I think with the way people talk about the club as being a family and the like, there is a danger that our model could undermine this with what looks like is going to be an annual rebuilding job. Therefore I think that it is beneficial to keep the likes of lasley and Hammel around, within reason. On the other hand, a bad experience could sour a reputation they've build up. I'll add that I don't think that, outwith a few extremes, the assistant manager makes that much of a difference. Will we ever see a player put in the number of appearances either of them have?

The issue is less that we need to sell for cash flow, but that they're in the last year of their deals. I'd love to extend them and keep them another season, but I don't think we can swing that.

There's potential of money for moult, heneghan, and sell ons for Marvin this year, so we could be in a decent position financially. I'd agree with the above that it would be best for the club if they move before the season, so that we don't have a situation like last year where we couldn't replace Marvin in time.

Gael seems a nice guy, and down to earth. His story is something too, with him originally moving to the U.K. as a refugee, and the shenanigans with his international career. As far as Robbo's interview goes, I am encouraged by the amount of work he is putting in personally to identify and secure the signings. Doesn't guarantee there won't be a Blyth or a fletcher in there, but I get the impression that he won't be taking a punt on anyone and he has clear idea of what he needs.

All of fishers goals this season

Flow said we'd been in on him for a while, and almost had him in 2015. No more signings today, but next 2 or 3 not far away.

Which part of Ireland is Burundi in? Exciting signing, mainly because it's completely out of nowhere and we finally have our first burundese(?) I like the look of fisher, although that's mainly based on watching him against us. So it looks like our wish of a Blyth/bowman departure might come true.

Bob mchugh signs for Morton Figured I'd post it in case someone missed it two posts earlier

First signing to be announced this afternoon! Can't wait to argue about it!

It's a rollercoaster. Maybe the club leaked it so that we'll accept lasley's 2 year deal better.

There you go, I'll end the panic I started - from Scott Mullen: Understand talk of @MotherwellFC interest in Willo Flood is unfounded. Apparently 'never on the radar'. Same goes for Spittal

I'm sure whoever wrote that just figured that we're shite + he's Irish and so is our manager + he's out of contract + some guy tweeted it = story.

Willo Flood? Nope. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1091670/dundee-united-midfielder-willo-flood-in-line-for-a-move-to-motherwell-as-boss-stephen-robinson-plans-overhaul

The only mentions of the guy are one of those fake agent accounts on Twitter, and on here (I think I posted it after seeing it on one of those twitter accounts) .Which although count as primary sources for our tabloids, are probably bollocks.

I'm going to make a wild prediction that we'll sign 2 players that we actually know, and the rest will just be complete unknowns.

Seems a long shot, he's still only 29 and I'd think he could get a game in the championship. Look forward to the rumour being in the record tomorrow though.

Not sure where I got James from. Both Plymouth guys are out of contract, but Carey looks like he could get a better paying gig than us.

As far as speculation goes, the only names that have been mentioned are: Graham Carey - Plymouth James tanner - Plymouth Jordan Owens - crusaders None of the mentions had any substance to them though, and Carey seems unlikely, just speculation on p&b or Twitter.

I'd expect most of the signings in shortly before pre-season, with maybe a couple of loan signings coming in later after their teams have sorted their squads.

Can we just bring back the baggy 90's strips, so that the average overweight fan can hide my fat better?

They like themselves a divisive motherwell player down there!

I think the days of us announcing all the signings at once are gone, shame.

Can he still play? Takes a good penalty.

A winger, who plays for Plymouth, and Reading? I think that scores 100 on our scouting system.

Cue announcement of new u21 reserve goalkeeper to a chorus of outrage
