Motherwell to Aberdeen seems a similar path for players as St Johnstone to Hibernian. Players who are moving sideways, purely for the money, tend to lose something on the journey. Wouldn't be surprised if Gallagher is similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Bit weird and desperate to obsessively pursue players with a connection to another specific Scottish club that's just down the foodchain, IMO. I certainly hope it's never something we get involved in. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly I don't know how it played but if he felt that with Julien out injured and Lennon being a lunatic he had to shoot his shot for a potential move to Celtic in January then I kind of get that tbh. I'll be honest and say I'm a bit surprised he didn't just keep Aberdeen in his back pocket until after the Euros on the off chance a bigger club decided to take a chance on him. I mean, a team like Aberdeen would have taken him anyway so it's a surprise that he's decided to commit to them as early. Unless, of course, they're making it worth his while to do so and he's fine with the trade off of not having to relocate etc. Edited May 6, 2021 by capt_oats 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure there was ever any actual interest from Celtic but with the complete bin fire they've had roaring away all season I don't blame him for swinging for the fences. Similarly when there were rumours they were interested in SOD. Overall I don't give a f**k really. I'm sure we can dig up some brute of a centre back from down south who wants to come up and spend a year kicking f**k out of folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 People say that PCAs are not worth the paper they are written on. It would be on trend for Dec to use an impressive substitute appearance at the Euros to whore himself out to EFL teams before committing to the contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welldaft Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I note someone on Steelmen saying Moult has been released by PNE. I can only see mention of players being advised after the last game so not sure if true. With Wrexham owned by Ryan Reynolds and Co is that a more likely destination. Would you take him back even on a pay as you play deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but to be fair to him he could just head round to yours for his tea every night so that's minimising some of his living costs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that deal was barely affordable and involved us renaming Fir Park as the Dougie Imre Stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take him back on a pay-as-you-play deal but wouldn't be relying on him as our main striker (at least not initially) given his knee seems to be held together with sellotape these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Yeah, I absolutely love Moult but it's one to be careful around. I'm guessing that lockdown probably affected his rehab the same way it did for Jake Carroll, but it looks like he done his knee after two games last season so he's basically missed two full seasons. For example, if there was a trade-off between a new contract for an in-form Cole or re-signing Moult, you would have to remove the sentiment from it. If we were to get him back as well as someone like Cole, I'd be all for it, but I'm not sure how far the pursestrings would stretch to that. You do have to feel for him. Last season it appears he scored on his first start and then the injury happened in the first half of the next game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
