  1. We should be signing a CB anyway regardless of Welsh situation/timing
  2. I hope Stephen and his agent are harassing Celtic to get him back here on loan. Benefits Welsh, (keeps him match fit and in the shop window) benefits Celtic (as in saving some wages + increasing his value) and benefits Motherwell. (Quality player in the squad for remainder of the season)
  3. Hillarious response from JBA. “Concrete rumours and concrete speculation” 😂
  4. Still baffles me as to why Celtic played him in the cup game.
  5. Agree, we know top quality will move on from us. All we can do is try have best contract conditions in place to hold them as long as possible but at same time guaranteeing that we are financially rewarded when they do leave.
  6. I’m not sure what JBA’s career plan is but I think it might be more in the direction of managing in EPL or mainland Europe rather than either of old firm teams. Now would Celtic be a stepping stone to help him on that path or a diversion? I think it’s more impressive doing what he’s done with Motherwell than doing anything with either of the uglies. Another season or two doing the same or improving us would be very impressive indeed, making us the Scottish Bodo Glimt. The club may have to have faith and invest some money in order to maintain what we have going just now. Nothing crazy but perhaps more than planned. The increase in crowd sizes is something I’ve not seen in all my years of supporting Motherwell. Finishing higher up the league means more money. Advancing in Europe would be more money. All not guaranteed but very possible from what we have seen in a very short space of time. I’m willing to bet if we can keep this going for next season, the season ticket sales will be thru the roof
  7. Based on the article it at least looks like they won’t make any move till end of season amd our first task is to keep what we have during this window amd perhaps improve playing squad. we then face the same battle again when we get to the end of the season. I’m hoping that we will be featuring in Europe amd that the thought of how good can we do in Europe might be enough to keep JBA and the squad together for another season since we do have them Under contract. (Most of them I think)
  8. With Shankland out for a bit JT has a decent chance to capture top goal scorer for this season. another few Bob into his value at end of the season I’d like to see us keep this group for next season in Europe, assuming we get there. Perhaps talk with the likely transfer targets and convince them to stay to see how well we can do in Europe then they can go after that
  9. The sooner we get to the end of the transfer window the better. Between that and Trump “Ma heids aboot tae burst”
  10. I’m just hoping his agent doesn’t talk him into submitting a transfer request so he can go to one of the uglies. If his agent has half A brain and a wee bit of patience, he’ll get a better club and better financial deal down south.
  11. He should know better than to say things like that in public or even in private. He should be telling possible suitors to fek off, we need him at Motherwell to finish our season. He’s not for sale.
  12. We’ve played 2 rounds of fixtures and the manner of our performance in games is a whole new level for us but after 22 games+ it doesn’t look like a flash in the pan so in this instance I’d go with option 2 thinking back to Jake Hastie, I think he performed over a handful of games and was a good move for him going to rangers.
  13. We should definitely not be selling any of our good players in this window, or in the summer if we can help it. I’ve not given up on a top 3 spot yet. Shankland out for a bit so maybe Hearts will struggle. We still have to play rangers and Celtic twice. Both uglies are capable of dropping points against any team in the league, as well as against each other. Of course, we are also capable of dropping points but there is still 16 games to go amd a lot can happen. At full strength and playing well, we are more than capable of beating either of the uglies.
  14. Exactly, with being able to do that save the money or spend it elsewhere.
  15. Your last paragraph is exactly my point. I see it as an opportunity for MFC to make some money and have a quality player in the squad till we sell him. I think that would come down to Welsh willing to take a drop in wages for short time. of Course, remains to be seen if a suitable loan deal will be offered which is probably a more likely outcome if we want to see him play for us the rest of this season.
