Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

Does he really play that high up the pitch? Shows how little I actually know about him, I always assumed he was more midfield than a forward/winger!

I asked a Thistle supporting pal of mine about him the other day when we were mentioned as a possible destination in the County thread and he said he can play right, left or a #10 off a front man.

I've not really checked whether that's changed at County tbf.

Here's he is playing for United against Dundee.

Cardiac arrests aplenty in the East Stand when we've got Sean Goss & Blair Spittal in the same team and we're 4-0 to Celtic after half an hour.

Whit a carry on.  No thank you.

Presumably Goss is somewhere whimpering but too scared to complain: 'Faint-hearted supposed set piece specialist? But that's my job...'.

Was literally the first thing that popped into my head. Welcome to the Featherdome.

Given in the past few years when we've dipped into "unknown" markets in the forward areas we've ended up with Justin Amaluzor, Christy Manzinga, Joe Efford, Deimantus Petravicius and Christian Ilic, I think we could do a lot worse than signing a guy who's proved to be decent in the Scottish Premiership already.

He's perfect for this division as he's class and huge. 

I'll honestly be raging if he signs elsewhere as we had the perfect chance to get him 2 years ago.

Versatile and Premiership proven, hard to turn our collective nose up at, IMO.

That sentence could have easily been applied in January 2021 when a cigar smoking hobit was retained.

How have Jordan Roberts and Justin Amaluzor been for you guys? Think you are not resigning them? I ask as they are wingers and known to be pacey... Two things I could see Stephen Robinson lusting over. emoji1787.png

Roberts is sometimes decent. Amaluzor is hopeless.

Spittal is a known quantity at this level but we already have Sean Goss as our token shitebag who puts in the odd good delivery. Don't get me wrong, I think Spittal would be okay for us and I wouldn't be overly disappointed if he signed but I'm also not convinced he's much better than anyone we have at the moment.

I'd imagine Roberts will be away back down the road. Him being here for the 2nd half of last season seemed as much down to the fact he'd already played for 2 teams and couldn't sign for anyone else after he agreed his exit from Hearts. Did a turn for us now and again.

Amaluzor is precisely the type of player Robinson would have signed in a summer window then binned out the team after a couple of months before releasing him when he was here.

Lawless was a decent player tbf, just an arsenal arsehole and finished by the time he came back. If we signed him at the same age Spittall is now I think he'd have done fine.

Interesting. Doesn't turn me completely against him by any means but makes his stats perhaps a little less shiny.

Hard to argue you wouldn't take a chance on him being better than Amaluzor/Roberts/Efford though.

It's worth bearing in mind it's TransferMarkt as the source so it's almost certainly unreliable but it suggests he's been predominately used off the right or left at County this season.
