McLovin Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Forget guys that there is no chance we can afford like Kasper the ghost, Smith and Stewart. Even forget a twat like Charlie Miller, he can go to Dundee. How about the players in the relegation threatened teams that would be worth a shout? Falkirk - Arfield and Scobbie? Kilmarnock - Bryson and Kyle? Are there any more that would be worth it? I don't think we could afford Arfield as I am sure he signed a new contract, don't know about Scobbie's status. I think Bryson would be a good signing. Don't really want to see Kyle at the Well but if we cant get Juke? As for a right back I am sure I heard that Murty will be available on a free, a bit old but maybe on a years contract (if we could afford him and if he was interested in moving up here - doubt it) or someone like him, giving Saunders / Page another year to develop (For some reason I am not too keen on the Welsh guy even though he has 7 caps).

Scarecrow Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 FFS, we haven't even got a corpse yet and you are trying to feed, at least wait till we have something to go on and allow it to cool first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 FFS, we haven't even got a corpse yet and you are trying to feed, at least wait till we have something to go on and allow it to cool first. Why? Do you think other clubs and fans would feel the same about Motherwell F.C.? Kyle has held talks with Aberdeen. Will be surprised if he ends up there though as he has already stated he wants to spend more time with his kid who stays in the North of England.

Gaag Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Scott Arfield would be nice, but well out of our range I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 If Arfield leaves Falkirk it will be either for the English League or Hearts/Hibs, or that was his statement the last time I spoke to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 What about Alan Combe? Good goalkeeper but not getting a game at Kilmarnock. They will probably want him off the wage bill if they get relegated. Has some previous with the 'Well support though and he's had injury problems in recent times. Might be a bit of a risk but since Ruddy is going and most of the support don't seem to rate Fraser... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punk_in_drublic Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 That Cammy Bell seems like a real decent keeper. Combe is good as well, but as Finlay says, he is a bit older than Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weesacs Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Falkirk - Robert Olenik - reasonable keeper, is he better than Fraser?? Tam Scobbie - i think he's decent, not the best, not the worst but good cover for LB/CB if Reynolds is offski Arfield - defo - but out our league Barr - defo, again out our league - anyway has he not signed for Hearts / Hibs? St Midden - Andy Dorman - probably the best player from these 3 teams, altho recently been out the team. Probably out of our league - the OF may take a chance on him Paul Gallacher - same as Olenik, decent - is he better than Fraser? Billy Mehmet - too similar to Sutton? Big John seems to be playing alot at Left Mid recently - I would be happy to give him a chance Michael Higdon - monster of a man, but great in the air and holding the ball up - will never run all day, but if we have someone to do that, could be a good shout Graham Carey - on loan from Smeltic - I was impressed with him any time we played them - could we do a deal for another season long loan? or will he want back at Smackhead to see if he is in with a shout Kilmarnock - Mark Brown - another on loan from Smeltic - would he want to come back? Kevin Kyle - i'd take him Danny Invincible - worth a punt for his name alone! Craig Bryson - would he want to come back? Allen Russell - i think he'd be worth a punt Touill - defo a gifted player, but maybe too much of a luxury for our team I also wouldnt mind seeing Severin or Maguire for us, altho I do think they are only at Killie the now because of the tango man. Maguire would probably cost money, maybe McGhee would just be happy ot get him off the wage bill?? As for Severin, he must be on a fair bit at Watford, but i'd be happy to have him as a squad player as he can play centre half or he can play the holding role Cant believe i've listed that many Killie players when I think there team is shite!!!

Jonesy Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Falkirk - Robert Olenik - reasonable keeper, is he better than Fraser?? He's murder. A fucking bombscare of a keeper St Midden - Andy Dorman - probably the best player from these 3 teams, altho recently been out the team. Probably out of our league - the OF may take a chance on him I'd love to see us take a chance for him. Agree with you though, the OF or a Championship side will snap him up. Billy Mehmet - too similar to Sutton? Big John seems to be playing alot at Left Mid recently - I would be happy to give him a chance This guy is fucking shite. Scored 3 league goals all season. I'll give up if we signed him. Plus I wouldn't want him to score so we didn't have to watch his shite celebration. Kilmarnock - Mark Brown - another on loan from Smeltic - would he want to come back? Good goalie, doubt he'd come back though Kevin Kyle - i'd take him Wouldn't touch him. Still living off his form of last season. He's been ranked all season and is injured too much. Craig Bryson - would he want to come back? Another I would like to see us take a chance on. Looks a good reliable player whenever I've seen him. When was he here before???

Burn_Broomfield Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Scobbie is currently on 2k a week basic, so I'd imagine he would be out of our price range. Ideally you would be looking at: Falkirk Ryan Flynn Scott Arfield Tam Scobbie Jack Compton Pedro Moutinho Burton O'Brien St Mirren Andy Dorman Killie Manuel Pascali Mehdi Taouil Craig Bryson Cammy Bell Scott Severin(though he's at Watford, I doubt he'll be there much longer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Forgot Ryan Flynn. Think he'd be a great signing for us. Would be an ideal replacement for O'Brien and could prove to be more effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smalltown Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 what is Tuffy's contract status? if he's available, I think he'd be a good choice for us. maybe a tad pricy, for someone coming up from a lower division, but I don't think you should try to save money on the keeper.

el-pidge Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Last year we got priced out for a few First division players. Why are we likely to do any better picking up the driftwood from relegation strugglers this year? Quiz question: When was the last time we signed a player from a relegated spl team?

Tuffey is out of contract at Thistle, good keeper but small,possibly under 6 foot. + Jonesy, Bryson was 1 of the youth players released under a cloud in the admin days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_M_F_C Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Quiz question: When was the last time we signed a player from a relegated spl team? (i don't know) Michael Fraser... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamb Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 On the goalkeepers mentioned; Paul Gallagher - miles better than Fraser, I would have loved to have signed him from Dunfermline last summer BUT he was on daft money there.... Mark Brown - no longer on loan at Killie, signed a 2.5 year deal with Hibs in Jan, and is currently out injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Flynn and Bryson are the only two that would entice me but I doubt we could get either. Interested to see if we go for this Thistle keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Jim McAlister is 'definately' leaving Morton under freedom of contract. Was it last season he ripped Hibs a new arsehole in the League Cup? Might be worth a flutter. James Wesolowski and Mickael Antoine-Curier are both finishing up on loan deals at Hamilton - I think both would be welcome additions to our 1st team squad. Also at Accies Tomas Cerny has only one year left on his deal which means he could be approached in the January window on a pre contract. I think he's an excellent goal keeper one of the best in the league. I'd love to see Craig Bryson at Motherwell. He doesn't score the goals like Dorman does but I think he is overall the best midfielder in the bottom three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
