weeyin Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 We've sold 1 player who we'd barely miss if Dunne was fit. Hardly a firesale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzyB Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I really like Cadden but he must be one of our most overrated players in recent history. £800k would do for him nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Cadden has barely played in the correct position for the past year. It's hard to push on as a midfielder when you are stuck doing donkey work on the touchline while the ball gets booted up and down the park.

superward Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Cadden would be a huge loss. For what it's worth it's unlikely he'll be going anywhere from what I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wispy Flossy Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Cadden is not good enough to be playing at a level higher than spfl or league one irrespective of what’s considered his best position. He’s one of the least technically gifted players in our starting 11 and let’s be honest here if he wasn’t one of our own would be getting the same grief the likes of rose or grimshaw are getting as basically his redeeming attribute is effort like those two 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And in case people forget, Cadden is 21). Fraser Kerr was a Motherwell youth player until he joined Birmingham. I don't remember anyone giving him a pass because he was "one of our own".

MelvinBragg Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Does anyone think that the English transfer window closing early could help us this season? More chance of picking up players on loan or permanently who clubs couldn't get moved on in time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel that it's becoming tougher for young lads to get a chance. And if they aren't good enough then we need to look at the youth set up we have. Expand I don't necessarily think it's anything to do with the youth setup, it's just that the current bunch of kids we have at the moment either aren't quite ready for first-team football or they're not good enough. No youth setup on the planet consistently churns out top-class talent, we're even seeing Barcelona's famed La Masia go through a bit of a dry spell. At the moment we have Barry McGuire, Chris Cadden & Allan Campbell either in the team or on the fringes and probably some other names that I'm forgetting, so it's not too bad. As the old saying goes, if they're good enough they'll play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I think the problem is that privately held companies (which most clubs are), have no obligation to disclose anything like that. Anything the SFA comes up with would not be enforcable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
