Small matter of the 3 year contract he signed that might hinder that particular deal.

In an interview in March, Ainsworth was talking about how much he loved it here and was hoping to be offered a contract and play in Europe next season. Of course, circumstances (and offers) change, but there is a lot to be said for enjoying your job.

Difficult to say, as 'Flow used to draw his wages in pies (allegedly).

I almost responded to this yesterday, but the point is still valid today. I don't believe any rumours on here until I see an official announcement from a club that a player has been signed (and registered).

We didn't have many slots to fill. Given the success of the team last year, and the fact we have secured our younger talent, this is not a bad thing.

Dom Thomas, Morgyn Neill and Steven Higgins all confirmed as extending their contracts on MFC Twitter.

They'll be breathing a sigh of relief they missed out on Kenny Miller. Boyd would have scored a barrel load in our team from 2 seasons ago, but not sure he would be as well suited to our current squad.

See Gunning been officially released by Utd.

Ross Stewart and Dom Thomas have been in the first team squad on a few occasions, so I'm sure he was including them.

Just read the article in the Evening Times about Leitch signing and McCall mentions we currently have 9 "academy products" in the first team squad. That's not too bad.

I'd be amazed if we hold onto McCall after 2014/15 season.

Does Law not fall into that category? Difficult to tell I suppose until he gets a run out.

Quite likely. There is also a case for McCall saying "we don't have any more money to sign new players" just before signing a new player.

Hoping one of the U20s might do that. Dom Thomas seems to be a bit of a left-mid phenom.

Sounds like more PR from the "Buy your season ticket" campaign.

Damn. Looks like Ainsworth not signing is our last chance of misery and panic. Maybe McCall can resign and give us something to discuss over the summer.

Aye, it never ceases to amaze me how precious some footballers are when they are made redundant. I imagine almost every poster on here has been affected by lay-offs at some time in their life (twice directly for me), and I'll bet none of us went greetin' to the press or bawlin' our eyes out to whoever would listen about how unfair it was. It's a job. Sometimes you lose your job. Then you need to find a new job.

It's possible to travel to new places (including warm ones) even when Motherwell aren't playing there.

Not long after the Aberdeen game, Las said in an interview that the offer had been made and there were just a few details to be looked at. So hopefully that is still the case.

I think most contracts expire May 31st.

I doubt 2 or 3 seasons in the lower leagues appeals to Las at this stage of his career.

Another one in the long line of "neds with talent" that have let their skills go to waste.

Never any need to worry about the stories on here.

Thinking about a deal you have been offered and/or negotiating the finer points, all before the deadline you have been set, isn't exactly dithering. Or should we tell Lasley to fuck off too for not having signed already? If nothing else, it shows the rumour of Ainsworth having already signed for an MLS team wasn't true.

I guess they must have given him that big cut of the money he demanded from the profits of his Aberdeen goal.
