Marky Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Eamonn Brophy has apparently signed a PCA with St. Mirren beating off Aberdeen, Hibs, Hearts and St. Johnstone as well as some English Championship clubs. Not sure how we’ve managed that but happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Och Aye Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Think Motherwell may still be haggling over a development fee for Cadden. Bit vague as he went to US but came back to England on loan very quickly. Edited January 5, 2021 by Och Aye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a suspicion that the whole Columbus Crew signing was a way round Oxford paying the development fee, as the MLS are (or were?) not liable for it (is it a UEFA thing?) Columbus immediately loaning him to Oxford appeared to back that up. He has spent nearly a year out there though, so probably just sour grapes from ‘well fans, as his Scotland caps etc. Would’ve earned a £250k+ development fee. Decent player, don’t know that Motherwell ever pinned down his strongest position would do well at hibs im sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking at his CV he seems to have had relative; if short lived, success everywhere he’s been as a manager. Liked him as a player. More exciting than Tommy Wright....

I quite liked the sound of him, thought maybe his reputation had been tarnished by the number of basket case clubs he’s been at and he could perhaps rebuild it at Motherwell, but Alexander has had far more success albeit at smaller clubs.

Not sure how we’ve managed that but happy days. I think that's a good signing for St Mirren. Brophy is a decent Scottish Premiership standard player. St Mirren's style of play may also suit him better than the Kilmarnock's current style of play. Saw this on the BBC earlier. Out of contract players in the Scottish Premiership: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55423999 Alan McGregor (Rangers), Lewis Stevenson (Hibernian), Stuart Findlay (Kilmarnock), Declan Gallagher (Motherwell), Steven Davis (Rangers), Scott Brown (Celtic), Alan Campbell (Motherwell), Karamoko Dembele (Celtic), Chris Burke (Kilmarnock), Ross Stewart (Ross County), Jermaine Defoe (Rangers). Any you would take at your club (wages permitting) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 The Motherwell 2 will be snapped up in the next few weeks I’d suspect. Presume we’d be due a decent development fee for Campbell. Gallagher’s stock has probably never been higher, and he’s of an age this is a great opportunity to get a contract that will set him up for life. Feel a bit used with my Motherwell hat on, especially if he tries to force a move to avoid triggering a one year extension. Presume we’ve already offered him improved terms, given he appears to be in the Scotland XI for euros... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Och Aye Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) So looking like Gary Alexander at Fir Park. Got his work cut out. Campbell and Gallagher probably away, injured international keeper, Lang's loan finished, defence leaking goals and forwards not scoring. His management skills could very well be put to the test 🙁 Edited January 7, 2021 by Och Aye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Delighted with the appointment of Graeme Alexander. Really liked him as a player and his management CV looks pretty good, had success to a point everywhere he’s been. Didnt want a rookie, and wasn’t particularly inspired by many of the others mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr mojo risin Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 We've no money to do anything in January, even though in McInnes's words at the AGM "we got the guts of £4M for McKenna", yet St Mirren & Hearts do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfield Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I see Big Col Quaner has signed for St Mirren. A bit of a legend in these parts for his exploits in the play-off semi at Hillsborough a few years back. He can definitely be a real handful when he’s on his game.

Fairbairn Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Rangers apparently making a move for Scott Wright. Have to admit I don't know a lot about him although I thought he looked good in flashes yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thieving pricks, need to start developing your own home grown talent instead of letting everyone else do the hard work. 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take him, pay us the development fee, or call it quits for McCrorie and then he can take a place in the stand beside Jordan Jones. If rangers want to improve, signing an injury plagued, occasionally good winger is not the way to go I’m afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more to do with having quota of home grown players in the squad & weakening another team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it’ll weaken us, 54 appearances in 7 years for a 23 year old says all you need to know about him. If he doesn’t want to be here, fuck him off now or leave him in the stand. We’ll get paid either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were playing better football with him, Watkins & Hedges linking play up, is it a coincidence that with Wright & Watkins out injured we’ve gone back to playing shite one dimensional Cosgrove/Main no tempo football.

I would agree, he looked decent at times, but then he got injured again. He averages just a bit over 7 appearances a season, we can do without him.
