McDonald has been on Radio Scotland the last 3 days. If his family isn't set on going back to Oz, maybe he'll line up against us this season.

Cheers Holly. This should free up a few quid. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/1289728/motherwell-striker-jacob-blyth-geordie-shore-holly-hagan-powder-hippy-crack/

McHugh, by a distance.

Agreed. Just wondering what movement he was suggesting this week if it isn't Moult leaving.

Post match, Craigan says he expects Moult to be here when the window closes...

Decent enough start to the season with some really well taken goals. Back 3 gives me the fear but Robinson is clearly trying to address this area. I suspect our general play won't be pretty this season but it'll hopefully prove effective if we can maintain a spine of quality players. Morton could be a proper test next week.

Just shite.

Rangers still keen on Jamie Walker by the looks of it. If this eventually happens, I can see Hearts coming back in with a testing offer for Cadden.

Afraid it was a textbook Dom Thomas performance. If McCulloch can get a final ball out of Dom then all credit to him.

Indeed. After all the due-diligence prior to making the appointment, the twitter feed didn't last long.

Erwin wouldn't be a direct replacement for Moult but he's someone I'd take back at Motherwell. No idea if him and Robinson got on well at Oldham but if they did, I imagine we'll have made enquiries. Erwin certainly offers the athleticism that Robinson craves. Having said all that, he's being linked with the likes of Charlton and MK Dons so would be surprised to see him leaving Leeds without a deal to an English club being close to completion.

Don't think Dembele will be much of a miss. Unless McManus is crocked, I think we have far greater priorities tbh.

Motherwell and Moult are playing this perfectly. Main frustration however is that there doesn't appear to be much of interest from clubs down south. Hopefully that changes prior to late August. Here's hoping this can be solved sooner rather than later, allowing us to reduce the debt by £200-300k whilst leaving scope to bring in 2 quality players on a decent wage. With at least 1 of the players meeting the Marvin/Moult blueprint.

Just a thought all those players flow was excited about on Robinsons wish list do you think we've got any of them so far

Aye but he'll not be playing as a striker.

McInnes wants a proven goalscorer to compete with Rooney. The centre forwards mentioned above, Storey and Stockley, aren't up to the task and will be offloaded in due course.

I think Aberdeen will still be looking for a centre forward but depending on the fee paid for GMS, an increased offer for Moult may well be out the question now.

I have no problem at all with Moult comments, I just feel he is under valued. I read Hibs rejected 1milion for McGinn For me Moult has been the most consistent player outside Celtic 1st team. An offer of 250k is an insult we paid 175k for Shaun Mcskimming

No surprise if we go down the 4231 route. However, for that formation to be successful you need a right good number 10. We may or may not have made an offer for Scougall or Carey but either of them would have made perfect sense. Surprises me that we seem content with a list of unproven options for such a key position.

His comments are perfectly fine. He and the club know it's mutually beneficial to get him sold in the next few weeks. Shame he's not fit enough to bang in a few goals during the League Cup and generate further interest.

Good luck to him. If he's going to flourish anywhere, it's likely to be Kilmarnock. Good young manager that is committed to giving kids the chance and playing football in the right fashion. Hopefully with any opening for first team football, will make Dom screw his head on and fulfil his potential.

Concern for me is that we've spent our budget without replacing McDonald. Finding a replacement is easier said than done, just look at Aberdeen recently, but I'm surprised we've not done more to replace him directly.

We've signed a number of players that come with questionable credentials, including Dunne, Rose and Tanner. That doesn't mean they can't develop at Motherwell but I'd have expected 1 or 2 more quality additions in the Moult/McHugh mould. Really surprised and to an extent, concerned, that we haven't opted to replace McDonald. This should have been our top priority going into the summer.

Anyone listening to the BBC commentary? Did I hear Carson knocked back £1800 a week at Hartlepool? Generally, commentators are taken aback by how poor we are,

Yeah don't think that's far away from out strongest lineup at present. Although the prospect of Rose replacing McDonald doesn't fill me with confidence. Wonder what the script is with McManus. Having played with the u20s on Sat, is he gradually working his way back to fitness or will he be involved in the wheeling and dealing...
