He’s 36 and probably looking for way more than we can pay him. He’s on 7K a week and turned down offers of around 20K a week from Milwall and Middlesbrough. Plus we Would have to pay a transfer fee to get him from a club who really don’t want to sell him. So I not sure why he would be linked to Motherwell. .

Why?

That’s the most I’ve ever enjoyed one of those pre match interviews. JBA comes across as a genuine character and seems to be enjoying his time here. He handles all the questions very well and doesn’t respond with all the worn out old football manager cliches and phrases.

I don’t remember that but I have been known to miss the odd thing or two or perhaps I was traumatized by one of Grizzly’s jokes at the time.

I must be having a senior moment, I don’t even know who that is.

I get that feeling but shame it’s going to be a free

To be fair, with Nancy in charge they told us he could stay. Then O’Neil came back and I’m assuming he said bring him back and let’s decide after the 14th. If O’Neil hadn’t came back till after 14th Welsh would have been here now.

Ok that’s Jack and Victor signed up, let’s get Slats signed up now.

Nice to see some sensible posts now and again 😂 Actually, I found it hard to believe that they didn’t recall him when Nancy was there.

I’m greedy and hoping for both.

Hopefully We’ll see news of Celtic signing a CB soon

I’m never sure who has final say in these matters if it’s club or player. Does it depend on contract wording, or Is it always the player who decides if they want to go along with what club wants or can club just tell them, “we’re still paying your wages (or part of them) so you are going on loan to XYZ” or they can tell player they are being transferred, although i would think, with respect to being sold, the player could decline or at least demand the wages for rest of his contract?

Any official announcement on the forward signing?

I’m really hoping we end up getting him back but we should be adding another CB anyway and If he does come back then we have even better squad depth.

Perhaps we will take some more “risks” up front, as in less Worried about maintaining possession, and take some shots from outside the box or earlier crosses with players in the box. Same as for any team that sets up to defend amd hit us on the break, getting an early goal or two should help force them to change tactics.
