Stevie73 Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Not long left in the window and we desperately need a CB, DMF and a CF, hopefully 3 in before the middle of the week or it’s going to be a massive task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stv Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I think Stevie will know exactly what he needs. Whether he gets it is a different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Indications last week were that we would have another one or two coming in. We should find out soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfc Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'm happy enough with that,a player that can actually go past the opposition,he's definitely an upgrade on the likes of shields and efford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shields beat his man when he set up the goal at Aberdeen. The biggest issue with him, however, is that we have players in the team that want to launch in high balls to him instead of playing it on the deck behind the defence where he can run on to them. He's much faster than most Premiership defenders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can keep Aarons fit and get some actual service into the middle then KVV will thrive off of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Shields different player altogether playing through middle thats where he scores goals.In a two with KVV i think that would work. On the Aarons signing i hope to god we have another forward coming in and not playing a 4-3-3 cause we are not get any goals either side of KVV anytime soon.8 minutes football last season,not injured hardly in a squad about 6 times on the bench doesn't really fill me with shits and giggles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Aarons and McKinstry are really positive signings if we can get the best out of them, but we still need another capable first-team striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Not too enthused by this signing. I wasn’t that impressed with him pre-covid and he has barely kicked a ball since. Pointless signing imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coatsy Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Hope it works out i think the support are underwhelmed because he's been here already, and is not a new name, can't remember much about his first time here don't think he made much of an impact.

Spit_It_Out Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Just been having a gander at his stats which tells me he mostly plays on the left wing which is puzzling me more about this signing. So this is his career stats to date LW 52 games 8 goals 4 assists RW 36 games 2 goals 3 assists I love being wrong when it comes to Motherwell I really hope I am with this one.Season loan signing I would have went 6 months maximum.

Spiderpig Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Aarons is a punt, as is Penny, McKinstry and just about every player we sign, some turn out well others don't but that's how we operate without having wads of cash and blowing the wage structure to sign proven and established players who all cost lots more than we can afford. As ever I will judge them on how they perform and not before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a cheerleader and nor am I the/one of the individuals in charge of our social media publications making wee reels about our signings or filtering party hats onto players heads. I just wasn’t impressed by Aarons when I saw him here before and in the two and a half years since then he has barely played. I don’t see what he will bring to the team.

wellsince75 Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Hope it works out. If SH is thinking we need width up each side rather than playing Efford/Shields the shape of the team at least makes sense. Don't really remember much about the last time with us, which I can empathise with others equates to feeing meh but openminded and hope this works out. Having a couple of pacey wingers on each flank to serve up the goods sounds good, as long as they are of the right quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggischomper Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Hope we have Autoglass on the blower as he appears to be made of glass. Good luck to the fella though, certainly has plenty of pace which we need. Not the type of signing I was expecting, though. Still feel we are powder puff up front.

In fairness to him he didn’t really get much of a chance to properly impress the last time as he signed on the January deadline day in 2020 and the season was cut short six or seven weeks later. The closest he came to impressing me was being thwarted by an incredible one handed save by Fraser Forster in a 0-4 defeat against Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Let's at least give him a chance, no idea how he will do but I will give him time. Folk had Spittal written off and he has got 1 goal and 3 assists already.. COYW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFCL84 Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Like most on here, this isn't a signing that has me jumping for joy. Part of that is likely because he has been at Fir Park before and didn't set the Heather alight. However, SH will know what he is getting and will know how he will fit into the way that he wants his team to play. So, I'll push the reset and start with a clean slate for him, wish him all the best in his return to Fir Park and hope that things work out well for him.
