Kmcalpin Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 And so the rumour mill has started. Reports on P & B Ross County thread that we're interested in Blair Spittal. Their official site confirms he is leaving but that is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&A not the shop Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Decent enough SPL midfielder, still only 26 so should be approaching his prime. He'd do a job, not an exciting signing per say but a solid player at this level. Though I can see this being a case of County fans just deciding he's going to us as it seems like the sort of thing that might happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't sign a player with lots of experience from another Premiership club..no no no. the model is bring someone in from English lower / non league obscurity or Ireland etc then have a healthy debate about how they are not up to it and don't meet the standards required. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew160588 Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Would anyone consider him coming to fit park? I know he had injuries and a few health issues but a good pre season under his belt I think he would do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 I think Scott Allan is going to queens park. He doesn't fit with our style of play either, or would take the spot we're hoping Ross Tierney will fill.Spittal isn't a bad shout, not sure if there's anything in it, but wouldn't be surprised, he'd be a good fit for us. Full rebuild mode for Ross county though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knocking Blair spittal but how many times have we take. Players from the Highland teams and they have flopped. There has been far to many. I don't think I would want him IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I would want him IMO Highland teams..the bulk of his Career has been with Queens Park and Partick Thistle, and he's been a regular starter For Ross county scored 4 or 5 goals from midfield so it's not as if we are taking a punt on some random player from a Highland league team. For me he would be an upgrade on most of the midfield we have at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2plus8 Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 I’d 100% take Spittal. When he’s played against us he’s shown good movement and always looked tidy on the ball. Not to mention, I think I’ve seen him pass the ball forward to a someone else in his team a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe St Mirren will start signing future Motherwell players once they've run out of former ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Spittal is certainly one that has caught the eye whe we have been playing County, but then so was Vigurs at the time and it never really worked out for him. I think it probably comes down to the character/personality of the player, but also whether their attributes tie in with the rest of the squad / tactics / playing style. Much of that will be down to GA and how he sees us playing next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parko66 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 END OF 2021/22 SQUAD UPDATE 14:59 With the 2021/22 season at an end, we can provide supporters with the following update on players’ contracts. Liam Grimshaw will depart having spent five-and-a-half seasons at Fir Park across two spells, clocking up over 130 matches in claret and amber. The tenacious utility player was a popular figure amongst the ‘Well support, but has found first-team opportunities limited over the last year. Liam Donnelly will also leave for the final time. The Northern Irish International made 70 outings in four seasons. The versatile midfield player, who more recently showed his qualities in the defensive line, also clocked up thirteen goals and won two caps for his country whilst at ‘Well. Also exiting is Mark O’Hara, who has spent three seasons in claret and amber following a move from Peterborough United in 2019. Playing in a variety of positions, Mark managed 74 appearances and scored six goals, but has opted to join a fellow SPFL Premiership club. Other names leaving Fir Park for the last time are Darragh O’Connor, Justin Amaluzor, Jordan Roberts, PJ Morrison, Victor Nirennold and youngster Cody McLeod. Liam Shaw will return to his parent club when his loan ends early next month. “I want to thank everyone who is leaving Motherwell this summer for their effort during their time with the club,” manager Graham Alexander said. “The likes of Liam Grimshaw, Liam Donnelly and Mark O’Hara have been in our first-team for extended periods, so I want to pay particular tribute to them. Although Grimmy didn’t feature as much as he would like for me, he was always a fantastic professional and trained hard every single day and that says a lot about the type of person he is. “Any time Liam or Mark featured they gave everything, so I want to thank them both too. PJ Morrison has also been with the club from a very young age, but we both agreed he needed to kick his career on by playing regularly every week. “Everyone leaving have made their mark in some way, big or small, and we wish them well for the future careers, wherever that takes them.” THE FOLLOWING PLAYERS WILL LEAVE AT THE EXPIRY OF THEIR CONTRACT OR RETURN TO THEIR PARENT CLUB AT THE END OF THEIR LOAN: Mark O’Hara Liam Shaw (end of loan – Celtic FC) Darragh O’Connor Justin Amaluzor Liam Donnelly Liam Grimshaw Jordan Roberts Peter Morrison Victor Nirennold Cody McLeod THE FOLLOWING PLAYER HAS BEEN OFFERED AN EXTENDED DEAL: Ricki Lamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretzel Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 The club have just announced that Mark O'Hara, Darragh O'Conor, Justin Amaluzor, Liam Grimshaw, Liam Donnelly, Jordan Roberts, Peter Morrison, Victor Nirennold and Cody McLeod have all left the club. Liam Shaw obviously heads back to Celtic and we have offered a new contract to Ricki Lamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleeastdave Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Good enough for the club to issue an update, no real surprises, my personal thoughts would like to have seen O’Connor to get another contract and would have liked O’Hara to have stayed but will not loose any sleep for him to sign for St Mirren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Well Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Interesting that Lamie has been offered an extension despite signing a pre contract with Dundee...The lure of European football over Championship football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
