They were "rescued" as the media loves to say when a new consortium took them over in May.

Two bids rejected for Watt, according to Scott Burns. Both 7 figures. Will take at least £1.75m for us to even discuss.

Take it Wed have sorted their financial problems.

Needs to look his best for the introduction video!

Wonder if he'll need a medical for that. Hmm🤔

Apparently a bid of £1.7m was made to Utd for Will Ferry!! Fadinger is worth way more to us than £500k. Laughable fee. Academy players go for more. I trust our club to deal with any offers accordingly and that scottish football clubs started to get the fees that are the normal across europe.

Jog on

Id be shocked if we accepted anything lile £500k for him. A key part of last seasons midfield, we need him now slattery is gone & vultures looking at watt & just. Signed a new contract a few weeks ago as well. Couple of mill i reckon he's worth.

Yes, and very good luck to him. SW have insanely large crowds for a team which hasn't won the first tier in England since 1929/30.

For that fee they can do one...

There's a tweet floating about with a bid from Hanover (€500k) for Fadinger

Samsunspor have reportedly made an official approach for Watt.

Facial injury apparently, staying behind for further assessment.

Did TM get injured?

Maswanhise not travelling to Denmark, I see... EDIT: Ah, never mind, he got skelped in the face and is having his injury assessed.

Slattery 3 yr deal at Sheffield Wednesday Pretty decent move for him

Short term, no doubt, but I imagine Lennon Miller will be earning more over his career.

But probably no money in the bank, looks like he did exactly what Hastie done .

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.

Aye, if he stayed with us he'd likely have 50+ first team appearances and ready for a move to a team that want hom as a starter.

Agree with above. Randomly my season ticket seat was next to him. Got to know him well over the years. He would have loved the fitbaw this season. RIP my friend

Welsh was an established pro who wanted minutes to get away from Celtic, and we benefited from that. Rice is different. He chose Rangers over a pro deal at Motherwell, spent four years on the fringes, and stalled his own development. We shouldn’t be the club rebuilding a player’s career for a direct rival.

If we were going to bring a loan player in from our rivals, the Welsh deal worked almost perfectly for all parties. We won a watch, he won a move and, you have to say, the points he helped us win against Hearts and Rangers, didn't exactly hinder Celtic's league challenge. The one regret was O'Neill's pathetic recall, seemingly just to cup tie him, but at least they didn't make a killing on his move to Swansea.

Seeing a lot of talk regarding what fees we'd get for selling the likes of Watt, Maswanhise, and Just. For Watt, I'd be looking around £2.5m (£3m with add-ons). Had he forced his way into the Scotland reckoning, then you'd be looking at a bit more. Understand Anderlecht offered around £3m for Maswanhise in January. Reports were they were going to come back with a larger bid this summer, potentially £3.5m (around £4m when you factor in add-ons) I really think for Just you are looking around a minimum starting figure of £7.5m given what he not only achieved with us last season, but also at the World Cup. He's a player whose stock is only rising, therefore it would be a real shame, I think, if he went for £4-5m. With add-ons you could get this deal up to around £9m. Be really hard to take to watch all three go, but if they do we must maximise this opportunity to really strengthen the club's financial position for years to come. It also gives the new manager a promising budget to work with and to make the necessary replacements. Again, I know some are 'doom and gloom' regarding potential departures, but look at Bournemouth. It's all about the right recruitment and I'd be really surprised if they had not identified potential targets to replace all of the above, given how much interest they've been attracting for a while now.

Ive never been a fan of loaning players from clubs in the same league...however, Stephen Welsh was a breath of fresh air in terms of his abilities and his attitude.
