one m in Motherwell Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I actually refuse to believe we might be trying to play 'football' the rest of this year. This guy looks good, and there's a lot to be said for a totally random signing out of nowhere. Starting to tick the boxes in terms of what we're needing across the squad, I'm kinda looking forward to the County game now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand 2 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Ariyibi is one of the players that Caldwell bemoaned being sold from underneath him at Chesterfield - not that his judgement appears to be any good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if its in the above one, but there's a clip of him Cruyff turning some boy into another dimension. Looks quite entertaining - intruiged to see what he's like without a Wyscout circle around him. Spoiler He'll be getting called a Sand Dancer on Steelmen by mid-february. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Have we had an American player before? Can't think of one off the top of my head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Again without falling into the YouTube compilation trap, just on optics alone...he's 6ft and looks built. No disrespec' but compared with the bold Elliot Frear who's like the side of a fiver yer man looks like he fits more in Robinson's 'big, physical Motherwell' mould. Also, he's quite Marvin Johnson-esque in his gait which is something we've definitely lacked. With specific reference to the YouTube video, it really is some laugh he's just running at full backs for fun. 4 minutes ago, nsr said: Have we had an American player before? Can't think of one off the top of my head. The List of Motherwell F.C Players wiki says Gerry Baker (56-58) and Tommy O'Hara (81-83). Both well before my time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Has Cadden been injured long term? I saw online rumours that we're in for him on a pre-contract, not sure whether to believe it or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 He's got a knee injury - another couple of months at least I believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a knee tendon injury: https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/club/team-news/ I wouldn't be surprised if Aberdeen were interested but given Lewis Ferguson cost £237,950 off the back of 14 games for Accies, you'd imagine Cadden's development fee would be quite pricey given he's been at Motherwell longer than Ferguson was at Accies and has 131 appearances and 2 full international caps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both well before my time. I remember my Dad telling me a story about two brothers who played for Motherwell where one played for Scotland and the other for America. Is this that guy? Something along the lines of their father was in America during the war and one kid was born over there. Back in those days it was a very simple process of you played for the country you were born in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I'm more surprised as I reckon he'd try his hand down the road before moving to us. It would also be his last year you're entitled to a cross-border fee too so wouldn't be surprised to see him sign for another year or so. Am I correct in thinking he plays more centrally for you now? We could be looking at him as a replacement for Shinnie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had been playing as a wing back and was fine but it didn't get anywhere near the best from him. He finally found some form playing at right back then his knee fell to bits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he's a bit of an enigma. Can't see Derek looking at a right back to replace Logan unless he can play several positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 No disrespect to Aberdeen but I would be disappointed if any of our younger players saw another Scottish club as a significant step up in their career. Even Celtic, who'd doubtless offer more money but they'd hardly be likely to get much game time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Not that I want Cadden to go to Aberdeen of course, but if he played on the right hand side of midfield with Logan behind him, he'd be very good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
