underboyleheating Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Not sure if this possible loan signing has been mentioned. SkySports Well eye United starlet Scots consider De Laet Motherwell are weighing up a move for Manchester United youngster Ritchie De Laet, skysports.com understands. The SPL side are looking to bolster their squad ahead of the new season and they are thought to be exploring the option of signing De Laet on loan. Motherwell officials are believed to have watched the Belgian in recent weeks for United's reserves in pre-season action and have been impressed by De Laet. De Laet joined United from Stoke last January and made his Premier League debut on the final day of last season against Hull. Te 20-year-old is well down the pecking order at Old Trafford and United boss Sir Alex Fergusoncould consider loaning him out so that he can get regular first-team action under his belt.

Juan Kerse Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 We need a goalkeeper, a right back, an established, good quality attacking central midfielder who will score goals and a striker. These are the positions we NEED to fill. Giles Coke is an Attack minded midfielder. It would be folly to imagine another coming in imo. Striker, Centre Half, Right Back, Goalie in first then we can add 'extras'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 More than one striker is required. Sutton is a very, very average striker and won't provide enough goals to challenge for the top 6. Murphy is very raw still and again, won't provide the goals. If we sign just one striker and have to rely on Sutton/Murphy, I can see our league position dropping.

Wellfan1984 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yet last season Sutton was one of the top 10 strikers in the SPL but he's only average in Motherwell terms? We're onto a winner than as most other clubs don't even have an average striker then? Of course he won't fire us into the top six on his own, hell Porter, Clarkson, McFadden, Scott McDonald or McCormack on their own couldn't score enough on their own to get us into the top six, never mind Sutton. Sutton along with one other (or maybe two others) can fire us in the Top Six. In fact, if Sutton plays over half of the games in the league, I bet he'll make it into the top 10 again goal scorers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmac Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Not sure if anyone else noticed two un-naturally large coloured guys sitting in the foyer tonight after the game? Were these our trialists? If so the lack of physical presence will soon be put to bed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dossertillidie Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Expect a signing today and another next week going by this from the fishel. happy days! When we do bring new faces in I know I will have a more complete squad. The young players have a chance to make the squad even deeper. Looking towards next week, we have Giles Coke registered and we will have another player in by Friday and then I can work hard to get a wild card in. “As you win games the sense of urgency builds but it is important to get the right players in, and I am hopeful of one on Friday and one before the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic2904 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Giles was sitting next to me, before the game. There also was another guy and a "coloured" guy, all looking like footballers... but only Giles had his tracksuit on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the same but to say Sutton's not that good is just folly in my opinion. I've been saying for some time that he's a cracking player if used in the right way and Gannon seems to have figured that out where McGhee never could. We do need another striker to provide competition and give us different options but if we continue playing in a similar way, this could be a superb season for the big man.

I've been saying for some time that he's a cracking player if used in the right way and Gannon seems to have figured that out where McGhee never could. That's exactly it. Sutton alone up front never works because he isn't great at taking men on however last night proved having two pacy wingers gave him folk to link up with. His strength in the air and wee flicks on were absolutely integral to a few of the goals last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Diggle Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 A keeper and a right back if it's two ahead of Steua. The Sutton talk is mince btw. The big fella had a belter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he can kick a ball to be fair unlike his predecessor. Other than that definitely not the same quality as Buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I like Sutton, and Murphy seems like he will be a significant contributor this season. However, as Gannon said post-match, he doesn't like to overuse his youngsters, so we will definitely need to bring in one other striker. I don't mind if that doesn't happen in time for the game in Romania. Gannon has followed through on all his promises of signings so far, so I'm looking forward with interest to see who comes in next.
