Mitch Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 It makes sense, if what I heard about McManus hanging up his boots this summer being true... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilwell86 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 does the elokobi rumour have any sort of truth in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 It makes sense, if what I heard about McManus hanging up his boots this summer being true... What exactly did you hear Mitch? McHugh would seem to be a good choice, and although only 24 seems to have leadership qualities. With that appointment will surely come a wage rise?

Mitch Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 What exactly did you hear Mitch? Nothing concrete. Just that the injury he picked up in the second half of the season was going to restrict his ability to perform at this level. Only time will tell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is indeed the case, and it wouldn't surprise me then we'll need at least 2 new central defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is the number of central defenders Robinson said he was looking for in that extended interview he did a couple of weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'm delighted they've acknowledged he's a midfielder! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hopefully there is no truth in the McManus rumour. He can be a bit infuriating but he is our most accomplished defender when he is in the mood and on his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'WellCobra Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Couple of boys on the Well Fans II Facebook page are saying Aaron Taylor-Sinclair is on trial with us. Apologies if it's already been mentioned here but I hope he is! Would be a very good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd like to think that a contract is pretty much done and dusted if we are making a guy with currently 1 year left the new captain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 You'd like to think that a contract is pretty much done and dusted if we are making a guy with currently 1 year left the new captain. I wouldn't quite say it reads as done and dusted to me but before you encroach into financial discussions there's few things more than you can do a player to show how coveted he is than to hand him your club's captaincy.

CMWellfan Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Interesting that two of the six summer signings so far are for one year only? ( Griffiths and Rose ) . I'm maybe more surprised by Griffiths signing for one year. ......... Congrats to McHugh, make us all happy and sign a contract extension please.

Lukemfc1 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Over the moon with McHugh being appointed captain. Encouraged Robinson seems to be wiping the slate clean. Might be nothing but hoping the description of McHugh as a midfielder in the tweet is an indication that Robison won't be employing him as a centre back this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Made Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Heard a rumour this morning that ourselves and Dundee are after Stephen Hendrie, been released by West Ham.. My oldest lad used to play with him at boys club level. One of only two times I seen a Motherwell Scout out and about as well. His club Garnkirk were playing at a tournament at Rossvale and Stephen was approached and asked to consider a trial at Motherwell. Last was end of season and last I heard of him until he appeared at Accies, was so disappointed he hadn't come to our side of the motorway. If he is available, he has to be worth a look at.Hopefully he sees sense this time if a contract is offered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey_Dosser Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Both Hendrie and Sinclair-Taylor are left backs are they not? Yes.

I'm maybe more surprised by Griffiths signing for one year. ......... Congrats to McHugh, make us all happy and sign a contract extension please. It's possibly just been something that suits both parties. He doesn't need to rush out and find a new club after being released, and can consider what he wants to do while he's somewhere familiar with a shot at game time. We need a decent keeper to challenge for the #1 spot and provide viable cover. Win win. Delighted with the news about McHugh, he displayed some real character this season and seems to have the respect of his team-mates. Also indicates how highly he is rated by Robinson. A contract extension would be mightily appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well 4 Europe Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Training pictures are up on the SNS website. The big unit of a centre half on trial alluded to earlier is Bira Dembele, also one of the trialists is apparently a striker named Shaun Tuton.

'WellCobra Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 From doing a quick, basic bit of research, Tuton looks like a pacey striker, albeit, unprolific striker who is 25 and spent last season with Barrow in the English non leagues. Dembele is a 6ft 3 centre half who is a good League Two defender down south, but has never really been higher (apart from 7 games for Stade Rennais at the start of his career). Very good find however Well 4 Europe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
