something else Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Baraclough bid for this guy back in August, but it was knocked back. Recently signed for Cork City on a free. Chance missed or bullet dodged? http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/league-of-ireland/cork-city-have-swooped-to-sign-greg-bolger-from-st-pats-but-some-big-names-are-leaving-leeside-34197214.html Hard to say considering we don't really see much of him, although I think if he was decent enough I think he would have got a move away from Ireland.

underboyleheating Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 The new goalie is Samson Yeah, if Ripley gets called back, Samson will be our new number one. I personally hope we can sort out an extension in order to keep a bit of consistency in what is a specialised position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Ripley has agreed to stay on. McGhee mentioned in the press conference before Celtic. Still talking to Man U about Grimshaw and sounds like Taylor is offski although McGhee didn't explicitly say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Clocked that McGhee mentioned about Ripley agreeing to stay on the other day as well. Noticed on a Reading fan Twitter account that Taylor was back down watching them last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprawell Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 A player I would take back in a heartbeat...Lee Erwin, here's what Steve 'Pie Muncher' Evans had to say last week 'Evans told the BBC: “Lee needs to get fitter. He can either get fitter or go to Scotland but the nice thing is he’s working hard at Thorp Arch. “When we get him where we want - which is only where he was at Motherwell. Someone here let him go out of control – he’ll have a future at Leeds United, I’m sure.”' Get him back up here for half a season, imagine him with Moulty and a McDonald, what a forward line!!

ropy Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I assume he can't play for us as he has played for 2 clubs already this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Was disappointed he left, but delighted that Moult replaced him. Hoping Fletcher will be challenging Louis soon and we can sell both of them on for a profit. Then it's Mackin's chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Erwin had a purple patch towards the end of last season, but upto then he'd flattered to deceive. We're more than adequately covered in that position, certainly in terms of numbers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 The niggling concern with Erwin was whether he'd manage to keep his feet on the ground and going by Evans comments, he has failed to so. Hopefully he gets himself sorted out. More than good enough to have an impact in English championship. As it happens, McGhee would have been excellent for his development, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Lee Erwin could absolutely transform our season by scoring 2 goals against Kilmarnock and fuck all against everyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superward Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 1. We don't need a striker on loan. 2. We certainly don't need one who is basically only played well in a handful of games in his only full season and hasn't played regularly since May.

supermarv Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Not saying we should look for a striker but if we were I think we should have a look at Tom Hitchcock, young lad who plays with MK Dons, played with qpr due to me liking qpr I've kept an eye on him decent player and also not too bad record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StipeIsGod Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 It's a strange one. I wasn't desperate for him to stay by any means, but I'm oddly happy that he is staying. Bits of his game need improvement but I'd like to stay consistent there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hoping that something can be done to get Grimshaw til the end of the season. Really becoming crucial to the way we play... He has been superb over the last 5-6 weeks. He is out of contract at United in June. I would expect United wouldn't be hard to deal with for the extension. He may even consider a permanent move come the summer... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 http://www.motherwelltimes.co.uk/sport/local-sport/well-deal-in-ripley-and-grimmy-1-398545056Sunday 27 December 2015 0 Motherwell manager Mark McGhee is delighted that he looks set to retain loan stars Connor Ripley and Liam Grimshaw until the end of the season. Goalkeeper Ripley (22) and midfielder Grimshaw (20) were due to return to their respective parent clubs Middlesbrough and Manchester United next month, but both are in discussions to remain at Fir Park until next summer. Connor and Grimmy have been excellent and I expect them both to stay until the end of the season, McGhee said. I think the deals will get done by next week. Ill be delighted to get them signed, because I dont want to be scrambling around looking for players. Connor has the makings of a really good keeper. He has all the attributes hes a big lad, with a real presence and great confidence. He does some really hard work and when he goes back down to his parent club he could be in contention for a starting place there. Grimshaw has also been terrific. Hes come from Manchester United but hes one of us. He has total heart for Motherwell and works as hard as any player here. He is a great lad whos getting better and better with each game.
