That's an unfair comparison in my view. Lennon is a special talent. The previous poster mentioned Hastie, and I think we can all agree that had he not accepted that Rangers deal he'd likely have pissed about with us for a season or two, not getting a steady run, then quietly let go to drift down the leagues. Only difference is that when that happened he had a decent wedge in the bank. I grudge no young player the chance to make good money. We can all bang on about how it would serve them better by staying at Fir Park and eventually winning the big move. But what if the big move never comes? What if they end up injured and are never the same? The fans aren't going to pay the mortgage or give them that financial cushion if they're playing part-time football. Bailey took the right course of action for himself at the time, and that's fine.

I just wonder, with all these rumoured bids, if target figures are included in individual contracts.

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.
