It is about ambition and speculating. A proven goal scorer for a few grand extra that we could make back by place in table and cup run. Have also money from players we sold wilkinon and Turnbull. 

He goes into the dressing room where everyone knows he's on 7k a week while they're on less than half that.

Not exactly a motivator.

Killie will probably be in the top 6 on current form so we play them on Saturday then don't have to give him a second thought after that.

I would imagine if it's us against Ross county or at Johnston. Van veen would be the difference. Look at the draws we had against them.

We can't afford his wages, if the figures quoted are anywhere near accurate. I have no problem with that. 

He promised Groningen 30 goals this season. There are no guarantees.

If your happy with bottom 6 and avoiding Killie. It's not too ambitious. He was our player of the year.

I actually don't agree we couldn't afford his wage. On £7 grand a week it would cost £150,000 until season end. I don't have any doubt we could find that type of money but should we with the inherent risks .. no , not for me.

What if he gets injured in his first training session? (I realise this can happen with any signing but if you're paying that much a week its a massive gamble)

Also how do the other players feel knowing the big mental Dutch guy in the corner is on 3 times more than them and he looks half arsed half the time

Stick a league table up on the wall for them to look at?

Show them a video highlights of the season?

I'm guessing the players we have know they are shite but if any of them are struggling with the concept it would be easy enough to explain it.

To be honest if that's the best we can sign we should not be in the Premier League. Total farce of a club. No CEO, no money, a hard core support of about 4000. To think we used to be a credible force in Scotland. Those days are gone and will not return.

You're not obligated to the team

Totally agree. It's not a ridiculous gamble. It's what we could make from I firm match in cup or a couple of league places. We getn TV cup money too. It wouldn't break the bank. My son and I do disappointed we didn't get van veen.

Why spend £150,000 on a striker who scores goals when you can spend it on three wingbacks on 6 month deals?

That could certainly work as long as he delivers. If he doesn't, very different story.

How do you define 'a credible force in Scotland'?

Not happy with it but it's where we are and is what it is and no point losing any sleep over it.

Another poster coming out of the woodwork to slag off Motherwell. Funny that. 

Seen more Motherwell games than you have  had hot dinners. Was a season ticket holder for 25 years. No longer. You probably don't remember what a good Motherwell team looks like.
