Very unfortunate for Montgomery but having played for 2 clubs is irrelevant, he was never getting into the Celtic team anyway and with his injury he's not going to be fit till May at the earliest so his season is done. He's a Celtic player so get him back to them to look after and off our wage bill we've enough injured players of our own to deal with.

He's out for 3 months Apparently according to this report https://www.thenational.scot/sport/24076895.adam-montgomery-suffers-brutal-injury-blow-motherwell-loan/

🏆SC Greenock Morton v Motherwell 09/02/2024
Spiderpig replied to SteelmaninOZ's topic in Club Chat
Live on council telly, the weather will be shite as usual, and the tickets will no doubt not be reduced, add in travel hassle/ cost , aye live games on council telly really encourage people to go to games. The away support will be OK but nowhere near as good if the game was not on the BBC. -
Why don't you call a Trolls meeting with Yodo, and MJC a put together a list of any players you all find acceptable and ok to sign, that would save you labelling every player linked with Motherwell as pish.
-
As is every game we play, the potential to lose is always there. If we start with the right attitude, press them high from the start and move the ball a lot quicker than we did against Alloa we will get the required result. Hopefully we have another couple of players in place by then to give us more of a goal threat.
-
Morton away, pity we never got a home tie but it's a decent draw, they are well off the pace in the championship
-
No it wasn't he's secured his future financially, Euro experience, scored a fes goals, winning medals etc all at a young age, and it's guaranteed that when he leaves Celtic he'll leave,a much better player than when he joined them.
-
Bair is brutal, he has no positionional sense at all, nothing sticks to him so he was unable to hold the ball up and play others in. He ran about like a headless chicken and contributed feck all game, as was mentioned earlier on the few occasions when we got the ball into the box he was nowhere to be seen, a Biereth or a KVV would have probably scored. Yes he's scored a few goals in recent weeks but the simple fact is he never was and never will be premiership level and its a damming indictment of the problems we have that he was the first choice striker yesterday. Unless SK gets a couple of strikers in this window we are heading for trouble as I can't see where our goals will come from.
-
Gent for me, best player on the park today, special mention for Montgomery he also had a great game on his debut.
-
Biereth is allegedly heading to Sturm Graz, maybe Max Johnson tipped them off of his abilities.
-
-
Correct, always big calls on here for us to sign, experienced players, know Scottish football etc etc so thats one confirmed with hopefully a few more to follow. A good Experienced goal scorer or whatever that translates to on Motherwell's budget next please.
-
Yes investment in developing our own players is great in principle but it's also a risky strategy as from an academy squad of say 15 you might only get 1 maybe 2 that will step up to the 1st team. You can't guarantee a Johnson, Miller or Turnbull every year so no saleable assets are a distinct possibility.
-
So is MJC really your pal ?
-
Pish, the big English Premiership clubs like Arsenal are ruthless in situations like this they have no problem with recalling a player then immediately sending him out on loan elsewhere. You can guarantee if Biereth is off to Sheffield Wednesday as mentioned they will be paying more if not all of his wage than we did so a financial benefit to Arsenal who don't give a feck about the effect recalling the player has on other teams. So it would not have matterd if we were 5th as you say and playing well the recall would still have happened.
-
Ok against my better judgement I'll bite so on that premis you would have opposed the club signing Davie Cooper, Bobby Russell, and Andy Goram, and all the other ex well players who have also played for Rangers over the years. You really do spout shite, but if constant trolling helps you through the day,fill yer boots. 🤦♂️
-
Unless we get another 10 or 15 thousand sign ups to the WS it will never be fit for purpose, it was ill thought out from the start our fan base is too small to sustain effective and true fan ownership.
-
Decent players, who've been regular starters and played a lot of minutes tend not to be available in January transfer windows, and if they were we probably could not afford them. So as the previous poster said that's our market, players not getting a lot of game time for whatever reason who might be just what we need.
-
Aye the players mentioned will be gutted earning millions and not kicking a ball then having to move on for another signing bonus and excellent wage, good work if you can get it.
-
Have a day off ffs
-
Why is it ridiculous it was an official club press / media release, which stimulated a healthy debate, some loved it probably more hated it but if everyone agreed life would be boring, so I fail to see what people's ego has to do with it. There are no transfer rumours to discuss so the video was a welcome distraction and worthy of comment and debate.
-
Ok her PA will call and set up the deal, but was that not the videos intended purpose to raise cash, for me it was an embarrassment but time will tell if it pays off so all we can do is wait and see how it plays out.
-
So if Taylor Swift had saw the video and thought Great idea I'll contact the club and transfer a few million, the board would have said no thanks that's not what we meant Taylor, we were just having a laugh. Aye OK then if geez yer dosh, tongue in cheek or not is not begging for cash what is.
-
Nah not having that, the Ad company and club board may have thought it was a good laugh, off the wall, tounge in cheek etc but they meant it to be serious ie geez yer dosh. Yes it's went viral, but honestly is a serious investor going to watch that and say you know what I'm giving them a call I want to put millions into that nice wee Scottish club, I think not. Time will tell whether we get any bites and if we do attract a Motherwell Daft/ daft investor to give us their dosh then I'll be the 1st to admit I was wrong but it was all a bit amateurish for me
-
The chairman saying "it has worked well" for me that speaks volumes of how the club is run if he thinks releasing that video was a good move. Yes millions of views online but only because it's cringeworthy, if it was meant as a professional pitch to attract potential investors it's a serious own goal. He mentions other clubs and individuals putting in millions each year, I very much doubt they are doing that without return, Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen are much bigger clubs than us, with more potential to make money, what could an investor hope to get in return from a club of Motherwells size. For me nobody is going to keep pumping money into a club year after year to keep it running with no return, especially if they don't have a controlling interest in tbe club.
