ONeils40yarder Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 craig reid looks a real prospect. Relegated with qots two seasons ago and managed to ship five goals to dundee last season in the cup. This better be a wind up. No wind-up, he is signing a 2year deal!! Not sure what you're getting your knickers in a twist about though. I have no idea how good he is, and neither do you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This better be a wind up. Scott McDonald - punted out by AFC Wimbledon, failed in multiple trials, thinking of giving up on football, Dundee Utd told him he was too small/unfit/overweight - Look at what he done for us Henrik Ojamma - released by Derby, played in some random league in Germany, played with a randon Finnish team - came to play for us, now he's going to play Champions Lge football We need to give people a chance and see them play before you say they are shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross county only kicked on when they got rid of most of their haddy first division defenders. St mirren almost got relegated because lennon thought he could use cowdenbeath players.

joewarkfanclub Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm genuinely excited by the signings Stuart McCall has already made and looks like making. Of course, none of us knows how any of them will turn out. However, given the fact that the majority of our better players have left and we seem to have replaced most of them with what appears to be similar quality for less money, has left me delighted. Just give us the icing on the cake Stuart. Go on....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many bodies have we had in that time that didn't work out? We should obviously always be on the lookout for gems to compliment the squad but when we're needing guys to put a starting lineup on the field there should be a bit more planning going on. What if all the trialists turn out to be pish which is what usually happens?

Steve Diggle Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 We've hade way more successes in the last few years than failures. Probably in the ratio 5:1 Very few have come with the worldbeater, premiership bound or in demand tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFC-craig Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Some right pessimistic bawbags on here, for a team the size of Motherwell to be looking close to signing experienced internationals such as McManus and Faddy is a real coup.

We have the makings of a good side for the coming season, i am looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm skeptical about the prospect of McManus being in a Motherwell shirt next season but he is CLEARLY a massive step up to any one else we have at the club for a central defensive position, with the exception of Hutchinson and even then has a wealth of experience than Hutchinson doesn't and probably will never have. However our top picks last season were Hutchinson/Ramsden with Cummins as deputy and since all three players are still at the club I don't see us paying much attention to this position when there are other areas we are much more deficient, especially as McManus would be a high earner. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
