    Don't you not think there are good players in our championship?

    After the European results this week, I'd say the Belgian and most European leagues are well above ours.

    I can’t think of any championship players who’d be a standout player in the premiership?

    without doubt the top leagues in places like Belgium and Netherlands etc are better than the SPL. Certainly 3/4 of the teams are.
    I’m not sure the leagues below in these countries are much better though?

    i still hope this guy is good though, it could be a good move for us and him. 👍

  2. Welcome RCC

    I sort of remember him with County and thought he looked ok as far as I remember but I’m not getting the huge excitement about it? The team he came from in Belgium are in the lower reaches of the 2nd division are they not? Level wise it’d be our championship probably?

    anyway, I’m hoping for the best and it gives us some more attacking options 

  3. Maybe I was wrong? Just saw this? 

    #There’s no confirmation from any official source that Motherwell received any money from Cardiff related to Turnbull’s departure

    Not sure what the score would be then for Johnston? Just seemed weird that Derby people were going on about fees due to Motherwell.

    15% of what? The total fee or the total fee minus what Sturm Graz paid us. In David Turnbull's case we received nought from Celtic in an add on as they didn't make a profit on him. 

    Are you sure about that? I thought we got a % of the £2m Cardiff paid for him? 
    I don’t think the capital gains style thing your talking about applies to add on deals?

    I suppose we’ll fine out when the accounts go in.

  5. Rumour mill going mad about Max Johnston going to Derby for £1.5m, also Celtic now interested due to their Canadian fullback potentially out a while.

    a derby contact said the deal was getting agreed and that Motherwell were getting 15% add on?? A few folk replied to the guy saying that he was out of contract so Motherwell wouldn’t be entitled to anything (that was my take as well) however this person seems in the know and said Motherwell had concluded a deal prior to his contact expiring and Sturm Graz signed up to it to guarantee his signature.

    if that’s the case someone at Motherwell needs a gold medal.

    I'm not surprised SOD has been doing OK under the new system. For all his faults, he was always comfortable with the ball at his feet and could pick out a man with a pass.

    I went for Just, though, who must have covered about 10 miles yesterday.

    Was ODonnell captain yesterday? Have I missed that he’s taken over the captaincy from McGinn?
    he’s been doing really well, long may it continue. In the words of yogi hughes “he’s a gid big honest laddie.”

    Wimmer was constrained by the fact he arrived when the season was in full swing, and didn't have a preseason to instill his style into the players. As a result, compromises had to be made to balance his new philosophy with avoiding relegation and winning games.

    What is true, I think, is that his ideas prepared the squad for JBA, so they already had an idea of what was required to play this way.

    I think the powers at be have did well with the JBA appointment, I know it’s early but I get a better vibe from him that he’s here for the long haul than I did with Wimmer. I liked Wimmer, he seemed a genuinely good guy but I’m not sure whether it was his grasp of English or demeanour but I never felt he looked that comfortable here.

    JBA looks comfortable, he’s clearly got ambition to do well here, his teams play nice football, his English is phenomenally good, he talks up the support and overall I don’t see any negatives from him so far.
    Would we have taken over 1000 fans to Perth yesterday under Kettlewell……. That’s a NO!!
