Going Dundee
Online!
Imagine we’re done unless Watt leaves and then we’ll look to add another striker. Likewise if Middleton left we’d sign another player to cover for Ferry.
Time will tell but looks like a very decent window from United.

Need a right wing back. A striker with some pace and a back-up left back.
Reckon these will require Watt, Grimshaw and either Middleton or Kai (who has been linked with Crawley) to go.

We need a Striker. Particularly if Watt and MacLeod depart.
Harding will be going on loan.
Both Gallagher and Holt missed too many games last season for my liking.
Seve is already out injured.
I think we need another CH first then a striker.
In the 4 league cup games and last week we haven't really looked solid at the back. Plenty going forward but vulnerable through the middle and at the back.

Time will definitely tell. We've still not seen Meshack, Odada or Adegboyega actually play a full game of football, so the jury is still out on this window until we see the fruits of Goodwin's labours. However, early signs are very very good.
I think we are at the stage now where we could field a full 11 (fully fit) with only one player that was actually at the club last season.
Richards
Sevelj
Adeboyega
Graham
Strain
Odada
Babunski
Ferry
Meshack
Van Der Sande
Trapanovski
Quite the summer turnaround!

Makes more sense. The wee team must get mighty pissed off that the rest of the world assume that it is us that is buying a player. Dundee who?

We know Holt and Gallagher are not really at top half of top league level (Holt through ability and Gallagher through age/injuries) so the aim has to be to replace them with boys who are, but one step at a time. Assuming they are good enough for survival then we can look to bring in a defensive leader next summer. Maybe the Koumetio boy will be up to speed by then...

I think we'll bring in one more. We need more options upfront for me.
If we succeed in moving Watt, Grimshaw and Middleton out then maybe more (or at least a wee war chest for the winter window). Fotheringham would be an interesting one. I think the boy has something and that will come out playing with the better players we now have in a better league. That said, if someone is offering cash and we have plans for the cash then it has to be considered.

Taking into consideration Watt's wage + bonus's etc - I feel we could bring in at least 2 players on this money.

Maybe, but we are no doubt still in a big hole on the back of relegation, so they might see anything they can save on him as a win.

Watt on a season long loan to Motherwell, I’d imagine they’ll be paying a fair whack of his wages.
Great news, now time to get a striker in with pace.

I wouldn't be surprised if the savings on watts wages have already been spent.
Glad he's gone from the point he's not going to play and an unhappy player is a distraction to the rest.
He played his part last year but not sure he gave value for money. All the best Tony

The boy is a fucking charlatan, should never have even thought about signing him, I am delighted he is gone.
Offline
I made it very clear to him immediately after Spartans last season where he should get to. 12 months later and Motherwell is not quite there but a massive step in the right direction for the club.

What are they going to do for eggs at the Cedars?
I guess M'well will be paying no more than 20% of his wages.

Hearing Rory MacLeod signing for Southampton.
15Ok fee - 3 year deal
Rumours that Kai Fotheringham to Crawley is happening too.

Is this from a good source?
Looking at his stats he would seem to fit the bill as hes scored goals at all age groups.

Never saw anything in MacLeod so not overly fussed.
Is Kai to Crawley a permanent deal?
I thought he might continue to make progress but it looks like some of the younger guys are better prospects than him and have put themselves ahead of him in the pecking order.

Macleod is so young he could turn into an amazing player or not. Worries me we are getting rid for such a low fee, Especially to Southampton - a club with a proven and impressive record of identifying & developing young players and selling for big profits. Must be something in the rumours of his attitude.
With the improvements Kai made last season I am really surprised we wouldn’t want to give him a year or two in the top flight to see if he can continue that trajectory. He scored a lot of goals last year for a guy who was in his first season of first team football. If he is going for 500k or more, then fair enough. But if it’s 100k to give to Tony watt for the last 6 months of his contract you can F right off…
Also - Watt did fine for us. Especially last season. Just was never worth the money we spunked on him. Wish him well as it looks like he won’t play for us again.

Watt - played his part last season and goes with the best wishes of many of the support. I think the championship was his level and can't see him doing much with Motherwell.
Fotheringham I hope we keep, he has instinctive positional sense which sees him in the right place at the right time more often than not.
If McLeod goes then I wish him well, I've said on another thread but there's a player in there no doubt about it.
