ropy Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 2 hours ago, CSmith said: Thing is, we’ve already confirmed Frear and Hastie have gone, Cadden looks rather unlikely that he’ll be playing for us next season and despite us trying to keep Ariyibi, he hasn’t yet signed. Surely that means the only winger we can guarantee that we have is Hylton, meaning we’ve potentially lost 4 and so far only have confirmed 1. Makes sense to be looking for a good few Aye, but I would like to see 4 across the front, Turnbull behind, any jobbers you want across the back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSmith Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 2 hours ago, capt_oats said: Related to that, the official site has now refreshed the squad lists (Cadden's still there for the moment): First Team: GK: Carson / Ferguson / Gillespie DF: Tait / Hartley / Dunne / Donnelly MF: Cadden / Campbell / Grimshaw / Turnbull FW: Johnson / Tanner Interesting that Donnelly appears to have been given another year without a proper announcement. (Unless I’ve missed one of course.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unless I’ve missed one of course.) Nah, he was signed on a 2 year deal. Quote Motherwell FC can confirm the signing of Hartlepool United defender Liam Donnelly. The 22-year-old Northern Ireland international centre back has signed an initial two-year contract, subject to the usual registration formalities, with the club paying an undisclosed fee for his services. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty weirdly written article tbh. Fwiw, the boy that writes the blog seems to be a Motherwell fan. I noticed a short conversation in the mentions between the writer and a local journo re: Powell. Tbh, he sounds exactly like the type of player we'd be in for. Anyway I found a few more goals from Powell that are more recent than the ones I posted at the weekend.

Ron Aldo Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 To the surprise of absolutely no one, Ross McCormack has been released by Villa. Does anyone think it would be worth offering him a deal? If we can get him fit and enjoying football again then there's definitely still a player in there. Obviously we couldn't pay anywhere near what he was on at Villa but 3 goals in 3 seasons along with various other issues doesn't really put him in the strongest negotiation position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casagolda Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Aye, Robinson’s already on record as emphatically ruling that one out. Given he was sent back to Villa a month after he arrived due to a mysterious ‘calf injury’, then was never spoken of by the club again, I’m going to go out on a limb and say Robinson wasn’t overly enamoured with his attitude and sent him packing. To be honest at 32 and already a multi millionaire, you have to wonder what motivation he actually has left to get himself back fit and playing again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 As @Casagolda says, Robinson was emphatic in ruling it out as a possibility when asked about it at the time. Tbh, despite our post-break form being v.good (Top 6-worthy) in hindsight it's pretty disappointing when you start thinking how much more fun a side with an interested and even half-fit McCormack could have been alongside Turnbull, Gorrin, Campbell, Hastie and Ariyibi rather than Main spending his time running around being physical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonwell Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Aye, McCormack came back up the road to get pished with his mates by the looks of it. Real shame as he could still of been a great player for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke92 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Tbh I was pretty gutted about the whole McCormack thing, it would have been class to see him come back up the road and work his magic. I didn't realise just how far off it he was in terms of fitness. In the games he played he honestly looked like a normal civilian dragged off the street chucked into a professional football game, was pretty eye opening. It was really shite to see, especially when he starred in my favourite Motherwell team. I hope for his sake he finds the passion again to play at a decent level but I'm not convinced. From the start he never seemed like a Robinson type player. I don't know if the transfer was all contact through Burrows or how it actually came to be. In January things were pretty desperate for us and on the face of it looked like an unbelievable signing. Again though, I think Robinson would have been mad to turn a player of his quality down but the whole thing just didn't work at all.
