It’s not that I doubt his commitment or ability. I just don’t think he’s the big, commanding centre forward we need (e.g. Bair or KVV). That said, maybe JBA can get more out of him this season, especially if we play a 4-3-3 with proper wingers to support him. Still, I suspect the manager will look to bring in a more physically dominant striker. Ultimately, I can’t see Stama still being here by the third year of his contract, especially if this season mirrors the last.

Your "proper wingers" are currently tawa and luca/stuparevic? and maybe if were lucky nicholson (do see him more as a bench warmer this season) 

I do however think that if stama does stay fit this season he will more than likely end up playing as a SS to whoever our main man upfront may be

Maswanhise definitely fits that mould on the left, but with this being Luca Ross’ first season in the first team and Nicholson likely set for another season on the physio table, we clearly need to bring in more attacking options.

And you’re probably right about Stama being a second striker option.

Pretty much agree with that although I'm not sure what kind of player Stuparevic is as I haven't seen him play much. Didn't have him down as a winger though.

When you become the manager you can then decide whether to keep the sod , but until then the Donnell detractors will have to grin and bear . I don't  weaknesses and the defence was the major problem in the season just ended and that included the sod on multiple occasions . And if you ever become the manager then God help us.

I won't be the manager ever. So no need to dig me out eh. I'm entitled to my opinion the same as everyone else. 

I pay my money to see Motherwell the same as everyone else.

From what i remember he seemed a bit small to be the striker wed be looking for but does have a bit of pace and decent dribbling about him which would make him the he'll do candidate til the manager brings someone more suited to the position

It’s good to have different styles of strikers, or players for that matter. That was one of the things I really like when McAll was the manager. We had so many attacking weapons that defenses couldn’t nullify them all.  Higdon, Ojamma, Humphrey, Law, Faddy.

Agreed. You need a good mix of strikers. From the little I've seen Stuparevic seems quite nippy but not particularly physical or tricky. A poor man's Jack Vale?? That said we haven't seen much of him to really assess his style.
