MJC Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago As I’ve said many times before, European qualification for me is just a bonus for a very good season or a Cup win. The ‘reward’ for me was how good we were last season when we were at our best. On paper of course it is great for the club and yes, financially it is good for us (albeit we have reported it has cost us money in the past) but I am more concerned with what happens ON the park for us and I just can’t get on board with this idea of mere playing a couple of Euro qualifiers being held up as some sort of trophy by the club because it looks good on paper, and by the supporters because they get to enjoy a piss up abroad somewhere when the actual football is very much an afterthought. Each to their own and of course and no harm to the Motherwell fans who invest time and money to travel for these games, but it’s just not for me.

wellsince75 Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago I don’t think it’s accurate to say we can’t control the signings and that slower due to World Cup here’s the SPL Aberdeen – 11 Heart of Midlothian – 11 Falkirk – 10 Dundee United – 9 St Johnstone – 8 St Mirren – 6 Kilmarnock – 6 Rangers – 6 Dundee – 5 Hibernian – 5 Motherwell – 4 Celtic – 1 In addition we had more players leave than any other club so a known rebuilding job .   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfc Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Glad it's done and we can move on,to get nearly £2million for a guy that most of us probably said last summer why are we signing him is great business but there's no denying he was brilliant for us and will be missed,having all this money in the bank is all well and good but we really need to see more incomings and good ones at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mio Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I hope he does well but not to sound salty, he’s not exactly set the heather on fire anywhere in his career until last season and clearly JBA got the best out him. We’ve seen it before KVV, Theo Bair….. even Ward, get them for nothing, give them a new lease of life and punt them for a good amount before they start to underperform. i sort of feel the same about JT, I felt the dip in his performance last season was drastic. The only player I see moving and getting better is Just. Just in my view is our real class act. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not long after the second pay cheque bounces. Although in all seriousness, hopefully his stint there goes very well. He did well for us.

joewarkfanclub Posted 11 minutes ago Report Share Posted 11 minutes ago 1 hour ago, texanwellfan said: 2M in the bank and we already have his replacement in Priestman Not sure he is a direct replacement, but we have seen Oscar and Fadinger play very well together at the base of the midfield, so it is at least a known quantity. We probably still need a back up in there for injuries and suspensions, but that could well be one of our academy players as there certainly seems to be a huge emphasis on youth development coming through the clubs communications this season, whether it be talking about the manager or just the squad in general. Id still like a Watt replacement though as last season all 3 got plenty minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
