It’s all ifs and buts just now. For what it’s worth, I didn’t rate Stama even before the transfer talk, so that’s definitely shaping my view that any profit is good profit. Either way, we need a new starting CF.

We are all well fans - c'mon.

Im going to be my predictable self here and think we should keep Ap Stam He didn't spend all of last year on the treatment table. Yes he had injuries but the second one was a freak one. A ball hit off his arm in training and he broke his wrist. He made 16 appearances last season - a lot more than some other players who were injured did Who do we get to replace him? Do we really want to go into this season with no striker? And - I don't care whether he smiles a lot or if he has resting bitch face as long as he gets the job done I'll caveat that by saying I think we need another striker but I'm definitely on the side of keeping him

Just heard JBA talking about the Ranger's game: "Next week we have some neighbours over for dinner. Let's hope we enjoy dinner the most" So maybe your chips will be fine.

Fads is going to be a big player for us.

This has been a good second half. Another game with the level of opposition going up and another improvement from us. im just ecstatic that I’ll never see a long throw in again under JBA. This brings me joy.

We have had a barrow load this year and have not looked dangerous at all

Penalty box striker with a goal. Give him decent service and he will score.

So much for AP bring anonymous,what do I know 🤦‍♂️, yaaaas

We have played some decent football tonight, the high press has been effective, we are actually playing out from the back effectively instead of hoofing it forward, but its the old issue we are toothless up front, Stamatelopoulos has been anonymous. I hope JBA has another striker lined up, as we can't start the season with what we have now.

As long as its not lifted by 8 and in the cells till Monday sounds like a good night out.

Her words.

Some folks are discussing Stama as if he’s the last striker on earth. He’s replaceable. And a profit for him, of any kind, would be a steal. We’re a player trading club after all. We should be looking to cash in and offer that money for Ronan Hale or similar. I’m confident JBA already has CF additions lined up.

His last injury was from getting a ball hit off his arm in training and it broke it - the Stam is made of chocolate really needs to be re evaluated in my view. Of course it's speculation that an Italian club might sign Miller but most people think he's going to go in the next couple of weeks - and if that's the case - we don't need to sell Stam I like Maswanhise but I wouldn't count on him to score a certain amount of goals -for a few reasons. Anyway. It's up to Motherwell and JBA. Not a minion like me The first game is a week on Saturday. I would be amazed if we had a striker signed prior to then

It quite possibly the reason we knocked the offer back that we are playing hardball and hoping they come up with a better offer. It's speculation only that an Italian club might sign Lennon . JBA will know of many strikers that we could sign that are better than ap stam We are a selling club , fact. We would not start the season without a striker. The transfer window is open until the end of August. If I was a betting man I would put money on tawanda to score more goals ap stam over the season. And lastly he might get a paper cut tomorrow and be out for six months .

How do you know that JBA hasn't already sourced one?Two weeks is a long time in football.

So where's the next striker lining up to sign for Motherwell? You tell me who you think we are going to sign before our first game of the season? In two weeks time Actually less than two weeks time - 9 days time. Who are we going to sign to replace Stam in the next 9 days?

Is there a world shortage of strikers .

Ok I’m plucking figures out of the air here but £250k to buy plus say £50k signing on fee and a years wage at say £3k per week, £150k, gives us a potential £450k outlay on him. Add the sell on fee and what’s left is not a lot for the club. Keep him a year and if he has a good season we could get around £1.5m. Buying him was a gamble, why cash in early for next to no return?

I think AP is going to have a good season with us. If we have balls coming in the box from both sides I can see him grabbing a good amount of goals.

He reminds me of Chris Long , looks disinterested. I could be a mile out but he just gives me that same vibe.

AP Stama has been very good in the role despite what people think.

If the Stama rumours are true, we should be taking that money and laughing all the way to the bank.
