Signing risky players is a product of the limited market SK has to shop in. Young players that show potential but have not performed yet are a risk. Bair was a risk that worked. Good quality experienced players that but for a few injuries would be completely priced out of our market are a risk. Louis Moult was a risk that did not work out for Stevie Hammell. He then did work out for Dundee Utd. Veteran players that have reached the end of their careers that we could never have dreamt of signing when in their prime are a risk. Callum Patterson may be an example of that. Andy Halliday is a risk that I still think could go either way. Remember we missed out on Robert Snodgrass a season or two back. A perfect example of a player we could not have afforded but for the fact that he was in the twilight of his career. He did not exactly set the heather on fire on his return to Scotland so even he would have been a risk that may not have worked. Look at Van Veen going to Kilmarnock. It was a risk that did not work and I would imagine it was a fairly expensive one for Kilmarnock. Let's say that Ryan Jack is training with us and SK can see in training that he is significantly better than the midfield players we have. He is gaining fitness and stays injury free The option is there to offer him 6 months/ 1 year. Would SK really be off his head to consider this? I think the problem sometimes with the arguments you put forward wellfan is that you fail to recognise the significant restraints that Motherwell and SK work under. SK has to gamble sometimes. It is the nature of being financially one of the smaller clubs in the top league.

Australia's pretty far away

Your trying too hard now, that's shite patter it really is, have a look at yourself ffs.

You can't win a Bair if you don't throw the coconut

It was a great set up for the opening home game. The live music was very good. Certainly helped that the weather was kind.

I went when I was back in Scotland last season. I think it was only on trial then. Was really good I was very impressed!

Just be warned folks. What goes in must come out. If you overindulge of the porter you might miss a goal during the game.

Saw a few folk post about it on socials recently, it looks decent! Not been myself yet.

This is a bollocks sweeping statement and you know it. Kettlewell is responsible for signing injury prone players. He’s not responsible for every player being injured or getting injured. Him signing risky players is a fact that many of us have pointed out and will continue to do so. Therefore, it won’t be a surprise if he signs Jack. Your statement only stands to reason for the injury to Stama, which many have argued was down to poor decision-making by Kettlewell.

A hero for Motherwell and a villain to Kilmarnock yes? 😇
