Well that’s a good start to this Friday morning.

Any fees on these transfers or are they both frees?

They were both free agents following relegation.

On the face of it, those seem like 2 decent signings.

Both in positions we will need to fill, both young with decent youth pedigree and room for development.

Hopefully the reality is as good as the data and that there are more incoming!

[texanwellfan]

We almost have a team for Europe 😀

[texanwellfan]

I’m assuming Just will move on but will we have him back for a couple of European games? Or will he be on break after WC and straight to new pastures? 
im assuming for Watt and others that they are continuing to be Motherwell’s players for the momemt and are part of the preseason training etc.

Watt definitely with the rest of the squad. Maswanhise didn't travel due to a facial injury...

Given the noises from the club over the last 6 months, cant see us selling them all. Last one to get a decent offer may have to stay till january or next summer

[Big Stall]

Signings look positive on paper. Hopefully a few gems in over the summer to replace our leaving assets

I thought he was Austrian? 🤪🤪

Don't post anything ever again, this is your peak, you made me laugh, it's over, these heights are like a midfield of Just,Slattery and Fadinger, we'll never see it again

Well, we've tried everything else to stop him posting, so I suppose lying was worth a shot.

Valid point, best to go out on a high rather than one more season when past it 🤣🤣

A couple of exciting signings.

Vogt's stats look very good last season, though I don't know about the quality of the Swiss Challenge League. Regardless, 12 goals and 7 assists for a team that finished bottom of the league shows that he is capable of scoring and creating in a struggling team. That is much more difficult to do than creating and scoring in a successful team. Looking good.

Martin Moorman seems like the perfect replacement for Welsh.

Let's hope that both are fit, stay fit, and have successful spells at the Mighty Well.

Hopefully the start of a very successful summer window. A long way to go, but it looks like a good start.

Hate to burst your bubble but you have to have been it to be past it

Is that the Swiss 2nd division?

Certainly is.

[thewelllfan]

Vogt you would assume is the Maswanhise replacement. Seems to be a plays across the front 3 type of attacker.

Moorman replaces Welsh. He's Left footed and seems to be decent with the ball.

I think we're probably still looking at another 7-10 signings before we're ready for the season:

We need another CB at least maybe 2 McGinns out for months and McGhee is injury prone

Need a LB. Would take James Furlong back if possible.

Need a CM potentially. Need a Halliday replacement and potentially a Watt replacement if he's sold

Need probably 2 attacking midfielders. Slattery is gone and Just will likely follow.

Need a LW/RW what ever side we plan to use Vogt we need comp on the other side. Unless we think Luca Ross can make an impact.

We need a ST. Bjorgolffson looks promising, Maswanhise is away realistically and Stamatelopolous will likely follow him out the door. Hendry looks like he'll be out for months so we need 1 potentially 2 Strikers in the door.

I'd expect 5/6 to also leave - Just, Maswanhise, Watt, Stama, Oxborough, Wilson.

2/3 should be loans - CB can be cover until McGinn is back, ST to cover until Hendry is back, we have a decent track record of Loan LB signings. Gent, Furlong etc.
