Lobey_Dosser Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Interestingly, he cant get much game time in a defence that has Nicky Devlin and Luke Leahy as regular starters. Potentially suggests there isnt much difference between L1 and some of the better Scottish lower league players. Having said that, while reading up on Walsall I found a pal for Ciftci. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WZZur835hKk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinnae-punt-it Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 From what I can gather online, Donnellan is a left footed centre back. Played at right back, left back and defesive mid on loan also. Capped at U21 level. From his youtube videos....I know they don't show the full story....he look decent prospect indeed. Tall, fast, likes a tackle. A lot of boxes being ticked. Looks right footed to me from the various video clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's destined for a far higher level than we will ever be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Looks right footed to me from the various video clips. Yeah he does. I read left footed somewhere during my extensive (2 minute Google) preparation for my previous post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give you a C-.......must try harder.

Lobey_Dosser Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 If Alan Nixon is tweeting the Aldred link then its likely happening. Done well with Blackpool in league 2 before a poor spell at Bury in league 1. Seemingly not very good with the ball at his feet so he will be in good company across our backline. Other than that, should be a solid option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done well with Blackpool in league 2 before a poor spell at Bury in league 1. Seemingly not very good with the ball at his feet so he will be in good company across our backline. Other than that, should be a solid option. I thought I recognised the name and it turns out Dundee were linked with him when he was available on a free during the summer. At that point he was also being linked with Blackburn and Wigan before he eventually ended up at Bury. From having a look around the League 1 forums he seems to be very much in the Hartley mould. The gist seems to be that he's limited with the ball at his feet but he's a natural captain and leader. He was player of the year at Accrington Stanley in League 2 and also at Blackpool when they were promoted to League 1 last season. He played with Dunne at Blackpool and Bowman at Carlisle. You'll find some footage of him chucking himself into tackles, winning headers and making blocks here: Also, going by his Instagram he's also an absolute unit. So that's nice.

Toxteth O'Grady Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 The Sun have obviously been keeping an eye on this thread. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/2093108/motherwell-stephen-robinson-inverness-blackpool-tom-aldred/ WELL SWOOP Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson lines up move for former Inverness and Blackpool defender Tom Aldred The 27-year-old has represented Scotland at youth level and made four appearances for the Highland side during Terry Butcher's time in charge EXCLUSIVE By Kenny MacDonald 14th January 2018, 11:38 pm MOTHERWELL want to bring former Scotland youth international Tom Aldred back north. The 6ft 2in central defender will be allowed to leave League One Bury just six months after joining them from Blackpool. GETTY IMAGES - GETTY 1 Aldred during his time at BlackpoolAldred previously came north from Watford in 2011 for a proposed six-month loan deal at Inverness Caley Thistle. But he lasted just four games under Caley boss Terry Butcher, who cut short the arrangement after a month after Aldred conceded a penalty in a 2-0 home defeat against Rangers. He was dropped and sent to play for a Caley second string side in a North of Scotland Cup tie. Aldred, 27, went on to make more than 100 appearances for both Accrington Stanley and Blackpool.

Big Stall Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Robbo really does like his big burly bruisers doesn't he! Not that I'm complaining, if he's as good as Hartley generally is, then he will certainly strengthen our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
