Motherwell FC News
The club have announced they will play friendly matches against
Partick Thistle and Albion Rovers before heading for their pre-season tour of
France on July 11-18, where they will play a further three games. BD said:
"We're working on the details and will name the opposition when they are
all agreed."
Derek Townsley is expected to complete his move to Easter Road
over the weekend. Speaking yesterday, Hibs' manager Alex McLeish said:
"We are aware the guy is out of contract but it would be premature to say
anything is going to happen."
BD says he'll be bringing in at least five more players over the
summer, and admitted they would all be at the lower end of the transfer market:
"I reckon we will need another five of six players. We have a number of
irons in the fire and we are waiting to hear from a number of people. It
will be Bosman players we will be looking at and I will be looking abroad as
well. The biggest problem is that there are so many players out there.
It's different when you are a big club and you have got millions of pounds to
spend on top quality players. We have got to be more careful and make sure
we do our homework properly."
When asked about Aberdeen's David Rowson, BD replied:
"He is a player we know is available but we have not done anything about
starting negotiations."
BD was then asked about Derek Townsley's seemingly imminent move
to Hibs, to which he would only say:
"We made him an offer and he never got back to us so we have got to take
it that he is going somewhere else."
