Melkersen will be available for Motherwell on the 3rd. I guess we probably won’t see him get minutes until Forfar though.

He is 38 in 2 months. What could possibly go wrong?
Like Le Fondre he's been a great striker but the fat woman is warming up her voice and is almost certainly about to sing.Last edited by PHeffernan; 03-12-2023 at 06:02 PM.

Re the last part
"It ain't over until the fat lady sings" cautions against assuming that the current state of an event is irreversible and clearly determines how or when the event will end.Last edited by PHeffernan; 03-12-2023 at 06:14 PM.

Mika Biereth?
5 goals and 2 assists in 5 starts for Motherwell.
On loan from Arsenal, could we do a similar deal that we got for Harry Clarke?
Suppose a player like him would probably depend on what we decide with Melkersen

Ripped Stevenson and Fish new erses.
Some idiot injured him a few weeks later. He has just recently returned to fitness and taken up where he left off.Last edited by PHeffernan; 03-12-2023 at 06:49 PM.

Had a disallowed goal for offside but it was a good finish.
Has played 12 league games on loan scoring 4 goals and his team finished the season 7th of 16.
Has been playing as No.9 and that is his position. No other position will do.
Will return now and kick his heals until the Forfar game in late January unless the manager decides to play him in the pre break game on January 2nd. He will be 21 on auld years day.Last edited by PHeffernan; 03-12-2023 at 07:35 PM.

Jacob Farrell was MOM for the Mariners for the second week in a row this week.
The feeling in Oz is that he will be the next Mariners player to be signed by an overseas club.
He’s also an Under 23 internationalist.

Mika Bireth from Motherwell and Owen beck from Dundee are 2 we should be trying to get in January.
Could be doing with Liverpool and Arsenal cancelling their loans and giving them to us, similar to what happened with Harry Clarke.

Melkersen coming back will hopefully be like a new signing and rotating with Vente will allow him to get regular minutes until the end of the season, said it before in another thread but I really really hope he comes back refreshed and ready to grab the opportunity with both hands. Clearly a player in there, just needed coaxed out (people forget he had barely turned 19 when he first rocked up).
Cadden and McKirdy will be like new signings as well if we can get them fit and ready in January (although happy to concede we may not see the most of McKirdy this season?) but we're fairly light in the LM/RM slots on this system so these guys coming back will make the depth look a hell of a lot healthier.
In terms of new contracts I think I'd be waiting until closer to the seasons end before I dish any out but my initial thoughts are
ALF - wait and see how his body is as he'll have been out for around 3/4 months by the time we see him back, could be a sign for the future.
Doidge - I'd like to see us shake hands and move on from.
Lewy - I reckon Lewy will call it a day, I think he was close last season and the summer would maybe be the right time.
Hanlon - I'd be happy to extend Hanlon's contract on the basis that he knows he's going to be back up CB and isn't taking up a huge chunk of our budget (similar situation to Daz?)
Jeggo - I like Jeggo, I think he goes under appreciated at times and does what he does better than anyone else in the squad, but at 32 by the time the season ends we may look for fresher legs.
Marshall - Call me crazy but if he wants to stay and be number 2 for one more season I honestly don't mind it, especially if it allows Murray Johnson to perhaps go on loan again. Depends on how much he wants really.
I think the summer may be a big window for rebuilding parts of the squad/moving people on. Especially once NM has identified who he wants to keep and who should probably move on.

The current squad is capable of coming third. I'm not saying they will (although I have a fairly sizeable bet on it with the bookies). The form guide will tell you that ourselves and Hearts are the two teams really capable and they struggle to score goals, but defend better.
We have 3 goalies
We have three decent centre halves and one who is pretty much untried but has decent pedigree
We are a bit short on full backs, but Cadden is on the way back
We have decent choices in centre midfield in Levitt, Newell and jeggo
We have good choices in wide midfield slots in Squirrel, Youan, Tavares and Campbell
We have Vente and Doidge currently vying for the centre forward slot, with ALF, Melks and McKirdy to come back
We have Delferriere and whittaker to plug gaps
I wouldn't be surprised if Monty doesn't hold off most of his spending until the summer unless we get the chance to sign a serious upgrade somewhere.

Maybe better as a fitness and conditioning coach if he got a qualification in that.. more than a first team football coach ??

Still think a bit of quality drive in the middle of the park that can also tackle is essential

We play two central midfielders. We’d be looking at a very decent outlay to get better than we have in there.
