That doesn't exactly rule him out though.

That's a prerequisite before we even consider signing him.

Don’t worry folks. I’m off out to buy my Texas mega millions lottery winning ticket. A cool $1.15 billion. I’ll send a few bob Motherwell’s way. 

Did I ever say how much I was in favour of external investment?

Happy to support your nomination as Chairman! 

😉😉😉

Re the alleged defensive midfielder. I saw someone over on P&B mention Jordan McGhee at Dundee.

He isnt someone Ive paid particular attention to, but I spoke to a Dundee supporting mate who said he is one they would be hoping to extend as he can play a number of positions.

Sounds like the kind of utility player that SK likes.

Apparently he is from East Kilbride, so maybe looking to move closer to home?

You might just have opened up a can of worms there.

Bloody rich americans, thinking they can buy our club for peanuts......

[wellfan]

I still find it surreal that McMahon, Dickie and Feely tried to flog the club to that snake oil salesman.

Sad news. Dreams are in tatters. They didn’t sell me the winning ticket.

Our club is run by amateurs. It's been 10 mins since you withdrew your funding and not a word from the society board. Oot their depth, the lot of them !

I think we need to know the Well Society's proposals for getting their hands on the winning ticket! Surely they have one?

I was the backup plan, but the machine also gave me the wrong ticket.

Wunderwell is quite right to withhold the identity of our possible signing. I understand his/her reasoning and would do exactly the same. Checking out some of the obvious possible sources, I've come up with 2 names Craig Sibbald and Joe Newell. Sibbald is relatively small at 5-7 and so I'll plump for Newell. The news that SK is is looking to strengthen this position is very encouraging. We need at least 2 new signings next month.

Fuck Me , Sibbald should be a no based purely on that cunt of a haircut alone..

I kinda agree with this.

Ive not enjoyed watching Miller the same way I enjoyed watching Turnbull, albeit Miller probably has a higher ceiling now.

I think its due to the circumstances you describe. Turnbull was the right player at the right time.

With Miller, we can see he is a generational talent and needs to play. But I dont think we have got the best out of him or the team.

Its why I hope we are able to keep him to the summer. With the players that are going to become available between now and end of season, I think he will be able to showcase his talents more fully.

 

We are wasting him with our style of play, he'd be better off going.

So out of contract players who can sign a pre contract for someone in Jan are:-

Paul Mcginn

Aston Oxborough

Shane Blaney

Ross Callachan

Dan Casey

Moses Ebiye

Harry Paton

Callum Slattery

Davor Zdravkovski

 

Who if any would you try to extend their stay?

For me, Mcginn, Casey, Ox should be kept.

Callachan has been a total waste of a wage!!!!!

Ox is signed till May 27

[Kmcalpin]

Mcginn - + 1 year option (not sure on whose side)

Ox  - signed until at least 2027

Blaney OOC don't renew.

Callachan OOC  don't renew.

Casey OOC renew on same or slightly reduced terms

Ebiye OOC don't renew

Paton OOC definitely renew

Slattery OOC ? assess next 6 months

Davor  OOC don't renew

The Ox is not an issue as San says. Of the others, I'd only really want to retain Harry Paton.

You're right!!!!!!!!

I took the copy and paste from the SUN so should have checked 🤣

Slattery has been paid enough for nothing and spent more time on his arse than anything else before his injury I wouldnt look to be keeping him. McGinn, Ox, Paton renew, the rest can all go.

In the 10 league matches Lennon Miller missed last season, Slattery played in 9 of them and we didn't win a single one of them.

In the 17 league matches Callum Slattery missed last season, Miller played in 16 of them and we won 6 of them.  That's out of 10 league wins last season.

I think that kind of sums up what either player brings to the table and how essential they are.

I’d keep Casey

Write out 100 times “I should never believe what I read in The Sun cause it’s all shite”

[Mad Dog]

Callaghan can go right now.

I'd offer extentions to McGinn, Casey, Ox, Ebiye and Paton.

Slattery should be given the chance to earn an extention. Davor has done well at times but I'd like to think that we can find a more effective defensive midfielder.

I'd also offer Watt a contract and see if he's willing to take a pay cut to come back. The other loans can go home.

[wellfan]

Is Maswanhise only on a short-term deal until January or was that extended and I've missed it? If not, he should be offered an 18-month deal, at least, come January. 

[wellfan]

I think we will/should offer terms to McGinn (another year), Paton (2-years), Casey (2-years), Slattery (short-term deal) and Watt (1-year). And JT, as I said above.

That sounds pretty reasonable . They are all decent footballers - the more quality we can retain the better .
