FJ-94 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 i think that unless we change our formation a right back is needed urgently . sutton can do a job if we get good crosses into the box but IMO we could do with a striker to because like we seen last year sutton has dry patches when he doesent score for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hmm, not sure if, given the finance, we'll see any more signings, possibly another 1. we must have more money to spend on the playing squad. we've took in around £1.7 million for porter, clarkson, quinn and mcghee we've took in around £230,000 in europa league prize money. the new tv deal gives us the same money in 2009/10 as the old setanta one would have. the wage bill is much smaller with hughes, porter and malcolm alone freeing up 10 grand a week. even including the cost of the pitch we have brought in a lot of money in 2009 and i therefore don't see why we would need to be running a much cheaper squad than we were in 2007/08.

MelvinBragg Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 From BBC Gossip Page:Motherwell are to take a look at Australian full-back Simon Storey, who turned down a new contract with Partick Thistle. (Daily Express) Reading about him, he's played both right back and left back in the past. We do know that Gannon likes his players to be versatile...

Mourin-Hoe Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Storey is a decent player and would do well for us, quietly goes about his business!! Suprised hes not been snapped up by now, i think he'll be a 'Well player by the end of the month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dundeesteelman Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Some footage of Simon Storey on you tube. He looks a very impressive crosser of the ball and gets back to do defensive duties well. Not sure how to copy links so here is the link anyway.

Martin86 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 . surely we could come up with 200K ? Doubt it tbh, think it will be a wee while yet until we spend that kind of money for a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazamfc Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Doubt it tbh, think it will be a wee while yet until we spend that kind of money for a player. I would rather Gannon spent small sums of money on decent players than splash all the cash on 1 player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 If you want quality you have to pay for it though. Had we not received money for McGhee/Leitch, Clarkson and Quinn then I wouldn't expect us to be paying any money for anyone. I thought, perhaps naively, that at least a small percentage of the money received from the above mentioned would be used to pay at some least some small transfer fees, rather than the "hope we can get it for nothing" approach. My point is, I don't think we can replace Porter and Clarksons goals without paying for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if JG can;t identify one or even two Strikers to come in for nothing it will be one of Boyle's biggest follies to date for not giving him some money to do it.

The thing is you don't know what's out there for nothing and Jim Gannon probably will. Money doesn't automatically mean goals. And even if a player signs for free there is a signing on fee involved.

fizoxy Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Did we not get Clarky, Porter, and McCormack for nothing though? Did they replace the goals we lost when McDonald and Faddy left? When was the last time we spent money on a striker? Gow would have cost a lot more than the £200k transfer fee, would have no intention of coming here, and he's also shite. I'm not worried. I'm sure the manager knows exactly what he needs and i wouldn't be surprised to see the transfer activity pick up after Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmcd Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 i havent heard much about the trialists that were training with the the squad are they still there or has jim gannon got rid of them IMO there will be a few in before the end of the month and i think jg is just waiting until after the mora before he dips into the free transfer market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
