Hopefully at least another season to lift a euro trophy 😀

We were actually talking about this on Saturday.

No Motherwell team has ever been as prepared for / suited to European football as this one.

I know the chances of Jens still being here next season are slim, and Im not suggesting Europa League, but I think we would make a better fist of the Conference League than Aberdeen made this season.

It would be nice if we could just fend of suitors for a little while and let us and the team enjoy the success of their endeavours (should we not fuck it up between now and then).

Nice to dream......

I would hope Jens will stay the season, if for no other reason than he needs a pre season to get his way of playing across to a team.  I cant see him changing a team mid season

I’d like to think that he’s not even considering leaving this season but I am hoping for at least another season but I’m sure he will have offers. 
Will be up to him if he wants to see how far he can take this.  
more importantly for MFC is that we continue to find coaches with the same approach. JBA is obviously not the only coach in the world who has this outlook but probably the issue for us is finding replacements in our price range.

I’m not too concerned with Jens leaving this season, I don’t think he will be going anywhere until the season end at earliest.

my only concern for ins and outs just now is Welsh. It did look like he was staying with us but with ONeill going back to Celtic I have a suspicion he might want him. Oneill and Maloney came along and watched the Hibs game at Fir park and they must have been impressed by him as he was exceptional that night. 
Their fans don’t want him back…. I’m not convinced Welsh wants to go back ….but as much as ONeill is a bit of a loon he does know a player and he is still their player.

Not saying Im not concerned, as he has been fantastic. But Im sure Jens is well aware of the possibility and will have someone in mind should it be required.

Also, he is left sided and its really right side Celtic are short. Scales, Trusty and Tierney can all play his side.

Finally, SOD & McGinn have shown they can play there as well. Wouldnt be my choice long term, but if needs must?

Yup, good points. I do like Welsh though and I think he’s really suited to us. Be good to see him stay.

i have to admit I’m quite excited by this transfer window. Can’t wait to see who we get a hold of. I keep checking every day expecting the usual guy in darkness teaser from the club. I wish they’d hurry up.

I'd be more concerned had we not horsed Celtic without him. He's a great player for us, but with the whole team having upped their game over the course of the season, I'm not sure he's quite as important now as he was a couple of months ago.

I may be wrong, but I don't think Welsh is left footed. He plays there because someone has to, as we dont have any actual left sided CBs, and thats less of a need when you play with a back 4.

We need some incoming player rumours, especially strikers to discuss, all this chat about managers going nowhere is getting tedious now. 

Lois Moult is returning 

oops - that’s even more tedious 😀

I’d be happy for a few loanees from engurland - but not more like osong

I thought we had already agreed with Celtic that he was staying here till end of season? Once agreed (contracted?) can they change their mind? I assume it would depend on any written contract details?  So maybe maybe not.

Would be brilliant to get him on a contract, but he is bound to have suitors with deeper pockets than ours unfortunately. No harm in asking though!

I still find it hard to believe he plays with forest.  Just doesn't look like a player
