Despite recent speculation linking us with a whole host of players, Pat
Nevin today stated there would be no new signings for at least two
weeks. In the past few days alone we've been linked with the likes
of Hearts defender Grant Murray, Dundee's Steven Tweed,
Aberdeen midfielder David Rowson, Reading forward Jim McIntyre and Man
City defender Andy Morrison. However, Pat Nevin said today that
none of these players were likely to be joining the club:
"Billy is away on holiday in Florida, so we don't
expect any new faces at the club over the next two weeks.
There have been millions of names thrown up in the papers since the
end of the season, but we prefer to work away quietly at bringing in
players, so the names we are linked with probably are not targets.
"The two players we have brought in is just the
start and Billy is hopeful of securing another three or four new faces
before the start of next season."
One of this morning's tabloids reports that a move for Man City defender
Andy Morrison is unlikely, after it emerged the 31-year-old was on more
than £4,000 a week. Motherwell held talks with Morrison last night, but a
"Fir Park insider" is quoted as saying: "The club needs an experienced defender, but we can't afford that
kind of money."
