Har har, you're hilarious. Campbell is the only potential premiership level player we have at our club. I predict you'll see him at a premiership club within two years max, and he will be a five million pound player in his career. I also reckon he'll be played further up the pitch this season. IMO, the best player we have produced since McFadden. Better than Pearson, McCulloch and McMillan. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellView Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 ^^ By the way, he's also a cut above Cadden. Of the two, I know who I'd have my money on gaining the most caps for Scotland, especially with the retirement of Scott Brown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) More Irish Thunderdome footage... Interesting (and pleasing) to see a few of the u20s who had been linked with loan moves a couple of weeks back (Hastie and Newell) are away on the training camp. Some amount of golf going on from the looks of the Insta stories as well. Edited June 27, 2018 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I am missing something here, McCulloch and McMillan were both before McFadden, and Pearson came through round about the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct - I am referring to players brought through at Motherwell who went on to play in the English Premiership. I look at the Premiership as two eras, Pre-Sky, and post-SKY TV. We've had very few players that have come through our youth development and went on to play in the post-SKY English Premiership. McClair & McCallister were pre-SKY, a different generation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 In the case of our current young players it's far too early to say. For me, McFadden for whatever reason never managed to reach the heights I reckon he would have been capable of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 It's good to see the fans not putting too much pressure on Campbell. That's the main thing. Also, the golf stories on Instagram. Not seen them, are we talking Golf Golf or FootGolf? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Important distinction to make I know.From the ones I’ve seen Tait, Cadden, Grimshaw, and Dunne they all love a bit of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 McFadden had a very good career for the talent he had. Injuries just made it that wee bit shorter. He never had the pace or power to really make it down in England at that time. Other than the injuries, I doubt he'd have many regrets over his career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WellView Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Daily Record reporting Wigan Athletic and Millwall are in for Cadden, opening bids of £500K Says we are looking for a million. IMO, he's a limited player and I can't see a million pounds in him. Splitting the difference would be good business for the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea - make the call and set it up. This is one thing I appreciate about my small-minded fellow Motherwell fans. Every single day during the transfer window they see players being sent out on loan who often subsequently go on to be sold for millions. It seems to be with our fans, the only clubs we can loan to are places like Stranraer and Dumbarton. The idea of lending our players to a Championship club, for example? Oh, no never. See, we're wee Motherwell, we're the wee working-class club as Burrows keeps telling us, and we should know our place. Totally beyond us to say to someone like Wigan in this case "why don't you give us £100,000 loan fee for Cadden until Christmas, and if he does well, a fixed transfer fee of £1 million?" It's a completely normal way of doing business in the professional leagues. But no, not for us - we need to remember our place, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
