wellsince75 Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 I was delighted we brought him on loan and he was one of the very few positive players under Hammel . He’s a very decent footballer and will likely go to a bigger club than us . Appears he isn’t rated sufficiently mixed with not fitting current formation .

dennyc Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 I’m not so sure he isn’t rated by Kettlewell. I would like to have seen him given more game time, yes, but I can understand why it has not happened so far. Kettlewell had a job to do and devised a structure that suited the players at his disposal AND got us out of the mire. Until Saturday we were not mathematically safe and we were not coasting in many of the games we did win. So I can understand why Kettlewell stuck to a tried and tested formula. When he got the job Kettlewell stated that he had to work with the squad he had and that might mean a formation/ style of play that was not entirely his first choice moving forward. Playing Butcher at Centre Back was not his preferred option either, but it worked so he stuck with it. As for playing McKinstry rather than Spittal during that spell. Not for me. But maybe Kettlewell could find a formation that would get the best out of both players. Given a pre season and without the need for a rescue act from game one. With a different squad it might open up other options that would better suit McKinstry. If not, he moves on with my best wishes and thanks.

cambo97 Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Could we afford him? 3-4 years development fees to Leeds, is a fair bit more than 3-4 years at Motherwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there won't be a transfer fee, but depending on the interest he sees in the summer there could be sizeable wages and a signing-on fee, which may put him outside our reach. That's if the manager even wants to bring him in. It could just be that he's a very good player who isn't suited to our side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or not as good as player as some on here think and SK does not think he would improve the team we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 He will end up Saint Motherwell more than likely screams a Robbo player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
