Aye had a good look around yesterday. Couldnt find anything remotely palatable under £600 without staying for a full week! Always wanted to go there but never managed previously with Scotland or Motherwell. If we were guaranteed to go thru, saving the money for the next round would seem like a smart plan. Unfortunately with Motherwell nothing is ever guaranteed! 😆😆😆

I thought message boards were about opinions.....

Nobody said he was a £10m player at Motherwell. But he is a £4.5m player.

Without all the sponsors on it the shirt wouldnt look too bad. I quite like the white Macron down the sleeves. A hark back to the old Scotland Umbro kits. However, the shorts/socks combo doesnt work for me. I also prefer claret shorts. But if we are going for white, the socks needed to be claret. All that said, Im also not the demographic its aimed at so it will probably go down a storm with the weans!

Are you saying Just isnt worth £4.5m on todays market? I dont want to diminish Lennon Millers impact or legacy at Motherwell FC, but one of the reasons we didnt miss him at all last season was Elijah Just. I understand your point about sell on, but at 26 I dont think its outwith the realms of possibility that Just has at least 1 more big move in him if he develops further. For example (and Id rather this didnt happen) if Celtic bought him for £4.5m on a 4 year deal and sold him on in 2 years to the EPL after some Champions League level performances, they would easily double their money.

Currently online looking to see if there are any affordable ways of getting to the Faroes. Anyone had any luck?

Just is currently a better player than Lennon Miller. Udinese payed £4.5m for potential. Just is the finished article and has showed it on the world stage. Im not suggesting we get £10m for him. But we should at least be getting Miller level cash.

I would think thats about right. We wont make as much money as other clubs from players because of the wages we pay, but we no longer need to roll over and take the first offer that comes in. The remainder of our sellable assets are under contract, so we can extract a little bit more than we would have in the past because we are now on a stable financial footing.

Agreed. Last minute loans to fill an identified gap that we werent able to fill with a permanent player is fine, particularly if that player has quality beyond what you can normally afford. But this early in the window we should be tying up longer term targets.

I would have been fine getting Rice back as our player (albeit financially unlikely) but no interest in bringing him back on loan to develop him for Rangers to benefit from. Its not our model. Lets find the next Just, Fadinger, Watt, Maswanhise etc...

Anyone out by Wishaw Golf Club know if the helicopter has arrived yet? 😜😜😜

I think Collins clearly had some good ideas due to his experiences with Monaco. I think he lost the dressing room though when he took his shirt off and challenged the squad to work harder so they could look like him! (Paraphrasing). I think putting new ideas across can be done. But you need good management skills to take people with you and communicate your message clearly in a way they will take to. I guess neither Collins or Cathro had that.

I would presume that the reason he has agreed to rip up the last year of his contract is because he has been offered a deal elsewhere on the same or better. Why else would you? Clearly they want him off the books to free up a wage, the fact that they dont have to pay up his contract is a bonus for them. I love the fact its being painted as a charitable exercise from Celtic though as a thanks for all his years of loyal service!

100% 👍👍👍

I dont condone violence, or threats of violence. The opposite in fact. However, its quite telling that the SFA have come out and blamed fans and the media for their "employees" feeling under threat. You cant present in such an incompetent manner and not expect criticism. The fact that a few nutters decide to behave, well, like nutters, doesnt mean we should all shut up.
