capt_oats Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Interesting wee bit from McGarry in his piece on Turnbull in the Evening Times here. I'm pretty sure Robinson said similar this time last year when the deal for McCartan fell through and nothing came of it but the suggestion is we're actively looking at free agents. Quote Motherwell take on Livingston at Fir Park today, but Robinson still has an eye on the bigger picture, revealing he is actively looking at free agents now the transfer window has closed. He is adamant though that the pathway for his young players won’t be blocked by bringing in signings for the sake of it. “I want to take a real stance and say that we have got these players coming through, they will get their opportunities here," he said. “Yes, there will be ups and downs, and moments when they dip in form, but I’ll continue to do what we believe in.” #announceAnichebe #welcomeVictor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rambunctious Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 id also heard it from a mate by txt but he uses Twitter and has a habit of picking up random shite online and trying to pass it off as reliable info he was privy to. sure you know the sortYes, we know the sort very well indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Not to steal Marv's bit, but there was nothing in the Hartley thing. Presuming someone got their wires crossed re: Bigi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermarv Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Tbh someone has probably been told aw aye Hibs are signing some Motherwell player, some reporter has chucked it online. Turns out it’s a different Motherwell player, but from what I got told there was nothing in the Hartley move. It’s all the same with these guys on twitter who have inside knowledge telling us Sammon was going elsewhere when I could probably believe he wasn’t. And the player that fell through was a midfielder from Celtic but not a clue who. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Just browsing Steelmen there and picked up on new information that according to the official site we've low key extended Tanner's deal to 2020. I seem to recall at the AGM Burrows/Robinson were asked about Tanner and the gist was that we'd do the right thing by him and we wouldn't cut him loose if he wasn't able to pass a medical but the deal would be reflective of his situation (or words to that effect). It looks like that's been sorted out. Which is nice. Edited February 2, 2019 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 16/05/2016 at 13:11, Gianfranco said: I actually watched a Doncaster game vs Burton I think and thought we might be interested. He does have another year to run at Donny though so I don't imagine we'd pay a fee for him.

Whether we could get him or not is another story though. Halcyon days lads....halcyon days. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Monday morning thought; Having Alan Campbell looking more like himself and playing well has been as big a factor in us doing well as anything else. There seems to be a bit of a rule since he's been in the team that when he plays well, the team plays well and the past 3 games have been evidence of that... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 The break in January will have done him the world of good. When you think he's away with the 21s during the International breaks, and he was part of the youth squad that played in the Toulon Tournament in June, he's played pretty much non-stop from September 2017 until Christmas 2018. You could see, clearly, he was done in. Hastie & Turnbull are, quite rightly, getting a lot of the plaudits in recent weeks but it's generally very simple like you say. If Allan Campbell plays well, the full team plays well. Great to see him getting back to top form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoss Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 The first half hour on Saturday was as good as I've seen a Motherwell team in years. Our energy levels and pace in particular were excellent. Was good to see everyone with the exception of Gillespie (too far a jaunt or maybe he hates him as much as the old boy behind me in the East Stand on Saturday) celebrate Main's goal with him. After he'd blocked Ariyibi's goal bound effort with his arse, I got the feeling it just was never going to happen for him - pleased that was shown to be far wide of the mark shortly after. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 The lads look back on another good victory for Motherwell, discuss David Turnbull’s new deal at Fir Park, preview St Mirren, praise Stephen Robinson’s part in the much improved form, reflect on the business done during the transfer window and much more. https://www.mfc1886.com/mfc-podcast-2018-19-episode-27/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I notice the BBC gossip page has us "opening talks" with Hastie about a new deal (per Daily Express). Which should really be to the surprise of no one I guess. I'd like to think it's something we've talked to him about when he came back from Alloa and this is a more formal thing. I get that there will probably have been a bit of hesitancy about offering him a deal until he'd had a few first team games especially given the likes of Thomas, MacLean, Mackin, McMillan, Ferguson, Watt et al have all effectively been released in recent seasons but...10 year deal for Hastie ASAP please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Just read this interview with Trevor Carson: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47098220 File DVT under "absolutely fucking terrifying".

Just read that myself. What is the likelihood of him returning to full action? If they are worried about knocks and falls is that not a huge part of a goalies game? Feel really badly for him. Football and Motherwell are clearly very important to him but he is right to put his family first. Wish him all the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 It'll be interesting to see what happens if/when Carson gets back to full fitness - he'll definitely have his work cut out to get back in the team ahead of Gillespie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my, admittedly basic, understanding the worries about head knocks and falls are only as he's on blood thinning tablets at this point. They basically stop your blood from clotting so if you cut yourself it doesn't stop. Theoretically once he's off those it wouldn't be an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
