EastStandWellFan Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Wikipedia enlightens us to the fact that he shares his surname with a popular soft drink. Just had a play about with his entry on Wikipedia Stuart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 The plot thickens! Probably discard it though as he's at Fir Park holding a Motherwell top in the official photo. The names Frank McAvennie and Mo Johnston spring to mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hardly post because of the same sarcastic smart arsed answer you gave to my post. don't call me out when you are the one kicking it off There was already a thread about him having signed. Might have been worth you having a look there first? Or earlier in this thread where it was also mentioned ?? Stuart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergi4 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 stuart my final word on this ok and im done. Im just out work and there was nothing on official site before I left and got it on the tv when I got in. I thought the moderators were supposed to be stopping multiple Threads with same topic, so I never read the post by burrows. He should know better and be posting in the same thread (In's and Out's). anyway, can't wait to see all these new players piece together, so roll on next set of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergi4 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Just had a play about with his entry on Wikipedia Stuart. nice Wiki update. "Future Europa League Winners" and "a following of over 20,000 away fans at each match last season" will really have some people taking notice. I'd laugh if any the news agencies catch this and use it in their reports!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Sore one for Northampton Town if that is the case though. Hope we get a wee bit more loyalty than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nethertonwellfan Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Are Hutchison and Page English ? According to Wiki they are and apparently we take 20,000 fans to every away game and are one of the most successful teams in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Pup Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 anyone shed any light on Shaun Ashburn - a Scottish defender listed in our squad on wiki - bad source of information i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 According to wiki we got a 6ft 4 defender on trial Pat_Kanyuka 6ft 4. That would have Mark McGhee very excited! He doesn't have the greatest pedigree mind you, but at least Gannon can have a look at him. Gannon did make a comment after the first Llanelli game that we were a bit lightwieght and he seems to be trying to address that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Sam Williams has signed for Yeovil, so if he was even up on trial, he certainly won't be the next signing. Unless we want to try and piss Yeovil off now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 IIRC We signed Page from Pompeys youth team. Not sure about Hutchison though. Yes both are English. Hutchison comes from the same club where Alan Shearer, Peter Beardsley, Alan Thompson, Michael Carrick and many more "big" names started. Unfortunately Hutchison has not made it onto their former players section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapy Soutar Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 We will have to wait and see how the new signings turn out, at least he is putting some effort in and attacking a thankless task by trying to rebuild a team with little or no budget. I dont think he has a lot of options but he seems to believe in his own ability and judgement , i also think we have to give the guy a chance as our options are so limited. The only thing that does surprise me about the signings is that i thought Stockport would have been a target for his initial signings. Good luck GAN THE MAN.

purestate Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Purely judging by the squad numbers allocated these guys will be expected to be in the starting 11. I see from official page that Saunders and Slane are still in the under 19s. Is this maybe just a website update/age thing or more of an indication that they will be squad only and not regular starters - especially if 4+4 still to come.

Ya Bezzer! Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 McGhee took a lot of stick on here for leaving us in the situation we are currently in with the depleted squad. So Gannon's plan is to bring in 4 loan deals and 2 of the 3 players we've brought in have signed ONE year deals? Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Gannon seems to have a plan, at least. His thinking (if he is to be believed) is that he wants some short term deals so he can assess the potential of the youngsters. Then in Year 2, go for longer term planning. I still don't know what McGhee's plan was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Kerse Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 McGhee took a lot of stick on here for leaving us in the situation we are currently in with the depleted squad. So Gannon's plan is to bring in 4 loan deals and 2 of the 3 players we've brought in have signed ONE year deals? Hmmm. First of all it is just insurance mate - on Gannon's part too. Remember he has a clause in his contract giving him a % of any sell on fee from a player he brings in. If they get off to a great start I'm sure he will sign them up. Secondly, You have already suggested these players may not be good enough! So if they are rank - you want them to be signed up for the next 3 seasons once gannon gets his jotters?? So what are these players? Unearthed gems you want tied to the club on long contracts or shite from league 2 you don't want at the club at all? Think you better pick a side and stick to it, the devil's advocatte thing just aint working for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Gannon's plan is to bring in 4 loan deals and 2 of the 3 players we've brought in have signed ONE year deals? Hmmm. Beezer you seem to be unhappy at ths situation, yet I'd have put you down as one normally arguing to give players a chance, surely this is just the start of JG's reign and it's time to sit back and let him build. you may think McGhee got stick but I'd say it was very limited in the early days, only a handful of punters raised concerns in the early days then it escalated as more and more could see he was not building for the future as he had no intention of being here. JG deserves his chance and time, there might be a few short term deals getting handed out but everything I've seen and read indicates he wants to build something and for every one of the short deals its also been mentioned that there are options to extend the deals. all the players so far are young and have indicated their desire to work and develop, specifically with Gannon. Reckon its time to let him do his thing and forget the comparisions with McGhee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I really don't see what the problem is with signing players from leagues which are supposedly below ours. Some excellent SPL players came from the Scottish lower divisions, and Craig Levein seems to do a good job of unearthing these guys without getting stick for it. Last year Falkirk went for some of the better known names from Scotland, like McCan, McNamara, Pressley, and Lovell and we saw how that went. We got Porter and Foran from the English lower leagues, and if you go back a wee while we also got Rab McKinnon from some English club, and I'm sure there are many more. We also have Championship clubs cherry picking some of the best players from the SPL, so I cant see us competing with them for signings. We could sign guys who aren't getting games for their top division clubs, but then they would just be rejects! I mean, we've brought in guys from Man Utd, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Spurs, Birmingham, Man City and Everton (and probably more) in my time, and I don't think we did too well out of that. I'll reserve judgement until I've actually seen these guys play. I couldn't give a toss where they come from, as long as they're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
