I don't see Reid playing a significant part going forward and would be disappointed if Law was first choice right back. If Watt can do the business then great but he's ultimately a centre half. 2 strikers plus Skippy is a big ask but I think it's what we'll end up with. Erwin and Sutton both need replacing. Baraclough likes to have options from the bench.

Definitely think adding quality to the midfield is key. It's been one of our main failings in the last 2 seasons and I think we have finally reached the point where we can't rely on Lasley every week. We also need to play a midfield three on a more regular basis. There should be scope with Vigurs, Lawson and Carswell all leaving. My shopping list would be Skippy, Laing, keeper, midfielder, 2 strikers, back up centre half and ideally a right back.

One of the best kits ever. IIRC, we were treated to a couple of outings at Fir Park.

I see the Motherwell Times are speculating about Livi striker, Jordan White. Hopefully we get a few in before heading to the Netherlands, including Laing and Skippy.

Lionel confirmed on a 2 year deal. Well pleased.

Ah, so a foreign team on Scottish soil..,

Do all diddy teams play in the 1st round of the petrofac cup? If so, we're going to be toiling for a Scottish team on the 24th.

Would like to think Murphy would cost the best part of £2mil, with us hopefully due at least 10%. Hope he gets his move as he deserves to be playing at a higher level with a view to getting in the Scotland squad.

Massive season for Moore. Prior to his injury, I don't think there was much doubt he'd make a similar impact similar to what Erwin has went on and achieved. However, it remains to be seen if he can recover fully from his injury. I rate him highly but he looked painfully slow against Thistle and during his Ibrox cameo.

Spot on. McCall lost it the summer he contemplated the Sheffield United move and had no interest in the future of Motherwell while dishing out deals to Lawson, Vigurs, Neilsen and McHugh. Humping Rangers was all the sweeter for McCall being in the oppositions dugout.

Confirmed that our recently appointed Head of Recruitment is on his way. http://www.gateshead-fc.com/5438/heed-appoint-owers-as-assistant-boss

Good spot. That is welcome news.

McGeough is a no bad wee player but he's always injured.

Looking at UEFA website, Inverness enter at 2nd round. Should they progress to 3rd round, then our game will need to move. So it's going to be short notice. Was hoping for Tynecastle early doors but a tad disappointed it's midweek. Hopefully still take a decent crowd though.

The quote on Mio was interesting. Is he still a youth coach at Celtic?

Really fascinating listen Andy. Wouldn't be surprised if a few snippets are picked up by the media. 2 sides to every story but I hated the direction the club was heading in at the time. Probably why I could never take to Boyle.

Season Ticket marketing was a giveaway.

Thought we'd have heard more about friendlies this week. I see St Mirren have booked a decent trip to Hillsborough.

I recall my confidence building as I watched his Ibrox pre-match. However this was tempered by the growing perception that he says what the fans want to hear. Turns out he was absolutely on. He and Robinson deserve credit for installing confidence in a team that had it's mentality questioned throughout the season. They also deserve huge credit for having us so well drilled in such a pressurised situation.

I was thinking the same. Hope so.

I wouldn't be surprised if we go into the season a few players light, leading to an end of August rush. It's the way of the market.

Freed youngster, Steven Higgins, gets a decent move to Queen of the South. Good luck to him.

The rumour in January was that we were close to signing Lyle Taylor. Think Partick Thistle are currently struggling to agree terms.

I suspected we'd come away from Cash Converters. Wonder what Les has up his sleeve.
