I remember Lee Miller being quite good, but that was a few years ago now. Speculation at the moment anyway. Vigurs has 9 goals and 9 assists to his name from last season which is quite impressive. I have a feeling this might get scuppered at the last minute! Still a bit down about the players that have left/leaving to be honest!

This.

Didn't think Hateley would stay.

Tam Cowan actually paid Boyd a bit of a back handed compliment by saying "So what did you do after you left Motherwell?" , as Boyd obviously had a pretty successful career. It was an evening of celebration and jest after all. Boyd then showed his true colours.

What Frazzie said. There's also more than a few stories going about of Tom Boyd celebrating in the faces of Motherwell fans at the 2011 final.

My main concern is that with so many first team players leaving that even if we replace every single player the heart of the team has gone and the squad mentality and team spirit will have to be rebuilt very quickly This.

If it's less than £400k it'll make it even harder to take.

Almost an entirely new team needed for next season, too much quality to replace in one go. Unless it was silly money, which it almost certainly wasn't, you've got to question the wisdom of allowing another player to leave when there is already so much upheaval. That said, we are fucking skint, so what can you do?!?!

Oh Jesus. What was the fee?

I forgot about that, and aye, I mind panicking then also!!

I can't remember if we've ever had so many players leave in one summer (administration situation aside).

Can only echo what others have said. Massive boots to fill. I could spew at this team being dismantled!

Humphrey will be a massive loss. What will be will be but I have a feeling Ramsden will be the only player to re-sign.

Not sure we were even in for Harkins but it would be worrying if he chose the paisley junkies over European football. This.

Were we in for him?

I hope the place isn't full of psychos also. And that's just the Motherwell fans.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but about 2/3 of those places give me the fear.

The dates are the 1st and 8th August right? I plan on getting the club charter this year due to commitments on 2nd and 9th August.

Cummins.

Where's the Arfield chat came from?

Fantastic news if true!! I still fear a sting in the tail though.

There's a lot of truth in that inthebasement.

The worst case scenario certainly is unfolding. I actually didn't think any of our out of contract players would re-sign but I thought they would more sense than to sign for the Sevco circus. I wasn't actually worried about McCall leaving, especially when he signed his new contract! I think we will lose Hutchinson and/or Ojamaa also! It's went from the sublime to the ridiculous in a space of time do short you wouldn't believe it possible.

We should brace ourselves for Humphrey and Hateley heading to the dark side as well I think. Really difficult to take all this.

More than ever.
