thewelllfan Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago 5 hours ago, MelvinBragg said: By my maths, it's 20 without those three but I'm including Dylan Wells and Luca Ross in that. To have a squad of 20 and still feel short in so many positions (full back, midfield, up front) is a concern. Too many defenders that probably won't be first picks (Balmer, Koutroumbis, one of O'Donnell or McGinn), and too many players in other areas that we almost don't count as options because they have contributed so little for various reasons (Nicholson, Stuperavic are the obvious ones). Basically my thoughts are that while 20 isn't a huge squad, it feels unbalanced and it still to me feels that there are too many players who may not contribute a lot over the season... Yeah hadn't included Ross or Wells in that number but if you do it's 20 + the 3 I think will get offered deals that's 23. Not leaving much room to bring in players initially. Can actually see Luca Ross getting used as a Wing Back in this formation and Wells might get minutes in the 2 positions behind the striker in the current formation. As I've said earlier on this I'd be trying to shift Koutrombis, SOD, Nicholson, Stuperavic and obviously we'll sell Miller for a decent fee. We need to add pace and power to our squad in all areas to play at the intensity the manager wants. This summer we probably need to look at adding 7/8 Players for me: 2 CBs, a LWB, 2 CMs , 2 Forwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bucked the trend a bit by bringing Wimmer in, more clubs should do the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago I don't think the pre contracts are strong enough to need any clauses, they've been broken before. Ketsbaias agent is really putting in the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted on his Instagram which the club re-shared saying something along the lines of "Excited for what the future holds" Obviously could stay but from that sounds like he's offski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I noticed there is a footballer called Liam Motherwell who is currently without club. Come on, give him a contract! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
