Bomber 57 Posted June 14, 2023 Well if the Pink Un article is to be believed then that is us out of any competition for him unless we can offer what he is after and that is first team football - off course it could all be hyped up to conjure interest but if true Premier League and European clubs does not really give us a start in the race Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tricky974 63 Posted June 14, 2023 The only way I see that that would be different is that if he plays well then he keeps his place, the article does say that he realises that he may not start but wants to keep his place if he earns it which I don't have a problem with. With that being said I'm sure other teams have rolled out the red carpet for the highly rated free transfer.

king canary 8,754 Posted June 14, 2023 I get the feeling he's going to be the latest youngster to fancy his chances abroad where he's more likely to go straight into the first team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems likely - pretty sure I read something a few weeks back saying that he’d said he fancies a stint abroad. Norwich is very different to Motherwell, but doesn’t quite fit that!  It does also seem likely that we got Tracey in instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His Dad (Alan) used to play in France, so he might be encouraging his son to broaden his horizon by playing abroad. It's definitely Graz. 😉 (Sorry, that's not getting past the forum Germanophile even if Graz is in Austria). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've spotted my typo and geography weak points! 😉 Heh, one of my old bosses (who's actually just PMed me today on Facebook Messenger, ironically), lived there for a bit. He was a huge Austrophile and when we were all speaking German amongst ourselves in the office he'd always quip he was Styrian (Styria is an Austrian state, Graz is the capital). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazzaJet 267 Posted June 14, 2023 With Mumba and Stacey already here, I can’t see us signing Johnston if he wants regular first team football. At his age, if we did sign him I reckon we’d only send him out on loan next season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
