Forget what I said before. Today made it very clear this team is missing a spine. We need a GK, CH, CM, and CF. All of them starters.

Same shite (defensively), different season. That aside, it was good to see what some of the new guys brought to the table.

Said has arrived.

He does get credit. He won the Players’ Player of the Year award last season.

My point was made in acknowledgement of Miller being replaced, so that’s another signing. I also concede that another centre-forward would be nice, and perhaps a centre-half at a push, but anything more will bloat the squad.

The people of Firhill require socks. He’ll do well there.

Because he’s a midfielder.

My opinion leaves scope for another striker, which I agree we need. Balmer and SOD are going nowhere, unfortunately.

I’ll be content if we don’t sign the extra 2–4 players some are now calling for. The same people complaining about a bloated squad in past seasons are now demanding three players per position.

If we’re making any further signings, it won’t be a right-back. It’ll be an established player to replace Miller.

No. Clyde separates Motherwell and Hamilton.

Manny’s here!

Paying a fee for an established winger is an encouraging sign that we’ve moved on from the throw-enough-shite-at-the-wall approach.

Longelo looks like a genuine left-back rather than a wing-back, which, if we sign him, strongly suggests we’re sticking with a traditional back four this season. Hurrah. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/emmanuel-longelo/profil/spieler/504386

We’re playing Carlisle behind closed doors.

Hat-trick for Sule.

Seems like a decent bit of business, especially if he can replicate Biereth’s loan impact.

Adidas kits generally look class.

There are rules and laws in place for good reason. Then there are self-important pricks who go beyond them, make it up as they go, and get it wrong through sheer incompetence.

I’d buy that.

If the Board really agreed to a £4.5m release clause, there’ll be plenty more clubs than just Celtic interested. The rest is just media and agent noise.

The next off the conveyor belt. Good luck to the lads. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2025/07/03/seven-academy-graduates-sign-professional-deals/

More signings will come with or without the Miller millions. I’m confident we’ll look to build a more balanced and financially sensible squad than we’ve seen in recent seasons. And that doesn’t mean scraping the barrel. It means prioritising quality over quantity.

That’s just your reasoned opinion versus mine, which is completely fair. Based on your response, my post seems pretty balanced: you agreed with four points and disagreed with five. The idea that views like mine somehow equate to pant-wetting insanity is, frankly, madness in itself. The long and short of it is—and this isn’t aimed at you—is that too many are more interested in posting reductive pish to take shots at anyone voicing an opinion, rather than offering anything constructively critical themselves.
