubt seen Kelly's departure coming for some time, given most of us did. He must have known how difficult it would be to shift the club captain and regular member of the Scotland squad from the starting line-up, and in general, the patience levels of goalkeepers are probably much higher than those of outfield players. We have no idea what Kettlewell's told him re his plans for next season, though I doubt he's said you have no chance of becoming number 1. As for moving closer to home, who knows, maybe he actually likes it here.

If he a free transfer would be Motherwell should be seeing if we can get him
Why should we be after him?

I don't subscribe to this paper so could someone give a brief overview of his comments please?
He thinks he's capable of playing in the Premier League, so he isn't flattered by any interest from there. He might stay at Raith, he might not. No mention of Motherwell, or anyone else, from Easton, just mentioned as a rumour in the article.
-
Joe Lewis makes as much sense as the Stefan Scougall rumour did. Why would we be after a 36 year old who - unless I've missed something - hasn't played for a year and was never that good in the first place?
-
Know he wasn't everyone's favourite, but I always liked him when he was here.

But I wasn't talking about Butcher being offered terms. I was commenting on "wellgirls" attempts to justify why Kettlewell had offered them to Mugabi.
My apologies. Must be time for a drink.

What "logic" are you trying to justify 🤷♂️
I'm not trying to justify anything. But if a guy like Tommy McLean chose to stick a player who could hardly move on the bench for a cup final, then actually bring him on when the game was still in the balance, anything's possible.
Kettlewell obviously has a lot of time for Butcher. Maybe saying he chose not to accept our offer seemed a nicer parting of the ways. If anyone knows what that offer was, fair enough, I'd be interested to hear the details.

For me ........ yes
But not for everyone, which still defies logic.

Mugabi played at the heart of the defence in the away wins against Rangers and Hearts and the draw at Celtic Park. He was immense in all three games. There is no way we are going to sign two better players for that central role. People want to talk about errors but he made far fewer stupid errors this season than McGinn or SOD.
If Bevis stays we are looking at needing a new player for the central position and someone better than Blaney for the left hand side.
I think it's pretty clear now that Kettlewell has no intention of overhauling the team and is scared to sign players because he know's he not up to the task.
I agree re Mugabi, but not with the scared to sign players bit. Bringing Bair here took some balls.

I appreciate we're on a fans forum and it's all conjecture, but if Kettlewell thinks like that he's in the wrong job. Decisions based on sentiment like that are what costs managers their jobs. No room for this kind of "birthday caird pish" in football 😉.
Even in cup finals.....?

Dear Christ we've offered Mugabi another contract. What a waste of limited funds. I know it's all opinions and others will think different. My only hope he refuses and gets a better offer.
If he's seen as a squad player, not first choice, and the offer reflects that, fair enough. As others have said in the past, the quality of any player willing to sit on the Motherwell bench will not be that great. Dare say a few on the under contract and made offers lists won't be here in August.
-
Pretty much what I would've expected, but Oxborough really surprises me. Wonder if he'll get a shot at becoming number 1?
-
I just don't get the Raith Rovers thing, whether it be Easton, Vaughan, Brown or Dubrowski. The outfield players are all 30 or thereabouts and have very little to absolutely no Premier League experience. I haven't seen anything to suggest they'd cut it at this level on a regular basis. As for Dubrowski, I know we're looking for a keeper who'll come off his line, but he was very lucky not to sell a goal with a brainfart charge out his box last night.

Let's hope that this is just an off night for Easton, have seen nothing to suggest he's good enough...
Has anyone actually seen anything saying he's coming here?

U never know what yer getting as last season proved
Also true, you can never be certain of any signing, but sometimes there are wee clues or lessons to be learned. A guy approaching his mid 30s who is repeatedly out with the same 'niggling' problem - sounds familiar.

True. But do you know what we'd be getting?

I would hope we have asked if Hutchison would be interested on a return to Fir Park . If you don’t ask you don’t get
15 games, last start on New Year's Day, 34 in November. There would be an awful lot of questions needing answered if we were interested in Hutchison.

*Kevin van Veen’s agent likes this post.*
How do you say “Hey Kev, you know those mugs Motherwell yeah? Well there’s already some posts on their biggest online fans forum begging them to bring you back so you can recreate your purple patch from your previous spell there” in Dutch? 🤔
No idea, but the Dutch word for one is een, if that helps.

Bobby Russell was on the radio last week, punting his new book. Said he had the choice of MacDonald & Jardine at Hearts or McLean & Forsyth with us when Rangers wanted rid of him, and he was heading to Tynecastle before the deal fell through. Apparently, both clubs offered him the same money.
