bobbybingo Posted January 27, 2024 Report Share Posted January 27, 2024 Despite the injuries & departures and all of our pissing and moaning, goal wise, we recruited more successfully than anyone outside the Old Firm. Now we need another rabbit or two out the hat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted January 28, 2024 Report Share Posted January 28, 2024 The next few days could well go along way in defining our season. We need to bring in 2 strikers and maybe another defender. Easier said than done at this time of year to get the right men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted January 28, 2024 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2024 So, after this weekend I have to say that I've officially been won over by Theo Bair. As most of you know, I had very little hope of seeing him be a success at Motherwell, despite really hoping he would be. He's worked hard and has proved his doubters, including me, wrong. And I've never been happier to be wrong. We all love a "lad comes good" story, and this is one of them. Let's hope it continues for him and he can even hit double figures! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I'm more than happy with Bair's contribution so far, although my expectations were similarly low. When we signed him I assumed we saw a big athlete and hoped we could teach him enough football to be useful, and that's kind of what we've done. I'd say that Bair has moved on a bit from being just a "project" but he would benefit from having a striker near him. We are doing that thing that motherwell does. Bring in a player that no one else wanted, make him look good enough that another club will bite and give us money, then cancel the magic spell the minute the money hits the bank. Any questions? Ask Aberdeen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think you are being a wee bit hard on yourself. You were certainly not wrong to question the signing for the valid reasons you highlighted. He is doing well now and his attitude and effort sets an excellent example. Whether he is a long term solution remains to be seen but for now the project has worked fine. He needs support up front though and he should hit that double figure tablet. Well said though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all he has some detractors on here, he is easily our most important creative player right now and we should be doing everything we can to keep him. I suppose being offered a PCA doesnt mean he will accept it, so we have to at least match the St Mirren offer. It cant be miles away from what we can afford.

Kmcalpin Posted January 29, 2024 Report Share Posted January 29, 2024 I have no idea of respective wage levels in Paisley and at FP, but St Mirren do seem to have cash to burn just now, and wherever its coming from its not their gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
