Are you sure about that? I thought we got a % of the £2m Cardiff paid for him? I don’t think the capital gains style thing your talking about applies to add on deals? I suppose we’ll fine out when the accounts go in.

Rumour mill going mad about Max Johnston going to Derby for £1.5m, also Celtic now interested due to their Canadian fullback potentially out a while. a derby contact said the deal was getting agreed and that Motherwell were getting 15% add on?? A few folk replied to the guy saying that he was out of contract so Motherwell wouldn’t be entitled to anything (that was my take as well) however this person seems in the know and said Motherwell had concluded a deal prior to his contact expiring and Sturm Graz signed up to it to guarantee his signature. if that’s the case someone at Motherwell needs a gold medal.

This

That’s be a really good addition. Let’s hope it is or another striker. Just get on with it Motherwell and tell us.

Well we’ve signed someone but I can’t make out who it is with the Twitter page. I wished they’d just fkn tell us!! I find that signing in darkness annoying

Was ODonnell captain yesterday? Have I missed that he’s taken over the captaincy from McGinn? he’s been doing really well, long may it continue. In the words of yogi hughes “he’s a gid big honest laddie.”

I think the powers at be have did well with the JBA appointment, I know it’s early but I get a better vibe from him that he’s here for the long haul than I did with Wimmer. I liked Wimmer, he seemed a genuinely good guy but I’m not sure whether it was his grasp of English or demeanour but I never felt he looked that comfortable here. JBA looks comfortable, he’s clearly got ambition to do well here, his teams play nice football, his English is phenomenally good, he talks up the support and overall I don’t see any negatives from him so far. Would we have taken over 1000 fans to Perth yesterday under Kettlewell……. That’s a NO!!

McInnes already showing signs of playing like a stock sample anti football McInnes team and their natives are getting restless. 1-0 Motherwell

3 players from our academy on at the final whistle today and another excellent talent with Forrest on the bench. I think this is all very positive

We never get home games!! Could be worse but it could have been better uglies get their decent draws yet again. Unreal

Did you see Bailey Rice at that Alloa goal? Pathetic…. if that’s an example of his work, no thanks.

I thought ODonnell did well again but Just was exceptional, ran out of steam in ET but I thought he was brilliant today.

We can pick holes in this performance but at the end of the day we were playing the best team in the championship at home and we won. Give me this as oppose to our last game in the cup up there all day long. bring on the quarters

Get in Faddy!!!! He’s been quieter today but a great finish

Just should have done better there, Odonnell did well getting up there but if you watch AP he didn’t even give him an option for a cut back, standing static behind the defender. the longer this goes on the more likely we are to lose a goal

The Players look knackered

To be fair they do agree with me that Just has been the best player in the park

Osong, shown enough in 2 mins to look like he’ll be useful

He’s just did that again, another half chance and a terrible touch. he’s been rotten today. He’s not a player I dislike either but he’s been well off it today.

Great play from Just, nice dunk through to AP who once again has a bad touch

There’s actually decent balls at times whipped in, there was one 2 mins ago where AP should have been in there in front of the defender. We had a few in the first half. We need a striker as I don’t think AP is the guy we need. His movement is always away from the goal.

AP’s really slow, I just don’t think he suits the way we play. We need him mobile and making space for himself. Too often he’s standing static next to a defender

How the fk did he clear that off the line? That was lucky

Wee Just is working his ar5e off in there, he’s doing well.

Minutes applause for sammy Johnson before the game. I hadn’t realised he was max johnsons uncle
