That's a decent base fee and you'd expect add ons take it to 5M if there's a sell on as well we've done well. I wouldn't expect much to be re-invested in the squad.
I'd say we need another 4/5 players to finish the squad
2x Cb
1x Cm
2x Attackers - 1 out an out striker, 1 that can play all across the forward line.
Squads light with all our injuries and JBA clearly doesn't fancy Balmer so could do with shifting him.
Yeah, ramblings of a bewildered OAP. I was waiting for some comments from him about how if we were an independent country that we’d lose all our pensions.
There's the potential of being screwed over with the sell on fee if Udinese sell Miller to themselves at Watford for a low fee and then let Watford sell him on at a huge profit.
Their owners are dodgy as fuck.
Its 11 goals from 8 games, (4 LC and 2 League, 2 friendlies ) and conceded 5 so currently we are plus 6 GD.
The reality is though we should have scored a lot more goals based on the chances we've created so currently we are toothless up front, if you are not scoring goals you wont win many matches.
I have to admit, considering all the hype around Lennon (mostly from his dad 🤣), 4.5mil is underwhelming, especially when you look at bang average players going for tens of millions of pounds all over europe and England in particular.
I suppose its the back water market we are in but hopefully we get a good sell on clause and as Grizzly says, we can move on as its really dragging on now!!!!!
Pragmatism? It’s certainly media savvy and the sensible approach.
What’s to say the signings wished for are not long term goals as much as investing in club infrastructure?
Think we are well placed.
From injured in league cup campaign to not ready for Bertha Berlin,to maybe playing against rangers to being fit and trainec all week to not feature in squad against at mirren,lennons stealing a wage.
It’s a shame as he’s been a great player to watch and see him develop into a class young player but I now want him to get out asap to raise some funds to help the manager recruit a few new players.
so……selfishly…. Thanks Lennon, the very best to you young man and I look forward to seeing you rise to the top….but please fk off soon 🤣
Yes. My greatest concern is lack of firepower. Whilst I do like our current brand of football, I also like to see us hit the net a few times. We do seem to be utterly toothless.
I think ONeill is fine, he is what he is. He’s just a bit of a simpleton and a bit of a bigot but that just comes from being a product of his environment.
i think he genuinely loved Motherwell and our fans.
I was delighted when I watched Tom Boyd lift the Scottish Cup.
Could not care less what he said or did after that, and certainly don't get offended by anything a footballer says. They are not typically blessed with deep insight or even common sense.
At the end of the day its the fans who wield the power. Stop watching EPL and Euro games on TV and buying their clubs kit and the mega money will dry up.
