mio Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 A really good insight into what a modern day player goes through. The boy is not a natural goalscorer but is working hard on every aspect of his game to improve technically and up his goal tally. hes been a revelation this season and I’m delighted for him and delighted for the doubters who’d wrote him off before he kicked a ball. A great example of why you shouldn’t write off a player. What doesn’t work for a player at one team might work at another team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Love this guy. We all doubted him but his workrate could never be questioned. Putting it out there but with Mika leaving did that actually help as he then got moved to a central position? Just curious 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika would probably have attracted all the headlines but his departure opened up the opportunity for someone else and Theo has certainly taken that chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 (edited) Just shows you when the a player meets the right manager anything can happen.Kettlewell and the coaching staff have brought Bair on ten fold with the right coaching,proper analysis and Bair has listened worked hard to where he has got to this season to this point. Fantastic from all involved and this is the kinda video I hope the club makes more of found it such an insight.

MJC Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 A thoroughly uninspiring signing who looked thoroughly uninspiring for his first few months or so. But his workrate was never in question and he has been without doubt a much improved player since mid to late December and has clearly grown in confidence and is now a key part of the team that we wouldn’t want to be without. I like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Turns out a professional football manager knew more about coaching players than random punters on a message board. 5 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious There's definitely truth in what you say there,as much as I wanted mika to stay,him going gave bair the chance to be the main man up front,which he has grabbed with both hands and at the same time we're developing our own player rather than a loanee and a player that we most likely will have a lot of interest in come the summer,who would have thought that a few months ago when he signed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who'd havce thunk it ?? he's certainly defied the experts 🙂 That Vale bloke was a pish panic signing as well. In fact, the last two windows have been a complete failure if I'm reading the forum correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. It will be pivotal time in his career if he can reach next level or not. Certainly Rangers couldn't cope with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Delighted for the big man. What a transformation and thank feck now it's a 2yr deal he's on. ( Which if I had said 4 months ago would have been the most hilarious comment I have ever made on this forum) FEED THE BAIR!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsince75 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Another very good advert for our club. There’s been several players who have developed and flourished during kettlewells reign . great to see Bair get an international call up , another positive reason to come and play for the Well .

Just curious I never doubted him , I just didn't join the Wikipedia fed "he's shite" before I saw him play. Same with Jack Vale both have turned out better than I could have hoped for. I don't know if these sites are anywhere near accurate if they are we have work to do on his current wages never mind extending his contract. https://salarysport.com/football/scottish-premiership/motherwell/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 He was on $81,375 guaranteed in his last season in Vancouver, which is about £65,500. That would be quite a drop in wages if that site is accurate. (The Vancouver one is accurate because MLS teams have to publish their salaries every season). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 It might be some visa/work permit thing, on top of his payoff for St. Johnstone. Also, that site is made up. British teams don't publish their player salaries like the MLS clubs do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
