WellView Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I've never been a fan of sign one day, play the next. It smacks of desperation. Cedric hasn't had a single training session with his defensive colleagues. And on top of that, his head will be spinning with the move. Anyway, the Wigan strip must be one of the ugliest I've seen for a while. Horrendous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he was very nervous throughout the game but that's understandable really. Just hope he can get a good run of games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope he can get a good run of games That was Kipre all over though wasn't it? Performed better as the game wore on. If you think back to the beginning of last season there were quite a few games like that although in fairness he wasn't alone. Think of the Rangers semi final for the best example. I thought he was pretty horrific that day (albeit he was reportedly ill) and in the first half he was all over the place, a bag of nerves and nearly sold the jerseys at least once iirc. But then he had that shot cleared off the line towards the end of the half and after that he seemed to grow in confidence and his performance improved. The Aberdeen semi in the Scottish Cup actually followed a similar pattern for him in that he was pretty ropy and nervy in the first half but settled down in the second. At the end of the day he is still a young guy and has areas of his game he needs to work on, but as I said with the proper coaching he will go on to have a good career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get up to watch the well about 6 or 7 times a season been down here 18 years and was a season ticket holder at fir park since 1981. The times i saw kipre when I was uplast season i didn't get the hype really lots of bombscare moments. So I think we done pretty good out the deal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I was pleased for the big lad to get a move down South and for us to get that sort of money. Crucially the sell on fees we add to transfers will benefit us perhaps more given the over inflated price tags they put on players down there. As for the lad playing for us - I liked him. He was solid and picked up the loose ball well I thought. Some of his passing was a bit suspect, but tbh if he was a complete player, he wouldn't be up here in the first place. He did his job for us, did it reasonably well and got a move that worked out for everyone. Good luck to him at Wigan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellView Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 We better hope none of our matches clash with Wigan's this year. Forkin' bad enough with all those fanboys going to watch Moult at PNE. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forkin' bad enough with all those fanboys going to watch Moult at PNE. Not to mention Faddy at er, what's he doing now? To be honest, I kinda get it, fans are desperate to have their heroes but that that often results in them having wild beliefs and hopes about the player in question. McFadden is the best example out there. There were and indeed are some Motherwell fans out there who would have you believe that he was a world class player, held back by Everton because they didn't use his potential properly, when in reality he just wasn't good enough at that level. Don't get me wrong, he was brilliant for us in his first spell with us and deserved his move but I think a lot of our fans got carried away over just how good he actually was or could have been. Even with Scotland although he was an absolute maverick for them and scored some crucial goals, he was always more of a 'maverick' rather than a key part of the team. I see the same thing happening with Moult and now Kipre. Both did very well in their time with us and like McFadden before them, are/will be missed. But there are some out there who put them on.a pedestal which doesn't actually match their ability on the bigger stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a guy from Wishaw that went to PNE last season but I thought that was when he was visiting family. I wonder if any watched Celtic after Stephen Pearson signed for them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) I see Flow’s given a bit more clarity re: the Kipré fee (after taking heat from a fan mewling about us not getting enough cash). Apparently it’s “the 3rd highest single transfer fee in the club’s history.” So less than Phil and Faddy but more than Clarkson?

Ron Aldo Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I wonder who he was talking about when he said we rejected £1m before having to sell him for £100k. Jamie Murphy possibly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Murphy possibly? Reynolds seems the obvious one. Though how legit a £1m bid from Rangers would be...that's a different story. Edit: while I'm looking at his timeline it seems like we're in the market for more than one new player. Which is nice. #announceAldred Edited August 5, 2018 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Aldred seems to have been training with Burys youth team and getting pelters from a section of the support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
