Why let people know how much money you have got for someone or in the bank? People can then hold out for more and make deals harder to make I'm favour for us as a club. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

What does Linfield have to do with Conor McMenamin and Glentoran? Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

What do you mean? Play load for someone who is always injured and like not scored at home? Is that considered good? Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

I'm a white shorts guy due to the 99/00 season going up to the SPL. Black shorts I'm not as keen on due to wearing them the following season and going straight back down Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

You hope so and not a patch. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Thing is Carson follows Robo about. Why would they fall out? If he is to go it is for money and we look for a starter. We have done well in GK so I'd not worry. I feel it's likely rubbish. We are looking to loan out peter for more time to see if got it. Loan in a number 2 Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

I see what you are saying, but of all the players in contract being talked about that could go (O'Hara and Strain as well), I think Baccus is more replaceable than the other two. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Well maybe the initial fee, but with add-ons it goes to what the club want? Shows we are the show case and stepping stone the player was promised and we make some money rather than no money like seasons in the past. Each year we then look to increase this initial amount with the increase of gradual quality of players. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

I take it we are deciding that big Peter should go out on loan this season for 1st team/make or break experience then? This can't be for No1 spot as Carson has been great. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

275k is very low in my eyes for someone with a year left and played in the world cup. It upsets me to think if it was say Motherwell or the other teams that finished top 6 this season they would command more than that reported amount. I would be upset to see him go as been good for us, but I'd be more upset of O'Hara or Strain were to go for that kind of money. It could also be that this is a fee that was agreed when he signed for us as some sort of release clause?! I would hope for some major add-on's in this whole situation. If we announce Baccus going officially I hope we quickly announce others after it to try get fans not to melt down. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Really? With this being how we are signing one player? We could be signing to develop and sell on with the rest? One option for one player doesn't it be a model to follow, does it? Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

As you say, we know what we have with him. With him resigning and with Taylor getting better and able to play left back (as Robo has said this and he is more comfortable on the ball and decent pace too) could see us being able to switch to a plan B and Go with Robo's preferred formation at times in a 433 apparently.

So Charles Dunne staying?! Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

So looking at the gossip and links so far we have the following away or potentially away and linked players to potentially replace them LCB Dunne CB Jacob Bedeau LB/LWB Small LB/LWB Ali Koiki LB/LWB Adam Montgomery CB Shaughnessy/ RB/LB Tait RB/CB Oludare Olufunwa CDM/CM Erharhon CDM/CM Faud Sule ST/LW Watt ST/LW Kwame Peprah ST Main ST Robert Street ST Stav Nahmani RW Henderson ST/RW Conor McMenamin Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

So I'm a big fan of the Misery Hunters podcast and from watching the season review they brought up something about the social backgrounds where the Paisley pattern linking to the eventual release of the most amazing away kit. If that's the case, could we be getting a black checked away kit? Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

So of all the players going and random chat about players we have been liked to it looks like this I think Away - Links LCB = Dunne - Bedeau LB/LWB = Small - Koiki / Montgomery RB/CB = Shaughnessy - Oludare Olufunwa CDM/CM = Erharhon - Sule ST = Main - Bowie / Street ST/LW = Watt - Conor McMenamin Anything I've missed? Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

With most of the schools ending this coming week in Scotland I hope we hear something now. I know a lot of fans that scream for release for when summer holidays start. Other issue could be when is the end date exactly with Joma and they can't maybe do a thing until then? Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

That's good. Thank f**k he is dyslexic and can't read this or we would be camped outside the shop in a tent. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Thank god. My 9yo is getting football obsessed. He asks every bloody day if there is any news on the new strips and Training gear. At this rate I feel I might see if the club is willing to take him off my hands for nothing. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Yeah but when we signed Dunne I thought this was stupid with his injury history,.but he did fairly well to last. Our backroom staff must be able to work wonders on someone like him (not Brophy though) . Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Remember there was a point that we beat Aberdeen to Brophy's signature. Koiki from what I know is like 6'0 and very quick. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Bloody hell. The people calling for Griffiths are the same people calling for a 15 goals a season striker. They are all delusional. Griffiths is 100% done at this level and has been for years. In fact he is even older. Finances dictate what areas we look at. 15 goals a season is where the likes of Hibs, Aberdeen and Hearts can play at a push. I cannot stress how lucky Motherwell has been with Van Veen. He didn't do this level of goals down south and they took a punt and won a watch. This is where we are at. I'm sure we are hoping to do this for this season. We hoped this was going to be Brophy and it hasn't been. Main could have got there if his missed chances had gone in... He did more as he helped contribute to like 20 goals this season. I trust us this season to get maybe more players in with a bigger squad for depth as we struggled at times for numbers and I'm sure Robo and Foyle will get them in on little, look to put more team options in the contracts (like Taylor and CBM) so if it works out we are in the driving seat. I like the changes we have done as we offered a long contract to O'Hara and if he goes we will get paid. Gone are the days that talent leaves for f**k all and I'm happy the business model has changed as it needs to for the team to change and take the step up to hopefully push higher season after season. My rambling is done, but I'm so sick of the Griffiths chat and the 15 goals a season chat. Shows how unrealistic, lack of financial and business savvy fans really have.

Going to guess, like most these things it will be template first year and bespoke after. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk
