Probably wrong but the only place I could see him going is Belgium , but even then the wages might be an issue. A Loan might be doable I guess. But remember Celtic already mucked him about when Mechelen wanted him back for this season. To our benefit. Celtic have one CB injured long term and let two youngsters for the same position leave because they could not get in ahead of Scales and Trusty. Which speaks volumes about Celtic's recruitment under Rodgers. No inside info, just a feeling, but I think they have recalled him to be a starter.....at least until Carter Vickers returns. And as others have said, why should Welsh take a wage cut to facilitate a permanent transfer to the likes of Aberdeen or us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted yesterday at 06:46 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:46 PM Although sad to see him return Lots of positives re Welsh . We’ve benefited from having someone better than we’d normally afford and he improved our teams results . He’s also improved his personal stock and suspect a serious contender to get game time at park head . if a bigger club was to give another loanee of similar quality for rest of the season that would be fine by me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbybingo Posted yesterday at 06:51 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:51 PM O'Neill saying there's a chance Welsh could be sent back to us if he can get players in and they have no further injuries. Sounded apologetic to Welsh, said he was enjoying himself 'immensely' here, complemented the football Motherwell have been playing, but said it's needs must. No suggestion they're punting him to anyone. Great as that would be, it puts JBA in a tricky situation, as there seems to be a will, but no guarantee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted yesterday at 07:04 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:04 PM Liam Morrison from QPR wanting a loan move to try and push for the Scotland squad. He’s quite young and a good prospect by all accounts. I’ve no doubt being a product of Bayern Munich that he can play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh is their player and I can imagine he wont actually be happy going back. Been immense but attitude top class and really taken club to heart. Sane also with Balmer, always smiling and always got involved with celebrations, wish both every success but if we could get Welsh back it would be awesome 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andalg Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago If Welsh plays minutes for Celtic does that mean the only other team he can play for this season on loan is Motherwell ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is correct, only two teams in a season. I think that O'Neill's comments were quite classy, but we can't be expected to wait a couple of weeks to see if Welsh can come back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From O'Neill's comments it sounded like he didn't really know the current rules and was instructed from above to do "just in case". 100% agree we shouldn't wait around though, and be moving forward on the basis he isn't coming back.

Oneills comments sounded as though he wasn't aware of Welsh's views until after it went through and now he's back he can see that the lad is gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I’m really hoping we end up getting him back but we should be adding another CB anyway and If he does come back then we have even better squad depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Get another centre back in and let Celtic worry about what to do with Welsh. I feel really sorry for the lad, but we cant be hanging on the line waiting for them to make a decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennyc Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago With Balmer gone we must be looking to bring someone in no matter what. But also look to Welsh returning later in the window. I'm hoping Welsh features at Falkirk tomorrow and that rules out a loan to anybody but us later on in January. That leaves only a permanent transfer available this window to all but us and his wages might prove prohibitive to those other teams showing an interest. With a wee bit of luck this whole circus could work out quite well for us. And if we can't beat County without Welsh I would be amazed.

Hopefully not to many others missing though. I think we have proved the managers system is more important than the personnel but I still want us to put out as strong a team as possible.
