Just out of interest, what's this based on? I have never seen him but have only ever seen folk say generally awful hings about him and seena few awful highlights 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, is McHugh out of contract this summer or has he re-signed and I’ve forgotten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 He signed a new 2 year deal in July last year so not out of contract till next summer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleeastdave Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I believe Adam Livingstone has got a 1 year contract extension, which is good news for the Well supporting family and has merited the contract having seen him in the under 20's and is definitely a good prospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a former colleague who is a lifelong Airdrie fan who has kept in touch after I moved away from Scotland. They have been very positive about Ferguson, though phrases like “ not the finished article” and “still needs to work on his weaknesses “ have appeared in the last season. He does know his football though and I would generally trust his judgement. He was genuinely upset when we signed Ferguson, as he thought he was bound for bigger and better things.

Baseless nonsense. Must be related to Agent Scotland! We'd get more for Cadden leaving on freedom of contract than we would selling him this summer, Aldred has hardly missed a game since he came in, pushing Naismith as a much better player than Tait and suggesting our defence needs "quality and depth" when we have just broke a clean sheet record is just a few blaring bits of utter bollocks.

Yep, the whole thing is inaccurate with no real substance. You would almost think the guy had not seen a Motherwell game this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Quote Moving to the forward line and our check will be on process of statistical elimination. The contenders - Mikael Mandron of Colchester, Franco Ferrari of Genoa (out on loan in Serie C), Filip Balaj of MSK Zilina and Gustaf Nilsson of Brondby (on loan at Silkeborg) It's that bit I like, where these guys names coming from? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Talking of which, I read somewhere that Airdrie are keen to have Hastie and Watt back for next season (signing Watt permanently if he isn't renewed with us). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuwell Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Liam Grimshaw and Andy Rose have signed new deals great news. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I don't understand resigning Rose when we should be looking to bring on Turnbull and Brown and move Cadden from wing back into midfield. The guy has had a couple of decent games when we got a flukey lead and sat on it but if you have to break a team down or chase a game he's worse than a man down.

wellowell Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Had heard about Grimshaw but Rose a pleasant surprise seems like we only need gap fillers next season as all of current team except loanees are signed up . Another striker and defence back up along with a creative midfielder would do nicely . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rose is underestimated in truth, puts in a shift and we often looking better with him in the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously thinks on our budget this style of football gives the best chance of success. Hard to argue after this season really. Not always pretty to watch but again can we afford players with a better technical ability that would develop us further ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The same signing philosophy would apply. Young players lacking first team opportunities with a point to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we can’t afford this kind of ready made technical player. However, you can sometimes get lucky with the occasional promising youth player coming through if you can hang on to him for a short while. Or a loanee who has lost their way in the game and are trying to reestablish themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. Rose is very much a player`s player doing a lot of unseen work. The club deserve to be applauded. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think there was much of that. He was pretty realistic about where Airdrie are at present. Just happy that he still had his team to follow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
