I'll take that bet - if both play the full season. DM Me.

Let's leave this exchange here eh. We have different views and that's completely fine BTW. I completely respect your opinion even though I don't agree with it

So who plays up front when we play Rangers first game of the season if we sell Stam - just also going to point out that I'm not the only person on here who has said the same I personally don't care what the Miller money is going to be used for. Having no striker ten days before the start of a season would be absolute madness in my view

Prepare to be amazed minion.

We cannot afford to turn down offers like that for (in my opinion ) a bang average player who has done nothing in a motherwell shirt so far to convince me otherwise. The money we get for Lennon will most likely be used on infrastructure within fir park or a training ground so we will still need money for players in the future , we don't know when our next big player sale is coming from so we have to cash in when offered silly money for a bang average player . I have faith in JBA knowing what he is doing unlike one of our previous managers.

His last injury was from getting a ball hit off his arm in training and it broke it - the Stam is made of chocolate really needs to be re evaluated in my view. Of course it's speculation that an Italian club might sign Miller but most people think he's going to go in the next couple of weeks - and if that's the case - we don't need to sell Stam I like Maswanhise but I wouldn't count on him to score a certain amount of goals -for a few reasons. Anyway. It's up to Motherwell and JBA. Not a minion like me The first game is a week on Saturday. I would be amazed if we had a striker signed prior to then

It quite possibly the reason we knocked the offer back that we are playing hardball and hoping they come up with a better offer. It's speculation only that an Italian club might sign Lennon . JBA will know of many strikers that we could sign that are better than ap stam We are a selling club , fact. We would not start the season without a striker. The transfer window is open until the end of August. If I was a betting man I would put money on tawanda to score more goals ap stam over the season. And lastly he might get a paper cut tomorrow and be out for six months .

I don't know. But given the fact that we knocked the offer for Stam back it might allude to the fact that JBA wants to keep him - because as other people have said we don't need the money - apparently Udinese are going to make an improved offer for Miller in the next couple of days It would be absolute madness us starting next season with no striker BTW - if we sign Hale or someone else I might re evaluate but as it stands I'm for keeping Stam

How do you know that JBA hasn't already sourced one?Two weeks is a long time in football.

So where's the next striker lining up to sign for Motherwell? You tell me who you think we are going to sign before our first game of the season? In two weeks time Actually less than two weeks time - 9 days time. Who are we going to sign to replace Stam in the next 9 days?

Is there a world shortage of strikers .

Ok I’m plucking figures out of the air here but £250k to buy plus say £50k signing on fee and a years wage at say £3k per week, £150k, gives us a potential £450k outlay on him. Add the sell on fee and what’s left is not a lot for the club. Keep him a year and if he has a good season we could get around £1.5m. Buying him was a gamble, why cash in early for next to no return?

Im going to be my predictable self here and think we should keep Ap Stam He didn't spend all of last year on the treatment table. Yes he had injuries but the second one was a freak one. A ball hit off his arm in training and he broke his wrist. He made 16 appearances last season - a lot more than some other players who were injured did Who do we get to replace him? Do we really want to go into this season with no striker? And - I don't care whether he smiles a lot or if he has resting bitch face as long as he gets the job done I'll caveat that by saying I think we need another striker but I'm definitely on the side of keeping him

Moult has signed for League Two side Crewe Alexandra.

Nae bother Craig David 🤪🤪

I think also you don't accept the first bid, if they are keen they will be back plus we don't know what sell on % we would need to pay Newcastle jets We are under no pressure to sell

Finish work at 3, pub by 4, and at the game for 7. Really looking forward to this one.

That would be my take. Any offer would need to factor in how much his previous club are due but if we can make anything close to £500k profit on a player that is yet to prove his reliability, I think we’d be willing to make a deal happen. He’s presumably one of our top earners so freeing up his wages alone would let JBA find someone that is better suited to the system.

Agree totally to sell at slightly higher rate. Great piece of business. Though as in business never accept first offer. If they want him they will pay.

He looked very happy when he scored the other night.

I think AP is going to have a good season with us. If we have balls coming in the box from both sides I can see him grabbing a good amount of goals.

Nah.....AP has smiled on a few occasions 🤣

I agree. If offered £800k it's tempting but I think with a run of games and injury free he will be key player. Kettlewell signed him then played him in headless chicken role. JB playing him in correct position. However if viking upped bid to £1 ,000,000 plus add-on's it's very tempting

He reminds me of Chris Long , looks disinterested. I could be a mile out but he just gives me that same vibe.

AP Stama has been very good in the role despite what people think.
