You don't have to gatekeep on every single Slattery post

I agree and if, by some miracle, a club offered £500k - £1m for him then I'd say "sell".

I feel for him, and can’t help but think he’s been badly advised by his agent. He’s certainly earning a fortune but his career has declined, I just hope Cardiff move him on as they will not be able to afford his wages and he can kick start his career again as he’s a young guy still. for me he’s perfectly suited to German, French or Italian football. In my opinion he’s still probably the most technically gifted young player I’ve seen break through at Motherwell. I considered him better than the likes of Gary Mac and Phil.

Based on current form, and if Miller leaves, Slattery will be our most important/valuable asset. We should look after that.

I agree that selling Slattery this close season would be far from ideal. Especially as we are resigned to losing Miller. However, we are a selling club and we cant dictate when another club will come in for our best players. Its kinda stating the obvious. But the club will have a valuation for all our players where we say, ok, on you go son, and it will be weighed up against the potential value of keeping them vs the risk of injury. Personally, Id be looking at extending Slattery now to protect ourselves. He may not sign, but given we looked after him through a career threatening injury, he might. As long as there is a release clause if a bigger club comes calling. That way everyone is happy.

That's always true, but has to offset against the value he generates if he stays. An extra round in the cup plus a couple of league positions is worth a few bob. Not an exact science, and carries an element of risk. Plus, you can't afford to keep selling your best players unless you want another battle for 11th spot.

The problem is, Slattery could have a cracking season and then walk for nothing next summer, just like Spittal did. The club will have a better idea as far as his plans are, and how open he would be to signing a new deal potentially. What I would say is, any player entering the last year of his contract who has any kind of financial value has to be considered fair game for sale if the right offer comes along.

At the risk of sounding like that WWF wrestler from the 80's, everybody has a price.

Good to see DT was at the match on Wed. Pretty sure my uncle was trying to superglue his feet to keep him in Lanarkshire. Wonder if he regrets not moving abroad v's moving to Celtic.

Nice to see the hoop for once and not an advertising bar or this season's revamped "yoke" from nineteen canteen. God only knows what our groovy "designers" will be up to for next season 😱. Place your bets!

I just texted my brother and asked him would he sell Slattery for 100k And he's not always been the biggest fan of Slattery. His response was ha ha God no. He said more like a million and no one will offer that but if he plays like he's been playing recently he will move on for a lot more money than we could pay for him after he sees out his contract. 100k =peanuts I personally wouldn't sell him for 500k but I'm a bit biased - no shame there either
