Surely the money McGregor would expect to earn at us would tempt McLaughlin to stay?

 

Not against McGregor coming but would prefer the money was spent keeping McLaughlin. 

 

Have heard we are still in talks with McLaughlin.

I'm not disagreeing with your thought Scott but in terms of McLean is he the sort of player we need if the intention is to keep Steven Naismith on board. Do our present crop of back up strikers need input from two experienced forwards, when one could suggest that in addition to Naismith Kyle Lafferty is a much more experienced player than the younger back up strikers and able to pass on his experience. If I had a choice I'd prefer we were going for a striking option that is a bit younger and could immediately help out Kyle Lafferty up front. There are obviously players out there if you have scouts who know where to look and decent contacts down South, for example. I'm guessing Motherwell finding Curtis Main, for example, wasn't just a pure fluke. Just a thought, but for me the priority at this time has to be looknig for a striker who can score goals rather than looknig for a striker who can pass things on to the younger players. If you are only looking for the latter then you should be looking for a person to employ in a coaching role, imo.

 

 

 

I dont disagree greed with you either PJ! 

 

The first line of my post was I think he’d have been a great option when we came down to Championship. I agree Naismith and Lafferty cover the options and mone6 might be best spent elsewhere although I do think McLean would be cheap and Henderson and any future young forwards brought in could learn from him, perhaps more than Lafferty despite Lafferty’s strike rate.

Definitely my preferred choice. McGregor's reaction times are only getting slower. Would be delighted if we kept McLaughlin

Would be a terrific signing but a 2 year deal at Hull would kill off any possibility of us signing him  I would have thought. 

 

It all depends on the players desire to be back home.

 

Players like Berra Naismith and McGregor have made their money.

 

And that’s why they’re with us (or linked with us in McGregors case)

Yeah as you say and a 4 year deal with a view to doing coaching badges maybe sway it . 

Would be an incredible coup if it happened , but personally I don't think it will tbh

How much did Main cost Motherwell ?. I've not got a clue but if you were to respond saying £0, for example, it makes you wonder what sort of system/contacts Motherwell have in place down South that we appear to be lacking.

i assume some sort of option deal to extend it beyond the first season

 

or perhaps the promise of a coaching contract?

From the article:
"St Johnstone were keen for MacLean to extend his contract but proved unable to compete with the terms put forward by Hearts,

which include the opportunity to pursue his coaching aspirations in the future."

If we kept Lafferty and Naismith, I suspect that might be the case.

He is solid, reliable but not top class. We are maybe in a position where we are happy with the quality of front man we have at present but less satisfies with the quantity.

 

I think it is similar at centre back, we have very good options but just need further cover/competition.

 

It's not like left back or goalie where we are going to need first choice players signed or the situation in the middle of the park where the quality needs to improve

It's just dull, if only we weren't paying Martin then we could buy blah blah blah. What about kenny Anderson who sanctioned that, what about Osh what a mistake. Heads must roll etc etc. Normally just comes back to an unnecessary dig at levein. 

[OTT]

I hope folk have calmed down a bit on the Mclean front, you seriously cannot expect another forward of Laffertys quality when we tend to play 1 up front? Laffs definitely on big wages so no chance we could afford to be 2 deep on those wages when the midfield is so poor! That said, I would hope we sign a 3rd younger forward to compete with the other 2.

Hard to judge how he'd do here but I actually like the look of him, a Troy Deeney type or De Vries type. 

 

 He certainly seems like the 'other option' I'd imagine Craig Levein to be looking at. If we keep Naismith, sign Maclean, with Lafferty and young Keena, a player like him could give us a seriously strong amount of options upfront. 

 

Now it comes down to the supply these guys would get from the flanks and midfield.
