    We got him in his peak years and done fantastic job, unfortunately started to decline when Ronny came in and lost what pace and stamina he had left. Cheers for all the memories and good luck :50:

    Value for money, pound for pound, what a signing.

    Hope he does well at Hibs and know for a fact he will as long as he stays fit.

    I actually could imagine him playing up here for quite a while yet, seems a player who enjoys playing and always wants to play and even though he's not mobile enough to play for us he was always fit and lasted 90 minutes, he's probably fitter and more mobile than Scott McDonald who's been doing a decent job of a Commons style player for Motherwell. Could still have 3 more seasons after this.

    Just a loan?

    You only see him on promo events.. Wasted !

    Did he ever get near a Brendan team/bench ?

    Said I'd be happy for us to pay his wages if he went to Hibs and this looks like what's happening. Best of luck to him, I'll cherish the memories he gave us.

    Would it be too crazy to put him on the bench tomorrow and if we are winning comfortably, bring him on for 10 minutes for a send off?

    Gave us some great memories and represented the club well off the field too.

    I never really grew to love him as much as others though, despite acknowledging the job he done for us. Perhaps just not my type of player, even though he was undoubtedly effective.

    As I said in my other post though wish him the best of luck. Deserves to end his career enjoying his football.

    I'm the same. I appreciate what he's done but I've never fully taken to him.

    Away from football though, him and his wife seem like great people.

    First player I ever got on the back of a jersey. Great player in his prime, will never forget 2013/14, or his penalty against Spartak Moscow. If this is the very end, then all the best to him!

    Emergency loan will only be for 4 weeks by the sounds of it, then probably get him for rest of the season in January.
