Joeboy Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 As an aside, if we've offered him a deal and he opts to move on I guess we'd be entitled to compensation. This may be exactly why we have offered him a deal. If we don't he will leave for nothing. It might be a minimal offer that he won't accept but allows us to claim compensation. I think for compensation you need to offer him at least what he is on at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that he has to be offered the same deal or better than he is currently on, before any compensation can be claimed. Admittedly his deal may not be that great currently.

Admittedly his deal may not be that great currently. Yes that is one of the criteria of gaining compensation. But for someone like Moore you're not talking six figures.

superward Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 On Robinson - seems a good extension to me and gives us that continuity as someone above mentioned. On Moore - Been out on loan, scored 11 in 21 starts (24 appearances) at League 1 level. Has done himself no harm in getting a contract extension on the face of it. I am sure if the management team think he is worth a new contract he will be. May be a choice between extending Moore or Fletcher perhaps as I cant see us extending both? With Moore being 21 and Fletcher 25 then Moore might edge it and get that chance. Be interesting to see what happens anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Superwell Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I see we are being linked with Fleetwood striker Jamille Matt, who is currently on loan at Plymouth, saw a rumour on twitter and the Sun newspaper is also reporting so its probably nonsense if they are going with it.

weesacs Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 what the chances of McGhee getting the Celtic job? I think he will want it! he's always wanted it! but what kind of impact does that have on how we prepare for next season? does Fletchers contract expire at the end of this season?

capt_oats Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 does Fletchers contract expire at the end of this season? He signed on a 1 year deal with a 1 year option so it's a case of whether we take it up or not.

Del_Superwell Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 McGhee wont be considered for the job and thats guaranteed, to appease the discontent in the Celtic support they need a big name and i think most of their fans want Davie Moyes rather than another cheap option.

Mitch Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Motherwell veterans Keith Lasley, Stevie Hammell, Stephen McManus and Scott McDonald will be offered new contracts at Fir Park, while James McFadden will be given the change to prove his fitness.(The Herald) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWellfan Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 ^^ I'm underwhelmed. The only one I would keep is McDonald, the rest are limited, and if we can't find someone better to replace them it's time for new scouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeboy Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Lasley has had a very good season, very effective when played in the correct role with suitable players beside him. Hammell has had the odd fault over the course of the season, but we are a far better team with him, than without him. While it's time to maybe think of replacing him long term, he's definitely worth another year. Our attempts to replace him in Chalmers, Francis-Angol and Straker show how difficult a job replacing him is. McDonald is a no brainier. McManus, I am not his biggest fan, in fact I have been highly critical of him over the past two seasons. The most annoying thing is how good he can be, but isn't so often. However, I do think I judge him on how good I think Stephen McManus should be, rather than how good a 33 year old Motherwell centre back should be. If our other three centre backs are to be Laing, Kennedy and Hall, then they will need experience. For all his shortcomings, remarkably I do think he will be tough to replace and could be talked into keeping him for continuity's sake alone. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
