grizzlyg Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 3 Yr deal and certainly a lot of potential. I wonder if we will be looking to move Halliday on as chances seem more limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think for all the errors on Saturday Ward made a couple of very decent saves to keep us from losing I like Ward. You can see he's vocal and an organiser of the defense and he's also comfortable with the ball at his feet. My only issue is he reminds me very much of Kelly. Not the tallest, weak at cross balls and generally reluctant to come off his line. Ox was flying before his last injury. I'd be more than happy to see him back between sticks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Haven’t seen him at all and so have no idea if he’s the type of player that would benefit us or not. Like most people are saying, regardless of how good Rice is, I’d much rather use our resources to get a starting centre back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most people are saying, regardless of how good Rice is, I’d much rather use our resources to get a starting centre back. At the moment he’s definitely not the type of player to benefit us. From what I’ve seen and speaking to normal rangers fans I know they feel Rangers have destroyed him and his confidence. He’s also cursed with the Lennon miller comparison constantly which is a weight to carry for a young player. (Not that i feel sorry for him as that’s on him and his father) unless he’s coming to us permanently …. Even then I’m not sure…I see zero point in a loan deal where this will only really benefit rangers and potentially Rice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Bailey Rice transfer wont benefit us one bit if he and his agent had any sense go Ayr or Partick type team to a get game time week in week out if he is good enough. We need some defence signings now or its really going to be Kevin Keegan football for the rest of the season which wouldnt be a bad thing least we shall be entertained. Not going to lie but this is turning into the one of the best transfer windows for a good number of years.Longelo keeps this up and we are already looking at a seven figure digit value love watching him play .Longelo and Just ooze class.

Yep. The club appear to have invested wisely. The unfortunate side is that these players probably won't hang around for long but at least we should see some decent money coming in.

My feelings too. I bear (?) the lad no ill will. He left us for a substanital hike in wages to join his and his father's favourite team. I totally get that. Actions have consequences however, and his football development has suffered. You're paid your money and you takes your choice. Good luck to him.

mio Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I see JBA has a 19yr old son who is a centre half for Odense. Julius BA hes been capped for Denmark u19s a centre half…… he’s a centre half 🙏 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Not long till transfer window closes and I’m really hoping we are in the process of getting a center back signed up that is better than anyone we have. Not a slight on the players we have but obviously if you’re trying to strengthen the team you want better than what you have. I’m ok with our two keepers, I think we have good numbers and decent back up for our midfield and forward positions but centre back position is where we need to strengthen. I think we will be hard to beat if we can find that player. Combine hard to beat with the football we are playing and it could be the most enjoyable season for a long long time. Added to that is the excitement of the fans. Already more people coming to the games with positive encouragement for the players and creating a much more vibrant atmosphere. Even people talking of bringing their friends to watch us and people who have been scunnered over the years talking of coming back to Fir Park. It’s quite a while since there has been such an optimistic feel like this around Fir Park and getting a strong imposing footballing centre half will help immensely to keep that going. C’mon Motherwell, one more Rabbit out of the hat!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't think Rice is a good option (particularly not on loan) I would never close the door on a good young player who made a poor choice. Especially if they made that choice as a 15 year old.

Stuwell2 Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 I’d take him back as a permanent move to see if we can improve him and sell him on in 2 years but a loan deal would be pointless unless Rangers are willing to give us some cash for our work.

Kmcalpin Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 I've no inside knowledge at all, but will be surprised if there's not more comings and goings before Monday at 2300 hrs.

One or two additions and the same number leaving, either permanently or on loan. The window in England shuts at 19:00. I read that this year we're also closing at the same time. From an article in the Scotsman: "The Scottish Premiership transfer window will officially close on Monday 1 September, at the earlier time of 7pm. This is slightly earlier than the last few windows and is aligned with many of the top European leagues." https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/scottish-premiership/latest-premiership-news/when-does-the-scottish-transfer-window-close-how-late-can-celtic-rangers-and-rivals-make-transfers-5256299 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
