Who were the other two players we were interested in from down south, one of them was Cameron Bell but I forgot the other.Is this the boy their chairman was going tonto over?

That'll explain us beating Man City to the signing (according to twitter).Yeah that’s him. Pretty sure there was someone on here the other day that goes to our games with his old man and uncle.

I really don't think he is that clever.I think Robertson’s words get interpreted wrongly, which may have been his intention.

Yes it is.Waiting for someone to say:
We'll have a good team in 5 years
The academy recruitment has been very aggressive this year.This lads meant to be an immense talent. Loving the way pur academy is operating these days.
Our academy has transformed incredibly since Wilson came in, him and Mulholland work very well together.This lads meant to be an immense talent. Loving the way pur academy is operating these days.
We also got around £15m from tickets for all the home games we had.UCL $17.7 guaranteed for qualifying.
We got $17.1m for getting to the final plus tv money so probably about $20m.
Even losing in the semi final would have meant less than their guaranteed money.
We must win the league this season.
Great news. Our very own @elfideldo mentioned the other day that he was a very good player and we'd do well to stave off fierce completion from down South.Is this the boy their chairman was going tonto over?
It'll get even better, if we can use the youth team products well this season.Our academy has transformed incredibly since Wilson came in, him and Mulholland work very well together.
It’s by far the best it’s ever been Imo.
Is your mate spewing?Great news. Our very own @elfideldo mentioned the other day that he was a very good player and we'd do well to stave off fierce completion from down South.
Dhims were in for him as well but Bailey, and his family, are all Bears so they were never in the running.
Welcome aboard young man. Go make yourself a hero.
Chris Jack’s a total panic merchant so he is
In contrast to…Really impressed by the way were handling our recruitment at under-18 level.
Seems very planned and targeted.

Well said mate. This forum is becoming more like a business meeting, funnily enough from people who have never worked in the game.When did football become about who can sell players for the most money?
I understand the concept of buying players with potential and cashing in when the time is right, but Fck me some of our fans and theirs seem to have fallen into a “ we have more money than you, we sold a player for more than you” mindset .
It’s football, it’s meant to be enjoyable. It’s a sport.

I know you’re a relatively older chap, having watched us through the early 80s and such, are you just used to the hysteria these days?Well said mate. This forum is becoming more like a business meeting, funnily enough from people who have never worked in the game.
I've got a new strategy for selling players. Bring in a negotiator complete with ak47 and tell them to get their arse out the door. Don't f**k with us by running down your contract as we need the cash.
Ha ha, he's probably the most sensible Motherwell fan out there. He understands that we will do it to them and, in return, the EPL will do it to us. All he's fussed about is getting the appropriate compensation. They've actually done pretty well out of their Youth setup over the last 5 years or so. I hear they are trying to get the young lad McKinstry, who they lost to Leeds, back on loan for the season - though it looks more likely he will go to a League 2 club.Is your mate spewing?

Nah I assumed Lovelace would be going into the B team. I'm sure someone mentioned there was another Scotland international we were in talks with from down south besides Cameron Bell, maybe I'm wrong.Zak Lovelace? The young guy from Milwall?
Excellent work being done at youth level, a lot of posters getting hung up over a player trading model and people getting tunnel vision on this just happening at first team level. We've made a number of impressive youth signings with more to happen.
I reckon next season we will see a lot of Lowry, King will feature regularly and depending upon how he gets on at Killie - could see Mayo feature regularly the season after, with a number of talented youngsters already there evidenced by the final league game against Hears and the new signings being brought in to the B team.
Of course we need a fair wind and a bit of luck in regards to player progression, staying injury free etc. But I don't think it would be unrealistic to think that in 3 seasons time we could have perhaps 6+ academy products contributing regularly to our first team squad.
My mates wee brother was in their academy for years, left to join Dumbarton for game time a year or two ago. He liked his time there but said it was essentially closed for about a year due to the Covid patter.Ha ha, he's probably the most sensible Motherwell fan out there.

He is apparently a cracker, captain of Scotland u-17s at 15, scored from the halfway line vs England, going to be one to watch.
Yeah, I think they shut down completely at that level. Can't have been easy for the kids. All the more credit to those, like Bailey Rice, who came back from that and still shone. Very highly regarded from what I can gather.My mates wee brother was in their academy for years, left to join Dumbarton for game time a year or two ago.

We were really short in numbers at U18's and not many u16's were retained.That’s
Lancelot pollard (Aberdeen)
Cameron Cooper (Patrick Thistle)
Kieron Willox (Inverness)
Paul Nsio (Lambeth Tigers)
Souleyman Mandey (Pulse Academy)
Mason Munn (Glentoran)
Bailey Rice (Motherwell)
All signed for u18s
and supposedly Cameron Bell from Everton is close.
Have we ever brought this many players into the u18s before? Will be very interesting how they get on.
This is great to see. The next MASSIVE step though is how we start getting the academy boys integrated into more 1st team game time.That’s

I don’t think jimmy johnstone posts on hereGuys who get raging in transfer threads are probably wife beaters
Glad to hear you're only fucking adults. Wrong forum if you're not.I am fucking adults. You are on the wrong forum if you think we need reminded of that.
Lennon Miller was the goal scorer from half way v England he has signed a full time contract at MFC.
I don't think he just gives contracts to his pals.Ross Wilson is close with Scott Arfield from his Falkirk days and knows Steven Davis well from Southampton. They were always getting new deals

Gio is hardly going to pick fights with the man who appointed him 6 months ago is he?Even if Gio said no they weren't ?
C'mon. We're now at the barrel scraping of blaming Ross Wilson.
So would you be if 7 of the ships you served on were sunk.Uncle Albert has to be one of the most miserable people in Scotland, jeesh.
