well fan for life Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Bit random this but was there a reason Roberto Martinez hardly ever got a game during the brief period we signed him just before administration? I remember him joining but that's it.My assumption was that he was shite at football but, having never actually seen him play despite having a season ticket at the time, I have absolutely no factual basis for this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I am pretty sure he was utter baws in the few games he did play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Fair enough. I just remember getting the impression he was some big thing who was going to run the midfield for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Yeah, he just wasn't particularly good. Did get a few games but was very much a fringe player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 BBC website is carrying an article saying Turnbull's operation went well and he could be playing this year. Robinson is quoted as saying we will hopefully see his value on the pitch and receive his true value in a few months which suggests we expect to sell him in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 He also spent most of his Motherwell career pumping a local teenager* he met in The Moorings. Fair play to him. *she was over 18. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelmen Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Maybe that’s why he was so slow on the park.That’s what I remember most about him, he seemed to want ages on the ball and seemed like he was running in treacle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Can anyone tell me how good or poor Ben Hall was during his time at Motherwell please? I noticed this article in the Courier and was wondering if he would be a decent signing. He had been on loan at Notts County. My mate is a season ticket holder at County and wasn’t particularly impressed by him. I’m sure he lost his place in the side.I thought he looked decent when thrown in, but doesn’t look like he has kicked on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Christian signs.... I see we're going with him being a "wide player" and that “Christian brings us another option to play anywhere across the forward three,”. Come on lads everyone knows he's a left back. Call him "versatile" and "can play in a number of positions across the field"...or something. Edited July 12, 2019 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe you're asking about Ben Hall when there's a fake Tony Straker training top in the wild. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better... stronger... faster... By spooky coincidence, back in those days six million dollars was almost exactly £3.25 million. * * Warning - this fact may be entirely made up for comic effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welldaft Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I read in an online article in the Herald Robinson talking about looking to extend his contract beyond the end of the season, which I would be all in favour of. Also for the 1st time a direct quote stating that Gboly will not be returning as he has told Robinson he is looking at other options. Hope none of them involve a team in the same league. I liked Gboly but hopefully we have replaced him with other options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
