Dossertillidie2 Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Sat at a wedding tonight next to a good mate of snoddy's. said we offered something but so have fleetwood and believe it or not rangers. so think its looking increasingly unlikely we will be getting him. basically said he has a few offers so unlikely he will join us now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that very much. to be fair that was his reaction as well. apparently his wife has never been keen for him to sign for either of the old firm so i would imagine its a non starter, but he seemed pretty sure that we wouldnt get him in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This attacking football we are playing all of a sudden will suit him. Not necessarily as a starter, but to come off the bench and run at tiring full backs for the last 30 minutes. Efford isn't good enough for this league. He's part of the Alexander generation and we have moved beyond that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfc Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 It feels a much better environment since hammell came in and because of that we may see improvement in some players that it was never going to happen for under alexander,I'm happy enough if the squad as a whole gets the chance to impress. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 From Stevie Hammell's comments it would seem that there's a strong possibility of a few new faces arriving in the next 10 days. Also, it would seem a likelihood of some leaving. I'd be interested in getting everyone's thoughts on that. Matthew Connelly: possibility of a loan now that Aston Oxborough has arrived? Juhani Ojala: still a year to go so might be expensive to pay off, but very injury prone and not featuring much. Central defence needs strengthening Robbie Mahon: young player who might benefit from a loan David Devine: one of the older young players who has never made the breakthrough? Maybe some young lads going out on loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Aberdeen and Livi, Efford's contribution as a sub was in important factor in both victories. From a defensive point of view he supported SOD who had run his heart out and was tiring. and on the offensive side he continued the attacking threat that SOD had provided all afternoon. Exactly the impact you hope a sub will have. Something that Alexander's substitutions constantly failed to achieve. So although he might not be a world beater, let's not underplay his contribution and improvement under Hammell. I certainly don't yet see him as a first team fixture but can we please acknowledge that he has shown up and contributed. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this, I believe he offers a fair bit more to the team than Connor Sheilds does at the moment and should be starting. Connor struggles to hold the ball up or beat his man. Wee Joe can beat his man. If he can just find the end product, he’ll be a good player at this level. Time will tell if he can keep improving under Hammell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 I think Shields can contribute too. He does need to be stronger but I also think we need to play him passes inbehind the defence to run onto. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree wi u 100%.ive said that previously,some people refuse t c the work off the ball that he puts in,i think his form in the cameo roles hes had may warrant a start in place of shields,its very much like for like,a little confidence n composure i think he'll do ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Still no news on Snoddy? If he's taking this long to think about it then maybe his heart isn't fully into a move to Motherwell so we don't really need him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he takes an extra week to decide from multiple options and then chooses us you could equally argue that means he is even more committed.

If it was me at his age I would be taking my time if there was plenty of interest. Why should he rush into it, it’s not Real Madrid giving him the weekend.

Kmcalpin Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 We don't know what is going on behind the scenes. Whilst he has every right to secure the best deal for himself, the club has to look after its own interests and maybe look at other targets, given the window will be closing next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 It hopefully comes as no shock to anyone that very few players are sitting around holding out for motherwell to come in for them. Football is a job, if anyone's agent is telling them to take the first offer from us and not weigh their options, they should be fired.I'd rather we be creative and try and get players we might not otherwise, with the risk of failing a few times, than loading up our team with Manzingas.

weeyin Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 The one thing that's certain is that there is more chance Snodgrass will join our club if we make him an offer than there is if we don't make him an offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 I reckon if Snodgrass was going to sign for us he’d have done it by now. I know, I know the transfer window doesn’t shut until the end of the month but this has been rumbling away in the background for about a week now and there has supposedly been some sort of offer made to him. This sounds like his agent trying to engineer more offers from ‘bigger’ clubs in my opinion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
