  1. 3/28 goals against from former players. Clearly former players don't make up anything close to that proportion of our opposition.
  2. Another former player scoring. Livi only 7 points behind as it stands.
  3. We should definitely try and bring Murphy back in the summer.
  4. The fees there don't seem that accurate. We got less than a million for Kipre and there is no way we got 400k up front for McKinstry. And the fact that it is listing £1.5m for Scott when it's 1m is ridiculous. Most of the players in the second group contributed to 2nd place finishes and European qualification. The players in the first group achieved nothing or very little. Bringing in transfer fees is no doubt great if you are employed by the club and are looking for a wage rise. If you are paying to watch the team on the park we have definitely been weakened this month.
  5. It was 900k for McCulloch and 550k for McMillan.
  6. When McCulloch was the same age he had scored two goals. He didn't actually kick on as a first team player until he was 21. The fee is closer to what we paid for McSkimming than what we received for McCulloch.
  7. I didn't think we should sack Robinson over the Oldham player but that we should ensure no one was behaving like that at Fir Park. There is no point in being in denial that we are likely to be looking for a new manager before the end of the season.
  8. It's a terrible fee to accept. In 2001 we got 900k from Wigan in League One for Lee McCulloch. Using the BoE inflation calculator that's £1.5m today. So basically we've sold Scott for 2/3rds of the McCulloch fee which is an utter joke. Burrows is lucky that most of our support won't realise this and think £1m in 2020 is the same as £1m in the 90s. He was banging on about phoning fans in the podcast so I'll await a call or text to explain this! The only reason to sell now would be to strengthen the squad and instead we have signed another absolute no hoper. Robinson pushing Ndjoli as a striking option after starting MacIver in front of him is another slap in the face but to be fair he has other things on his mind. The bottom line is we have weakened our squad this window when we are going for third, Europe and still in the cup. We have scored two goals from open play in the last 6 league games. We needed to strengthen if we have any ambition.
  9. Campbell's already had a wage bump this season. If he wants another one he'll have to add more to his game.
  10. The amount of money we will have wasted on him he should have at least got a shot off the bench to see if he has anything. I've heard that he has an attitude problem but I've also seen him out and about with other players and he seems to happily engage with fans. I'm guessing it's an issue between him and our angry manger and it's easier to freeze him out if the fans never see him play. Robinson doesn't want another Bigi situation.
  11. It'll be a serious kick in the stones if we don't get anyone in. I'm sad to see Scott go. I don't think he was too far away from bringing his game together and was hobbled a bit by having Grimmy behind him and Long inside him neither of whom are comfortable with the concept of passing a football. He's been by far our most enjoyable player to watch this season.
  12. Great to see us knock back a poor bid for Scott. If he starts hitting the net regularly with the rest of his attributes he will be worth a Turnbull level fee. He just needs a bit more composure in front of goal and better players around him (Turnbull and the striker we are surely signing today).
  13. Get in early, don't try and hold seats. Easy.
  14. It'll be an absolute clusterfuck of steamers trying to find seats at 2 minutes to 3 and arguments about people reserving seats for their mates which should be entertaining.
  15. He can play when Chris Long is injured.
  16. Hastie can't play for another team this season anyway. I'd happily have him back in the future and Robinson said the same on the podcast.
  17. I think it's more likely that Wigan get him off the wage bill and Doncaster pay him until the end of the season. Why would anyone pay Wigan for a player they were desperate to get rid of?
  18. There is no way Doncaster paid a fee then only signed him until the end of the season. The undisclosed fee will be £0.00.
  19. Rangers are much easier proposition without mad Morelos. We well in the game at Ibrox when they had Defoe up front.
  20. That was a good performance but we had no cutting edge and nothing in the final third other than Scott. If we go to Livingston without a new striker it will be very disappointing.
  21. A bold team selection. This is hopefully the day for Ilic to kick-start his Motherwell career.
  22. I'd be happy with MacIver in for Long given the options available.
  23. Play the better player. If Turnbull is back on last season's form that's him.
