Takes Wigan out of relegation if they have 12pts deducted.

If as reported the transfer fee has been agreed and he’s willing to join us, it does seem a long time to get a medical done and sign him but maybe it’s not easy getting a full medical at the moment.

Like others I’ve only heard of him from older relations who all spoke highly of him. condolences to his family

Agree Andy but this year would be different with 3 subs senior players & 2 reserve/youth players. with not a lot of chances of game time this season (no reserve league and leagues 1&2 unsure if they will even play this year) I think we need to do something to help the youth progress in their careers.

Know that feeling

Don’t think that we have forgotten the youngsters more like they are not ready yet and so we are spending to keep our position

If it is 5 subs I’d like to see a rule that 2 were from the U21 squad.

Totally agree with Welldaft in regards to the club being better run now but we are in need of a striker who can give us +15 goals if we are to have any ambition and I suspect that Lang will do that. Robertson will no doubt be wanting to cement our place in the top 6 and have a chance in Europe of at least getting through 2 rounds. Having chased this guy he appears to believe this guy is what’s needed to do that so I think the club must back him and show commitment to those ambitions with a realistic hope of getting a good return on this outlay. I’ve also no doubt that Kipre has told Lang that Motherwell Is a well run club and is a great club to further his ambitions.

Fee agreed for Lang according to this tweet

Not for our sake but I really hope that Wigan get a buyer and don’t get points deducted as the more I read about this the dodgier it gets. The fact that there appears to be a large bet on them being relegated I’d like to hope that the EFL would step in to save the leagues sporting integrity.

Report says they hope to get him on the cheap for £1m which would be a steal and bad news for us.

Are the club doing them or did you get them elsewhere?

If we don’t have anyone ready to step up then yes take him while we develop one of our youngsters. if Hastie is returning to Scotland I think it’s better to have him in our squad rather than have him helping another of our competitors pick up points.

Mark Gillespie reported to have signed for Newcastle, all the best to him.

I wonder if you would get away with photo shopping a Motherwell strip onto a famous or historical person?

Hard choice but Gillespie for me followed by Gallagher, Polworth, Campbell in that order.

If the staff are busy processing season tickets etc then there is no reason to furlough them at the moment.

There’s one later in the game where he try’s to smash him in the throat with a forearm

Well done Davie

Refusing to let him get his move could potentially stop future youngsters from signing extensions or guys coming to us knowing they will get a move - ie Moult - which in the long run could cost the club.

I was so sure this was mentioned around December time when contract talks were opened with Gillespie, Grimshaw, Donnelly etc but having spent over half an hour searched back on here and the internet, I’ve came to the conclusion that I’ve done a monty python and I’m making it up as I go along - sorry for the genuine mistake

With Gallagher also refusing an extension offer, I’d expect he will be sold in the summer.

Was wondering who was injured but if I don’t frame the question correctly I get what I deserve

Why’s the game got so much injury time?
