I don't think it works as well if you have a few million in the bank and are pulling in 40 grand a week for the next 60 weeks.

We are better off with him out injured than walking about on the park. I don't see him being match fit anytime this season. He has too much weight to lose.

Spacious sleeves on that top!

We should be offering him a first team wage. If the club play the poverty card here after wasting so much money this season questions will need to be asked.

Tait played on the wrong side all last year as well and full backs contribute to going forward as much as defence these days.

Saying he will be on a normal wage for a Motherwell striker is surely more likely than saying it could be 100 quid a week

We will be paying Sammon a decent wage by our standards. I just don't have any faith in the manager who picked the team that goes us knocked out the cup. And why he keeps on playing an unfit McCormack is completely beyond me. A few wins over absolute bottom six dross doesn't change that especially as it has been mainly down to academy products. We will see how we do against the better sides.

Two keepers and three centre backs there. He was reluctant to play Tanner until he had to (see also Turnbull and Campbell). The jury is still out on Gorrin until he plays some better teams and Johnson is a dud. The issues are that we haven't had a left back in two years and he doesn't seem capable of signing anyone who can make an impact in the final third.

The question about Robinson now is will his fifth transfer window be any better than his first four? Can the man who thought Connor Sammon was a legitimate signing bring in the players we need this summer......

I would have Frear in ahead of Ayiribi at the moment but for next season it would be good to have a fully fit Tanner or another player like him and Hastie who are comfortable coming inside and getting involved rather than a touchline hugger like Frear who can be nullified by a decent full back. Frear has never really turned up against the better teams in the league but he has a chance to do that in the next run of games.

He's only scored two league goals in two years.

He has a contract for next season and i'd say it's the right decision. Given that 80% of the players we sign seem to be absolutely hopeless and unable to pass the ball gambling on a technically gifted player is worth it.

I'd say Carson. He's better on corners/crosses and his kicking is much better. The answer is probably the one that will sign an extension.

I'd bring in Livingstone for this one. Put Tait back to right back and see how it goes in what is one of our simpler fixtures before the split. Hopefully Scott gets game time through the middle as well.

Tanner would be great in the current set up playing with Hastie and Turnbull. I expect him to be here next season to give pre season a go and try to kickstart his career.

You think we tried to play football on the deck at Livi?

We should be doing everything we can to get Aldred signed up regardless of anything else.

Hopefully he can pass the medical. Aldred, Dunne, McHugh and Donnelly is plenty cover for centre half until the end of the season.

Hartley hasn't been fit for 12 months and doesn't exactly look like he is training hard now. If we can get him off the wage bill it would be a smart move.

There is zero chance of McGhee and Ronnie McDonald working together. It will be someone who will keep their mouth shut and their head down.

I'd start Frear and Hastie. Frear made a difference on Saturday while Ayiribi was poor.

Main looks like a man under pressure. He's barely scored all season, has been in and out the team and is out of contract in the summer. He is obviously thinking he needs a few goals to get a deal somewhere and it seems to be affecting his game.

I'd like to hear him say "Eddie May was shite for Motherwell".

The keeper was in a terrible position. Campbell should have put his foot through it, worst case a by kick. He managed to run it out for a throw which is comically bad.

Misread that. Burrows will be judged on how he invested our cup finals windfall so the jury will be out for a while.
