Because Hammy is incapable of learning, unfortunately,

There is a lot of secrecy around long-term injuries or illnesses nowadays, which is perhaps due to agents advising the parent club not to disclose personal info to protect the player/asset they represent. Legal issues, etc.

McGinn will stand in for now, but I reckon we will only be able to get another decent LB loanee in if we put Shields and Morris out on loan or otherwise.

Delighted with the signing of Danzaki. He’s our first Japanese player.

Given we brought in Aston Oxborough on a 2-year deal in Summer 2022 and let Scott Fox leave recently, I would guess we're hoping to sell Liam Kelly soon (contracted to May 2024) and allow Aston to take over as number 1.

If it meant our survival and increased role of the WS, I would be willing to increase my WS direct debit, but on the proviso that the Club presented a new and more realistic vision for its future. I'm not quite sure what that vision would be, however.

🥳

And this is why relegation will likely end us as a worthwhile going concern.

And there’s the answer. Thanks.

I don’t think any Well fan would sing the praises of our current midfield, nor do I think other clubs would bite our hand off to sign any of the midfielders. We’re in a strange position, as far as I’m concerned, of not having one standout player. We’re meek and predictable, much like the journeymen who ‘enforce’ the middle of the park for us.

Interesting. Why does that make it more straightforward?

I look forward to the declaration of the signing of Danzaki.

Sounds about right, thanks. I guess their cash will pay for intermediaries to do this abroad before arrival.

Can anyone provide any insight on this process? It never seems to affect Celtic, or is that because they’ve got more money and clout?

There’s definitely a tidy destroyer type player in Maguire. Unfortunately, however, I think he’s been consistently mismanaged and also affected by a bad knee injury. I wish him all the best and hope he comes back to prove some people wrong.

You beat me to it.

’Motherwell are set to complete the signing of Riku Danzaki TODAY. The Consadole Sapporo star has agreed a deal with the Steelmen side after an impressive loan in the A-League with Brisbane Roar, as Steven Hammell looks to add more attacking threat to his side. The Japanese star is an attacking midfield player who can play a number of positions in that area of the park.’ https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/spfl-transfer-news-live-oh-26045655

That would be a sensible move for both Barry and Dundee.

Any 'inside' scoops?

What is the score with SOD?

I’ve been moaning (elsewhere) about Alexander and his project being a mistake since November 2021.

I work hard at sex, but it doesn't make me good at it.

As I've said elsewhere, the club is now financially crippled because they let Alexander live his arrogant fantasy.

No. Kettlewell works with the Development/Reserves and U18s. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2022/10/03/stuart-kettlewell-appointed-lead-development-coach/
