But I’d rather we moved him on in Jan Cowan strangely said something about Halliday hanging up his boots today. Haven’t heard anything about him retiring but maybe he knows more than us.

fizoxy Posted Saturday at 05:36 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 05:36 PM AP is either half injured or on the way out. The game was there to win and we didnt bring on our only experienced stiker. While we had a couple of forced changes, I dont believe that we wouldn't have brought on a stiker for Just at the end instead of McGhee if they were genuinely available.

Mad Dog Posted Saturday at 07:25 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 07:25 PM Can we bring Olly Whyte into the squad to see how he does? Not sure how these partnership loans work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how these partnership loans work. I’d suspect that he’s training with us during at least part of the week as Stenhousemuir are not a full time team so JBA will know if he’s ready or not.

mio Posted Saturday at 11:38 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 11:38 PM Sounds like we are getting this striker which will be interesting and as mentioned if we get Welsh for the rest of the season that’d be a brilliant result. I actually feel like we need another midfielder as well after losing RCC and with Watt being out and the likelihood is there will be other injuries in midfield particularly giving the miles they put in every game, it’s inevitable.

fizoxy Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago This suggests we're not going to go crazy in January, as expected. "The strength of the squad was evident and the Motherwell manager reiterated that his focus in the January transfer window is to keep his key players. “That's the main plan, to make sure that this team gets the maximum out of this group of players, gets the maximum out of this season, and then we know in the summer it's a bigger window,” the Dane said. “So that's the main track for us and then obviously there's a few gaps here and there and we'll see if we can fill them with quality like we did in the summer.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villageman Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Loan players are always a high risk which is the main reason I hate using them. in my opinion loan should be for young players only or a specified fixed contract time ie end of season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago News of his return to Celtic has their fans rubbing their hands in glee, not! Apparently he is not good enough for them and would be more useful staying with us to try and take points of Rangers and Hearts. From a personal point of view it cant be a good move for Welsh as he is unlikely to get regular playing time with them. This is the problem with loan deals. Ok for very short term but can cause problems down the line. Celtic seem desperate, disorganised and clueless just now with transfer dealings. So if they come calling for our own players, double our asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purestate Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago This is the pros and cons of loans system for clubs though isn’t it? we recalled Matty because of needing cover due to injury and Celtic are in similar position because the Man City player they had got recalled. yes arguably Celtic are in better position because Welsh has been getting game time and playing well so they have more than just a substitute/cover Personally I’m glad he performed for us rather than simply made up numbers as some loanees have done having said that we’ve also shown we can win without him so I thank him and move on.

MelvinBragg Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago With Welsh (and I assume Balmer) away, we need at least one centre back. We have McGinn, Gordon and O'Donnell. Not much cover given their injury records recently. Is McGhee going to be used there...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

si91 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago While it’s disappointing and he was clearly an integral part of the success so far, perhaps our best game to is season was against Celtic and Welsh didn’t play. Hopefully, we get another body in but we’ve shown we can live without him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennyc Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 17 minutes ago, Big Stall said: We could always ask to buy him...... I heard we did and could afford him. But he is on £10k plus PW at Celtic for the next 18 months. I would not be surprised to see him playing for them at least until season end. Their current defence is shocking. Just look at how we ran Scales ragged. I suspected he would be recalled as soon as I heard Nancy had been sacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Mcghee was predominantly a CB for dundee. Considering how we currently play, a CB who can also play in midfield seems like a decent fit. However, he will still need to be eased back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
