Exactly. Having worked with him for a season, Stewart Kerr has clearly seen some potential in Hollis. We just have to wait and see if he gets the opportunity to fulfil his potential. It will be interesting to see if he starts the season as 2nd or 3rd choice keeper. If Fraser goes, and he will, I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 more keepers arrive.

Airdrie boy in. Fraser on his way out? Ruddy still a possibility. http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/index.php?op...&Itemid=134

Presume you will be there? Thinking about coming along...

Given that Brown will be heading away on WC duty later this week, I'd be hoping for some activity this week. Could be difficult though with many players likely to be on holiday. I imagine our youngsters are once agaon going to have to play a key role in our European adventure. On a sidenote, I clocked that Hibs signed yet another keeper yesterday and then discovered that Yves Ma-Kalamby has been released. Wonder if he is on the radar of any SPL clubs...

The SPL are prone to turning fixture lists upside down are they not? Wouldn't be surprised if we start at Home to Celtic.

Stevie Smith signs for Norwich. Hopefully he wasn't one of Broon's SPL targets.

No need to right off Forbes at the moment, I think he will come good again. Of the out of contract players mentioned I'd happily take Morias and Dorman. More likely to be Jack Ross and maybe one of the Killie boys.

Happy to see Fitzpatrick stay. If fit, he will win a contract extension no bother. Shame, DLS couldn't have been given the same offer. Given that most contracts tend to run out at the end of May, I imagine we will here more about Coke & Hateley in the coming week.

League reconstruction will save us. To be honest, Fraser appears to be on too much dough to be regarded as a backup keeper. So unless we can get shot of him, I think we are stuck with the prospect of him being our No.1 next year.

More like a nightmare.

Not surprised at all.

Would be delighted with that.

Delighted to see Murphy sign a new deal. Hopefully he is a key figure over the next couple of years.

Fair play to Coke if he can get a move to the Championship on the back of one game.

Love the bumblebee style kit.

So only Hibs need to bother about the Spanish final tonight?

There is no chance RBS will be our sponsor.

Was resigned to losing Hateley a wee while back. Cleary has ideas above Motherwell and given his ability you can't really blame him. As for Coke, it's not looking too good either. Would love to see him stay and he is a terrific prospect on his day. Sadly though, part of me thinks that his impressive performances towards the end of the season were in a bid to win a more lucrative contract.

Agreed, the situation doesn't sit easy with me.

500k for the pair of them? If we sell Reynolds it should be a no brainer. Not sure Brown would be so open in a Q&A session though and a 3 month loan deal is a non-starter.

Agreed and I think he would benefit greatly from the likes of Jennings and Lasley doing the dirty work. Furthermore, if we continue to play a couple of big strikers up front we could really do with a midfielder bursting through. A year ago we would have no chance of getting of Dorman but I think there is a more than a fair cgance he will still be in the SPL next season.

That was my initial thought.

ASB is the only local bank I can think of. Surely not though.

My thoughts as well. I can't think of many local financial institutions, if any, that could part with that type of money in the current financial climate. What scale are we talking? Local mortgage broker?

Hibs fans reckon Cregg is murder. Not able to lace the boots of Kevin McBride. Anyway, a central midfielder is far from priority at the moment.
