Aye, I'm sure MON will be on the phone saying "what do you mean you reject my bid? I heard on a podcast you only wanted 3 million!"

Come on boys, what the fuck does Andy Halliday know about player value? No more or less than the rest of us, no club is going to be putting any stock in what he said what so ever, calm the beans.

Yip 6 of us who would have gone for a 3.00pm KO will now sit and watch on the telly.

Unless the club has cleared him to discuss such topics, I’d say Halliday’s crossed a line here. His insights on Motherwell can be valuable, but commenting on a player’s value amid intense transfer speculation is probably pushing it too far.

Halliday said he hoped JT was not transferred. I had no issue with how the conversation went. I hope everyone who has commented on it has at least watched the clip?

Putting pricing aside, it’s a fair distance from Motherwell to Aberdeen and back, so a 7.30pm Saturday KO is utterly ridiculous for fans and will guarantee low ticket sales. The people running our game are morons.

Do both clubs not need to agree the pricing? Anyway, I'm seeing £18 for over 65s, £12 for under 18s and £6 for under 12s.

What a crappy time. Be lucky to get home for 2 in the morning. Certainly won’t be taking my son up there. Pricing is away to pot as well. £23 and £18 for a concession. Typical Aberdeen

Aberdeen tie.....wait for it......7.30Ko on sat night of 7 February!!

The journos are going to ask the same old boring questions regardless of anything Halliday says - it adds zero to the narrative they are already pushing i.e. any player having a good season is a transfer target for Celtic and Rangers. And the club is going to give the same answer - also regardless of anything Halliday says.

With Shankland out for a bit JT has a decent chance to capture top goal scorer for this season. another few Bob into his value at end of the season I’d like to see us keep this group for next season in Europe, assuming we get there. Perhaps talk with the likely transfer targets and convince them to stay to see how well we can do in Europe then they can go after that

This is from the same paper that read a made up transfer rumour on a hibs website and ran the story as fact! Not the first time they have done that. The main stream media with regards to scottish football is and has always been shocking. All they want is readers and listeners and their beloved glasgow teams to win without competition. The pundits are mostly failed managers and coaches. The easy answer to any enquiries is Not for sale in this window, but if you really want our player then offer us the same level of millions you have spunked on average joes from abroad.

Jens will no doubt just ignore the report in a shit stain news rag that he doesnt read and get on with his job of preparing the team. Of course he will probably get asked about it in this weeks presser, but he has already shown he likes to swat those kind of questions away like flies. I look forward to more one liners and that rye smile.

There we go…. It’s only a matter of time. Daily record report “Motherwell insider says it’ll take £3m fo Celtic and rangers to get Maswanhise” lol I know many of you don’t think it’s a problem but if I was manager of the club and I had to deal with crap like this initiated by one of my own players I would be going fkn mental. Just another problem the manager now needs to deal with and answer to at his press conferences…. A problem he can do without

I am not really that concerned with what Halliday said, that isn't going to influence anyone regarding bids. For a guy who hadn't featured at all before his injury his praise of JBA the other week shows how much he loves working with him

Halliday has no influence on bids being offered or accepted anyway 🤷‍♂️

Not sure how Halliday has "low balled" us. He was asked what he thought Maswanhise was worth and he said "at least £3m". Thats the minimum. But its the January window, if clubs are desperate and we stick to our guns, the value could be significantly higher. Pesrsonally I dont think Tawanda is going anywhere this window. The club and the manager have proved they know what they are about. They will have a quiet word in his ear and tell him to keep doing what he is doing and an even bigger offer will come in the summer. And it probably wont be from a team in our league.......

Absolutely raging at that Halliday on TJ and the only reason I can see is he's publicly low balled a valuation as the currants are interested. He has no right as a paid employee of the club to band about such pish. As for those staying oh it's still a lot of money, get a grip. You don't see other clubs drip feeding shite valuations of their players. Get that prick to fk out the club asap. Does he think noone on the press watches Open Goal?? There is no excuse to mention this. He can politely pass, but no he wants his puddle drinking mates to pick him up on the cheap. No ginger bottles allowed guys, sorry.

This weeks presser with JBA will be a fun one if the JT stuff comes up again. I'm not a huge fan of open goal, but Halliday has been a positive for us and generally speaks well about the game. As said above, he'll know what he's not allowed to talk about, and there's been a few times where he has refused to go into detail about certain things. The rags are desperate to make something happen with JT, and we've seen them run with tranfer links for literal years, so you just have to ignore it. I'm very sure that even bin fires of clubs dont take transfer advice from hacks wo are desperate to fill up column inches with AI slop. A large factor in a transfer fee is the length of contract and what the players current terms are. Think of it as compensation for the selling club to replace the player. There's other market factors that come into play, as well as how desperate a club is to sell, but when you see a club like Hearts or Hibs get bigger fees than us for similar players, the length/value of their contract is a big part of it. The player is also going to be more expensive the further up the food chain they go because they've proven themselves at a higher level. On our players, we will have our valuation, and when that's met, we will sell them. That's the model we're trying to follow.

If the club was worried about it they would ask him to stop. While he sometimes crosses the line, I think he's a net benefit for all the positive stories he tells.

It's not going to have any effect on the fee,the problem is halliday has just created an unnecessary headline for a player that for all we know could start to be getting unsettled with all the speculation,he should be keeping his mouth shut.

The quicker we get shot of Halliday the better if I was a manager I would not be wanting my players sat actively celebrating other teams in our leagues goals don't care wither they are a fan or not and slating other teams players on their podcast. Now he's talking valuations of his own teams best players. It's a shame cos he seems like a good guy around the dressing room but his social media stuff draws unnecessary headlines for the club.

The sooner we get to the end of the transfer window the better. Between that and Trump “Ma heids aboot tae burst”

I didn't say it was my valuation of Tawanda, but 3m is still a decent wedge, he is worth more imo
