Just seen 4 game ban for Watt. Is that true? Can he play in euro games or not?

Yes, happy days, before we discovered women, booze and scrabble. Glad you liked the foatie. Though I say it myself, my titfer is quite magnificent 🎩 but the years (and MFC) have taken their toll on mind and body.......

Is the Friday night game going to be on Motherwell TV or just the pay per view option?

Not sure what any possible buyers might offer the player in wages. Do they adopt the approach of low ball transfer fee knowing that the salary offer to the player/agent will be enough for them to become unsettled and then he doesn’t want to play for us so we take the low ball offer?

That was some bus the EK supporters bus. Your new profile photo is so you. COYW

Maybe the source likes succulent lamb and his benefactor has a vested interest in keeping the price down! 😍😍😍

JWFC, totally agree mate. weeyin, normally I’d agree with you also but even by their lazy/low journalism standards, for them to pick the low figure - one that I’ve not seen mentioned - for a player who is widely regarded to have been one of the best midfielders in the league last season is strange.

Somebody makes up a number when posting on twitter. 5 people retweet. Someone on a fans' fourm reads the tweet and repeats it in post. Journo copy and pastes number from the post in transfer rumours article. Somebody quotes the journo in a tweet. 10 people retweet. Another fan posts details on the tweet in a different forum. Different journo posts number from "multiple sources" And that, is how internet "facts' are created.

Scottish newspapers generally have no clue what we are up to these days. Its quite refreshing, even if it is a little frustrating waiting on any real news about our ins & outs......

Guy at work says the scum is reporting that we’ve knock back a bid of £1m for Watt. We’ve been hearing that we’ve knocked back bids of £1.7m for him so where do they get their low figure? Can we now expect them and other Scottish media outlets and pundits to be saying that one of the arse cheeks has offered £1.5m and we should take it?

And, like Elliot Watt, he's part Scottish so a similarly impressive season could see him under consideration for Scotland (if he's willing to switch).

1. Elijah Just - New Zealand Despite going out in the group stages of the tournament, the Motherwell playmaker was the highest ranked Scottish Premiership star at the tournament, with an average rating of 7.73. He equalled Henrik Larsson's World Cup goal tally for a Scottish club player by scoring three goals in three games at the World Cup. (must be worth a few more Euros now it's official)

Tell us the difference between your opinion and his?

A phrase i don't hear a lot Thank you so much 😁

Because thats what agents are paid for to have "if" for all sorts of scenarios in contracts. Agents arent daft.

Do we really think when we signed these players both them and the club seriously thought there would be possible multi million pound bids for them. I would think probably the oppisite, that's why CLUB has an option for another year on their contracts. All these players came from relative obscurity and smaller teams why would they even think of a triggering bid to leave when signing up .

Usually, but not always, at the behest of the buying club.

Its not always just down to the club. Players agents have all sorts of clauses in their contracts that forces the clubs hand. Look at Shankland.

Trouble is, once a player is aware of how much more money they can make by moving on, how do we keep them?

Priestman is our replacement for Watt, i assume? So, while I’d rather have kept Watt he is probably one of the easier replaceable players.

We should be in no rush to sell. Our finances are healthy. The directors promised us we wouldn't sell our best assets at the same time.

One of our best league seasons was when Albion Rovers put us out the cup. I certainly won't be writing off next season if we perform poorly against HB.

Suppose all you like. That poster is incessant and deserves calling out. There is no engagement with some as the takes get ever wilder. If folks don’t realise how the club focus in operation after the year past, they never will.

I doubt he'd like that.

Ok, got to give you it. That was a good one! 👏👏👏
