Borjans Sweatpants Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Motherwell signed another striker, Zach Robinson. Wonder if this is because they plan on cashing in on Theo, or just bringing in some depth / competition. WestHamCanadianinOxford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 His manager, Stuart Kettlewell, was on BBC Radio Scotland earlier this week and said they had received substantial bids from teams in the Top 5 leagues across Europe. They would love to keep him of course. johnyb, Borjans Sweatpants, costarg and 14 others 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 For some reason Sunderland fans on Twitter are convinced that they’ve already acquired him. toontownman, Unnamed Trialist and Canuckia 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Thought I saw a few Motherwell supporters on my flight from London to Barcelona, wearing their scarves, younger women as well. I even overheard one talking to the boarding stewards about Motherwell. But then I was thinking the colours could be taken for Spain or even Catalonia, so maybe it was that, Spanish tourists wearing Motherwell, since they were all yellow and red, not red and white. I know the tones are not spot exact but still found it odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Looks like they play FC Twente today in a friendly.

Unnamed Trialist Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 We met a sibling of Theo's at our watch party, wearing a Bair shirt, thrilled to see her brother on the pitch. Very exciting moment for him and I am sure for the whole family. I also appreciate that a CMNT family member would come to a watch party and not sit at home, a lovely set of values. Learned a few other things but most importantly he has been happy at Motherwell, so I suppose his preseason starts there soon.

Motherwell played their first competitive game of the 2024-25 season in the League Cup yesterday. 3-0 home win against Edinburgh City. That means Bair has missed their entire preseason. Suspect he'll be moving on soon because Motherwell are not the sort of club who are likely to be able to resist a large transfer fee. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing their family personally, they’re an absolutely incredible group of people, the highest morals you can find all the way from grandparents to grandkids. sebdeserio, Corazon, Canuckia and 11 others 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastPros Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I know it's a very small sample but I can see why Marsch had not played him yet. He is relatively slow (compared to Tani) and might struggle to press and counter-attack effectively. He will be a great asset against physical CONCACAF teams, though. h coach, Soccerpro2, CanadaFan123 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he do anything in his appearance? Can’t recall but definitely saw he was a step slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually quite surprised with how slow he looked out there. I’m glad he got in but I suspect he hasn’t stood out in training. Also, 6 games and not a single minute for Piette.
