Tickle Pickle Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Possibly a publicity stunt to get the move in because he knows hes free to go if the offer comes in. Isnt his Mrs from here anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Made Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Daily Record Transfer Centre also reporting he has handed in a transfer request..... However as i said "Daily Record" may be taken with a pinch of salt as they may have got that from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Think it would be best all round if we could get him moved on this month for a decent fee. Talented boy with lots of potential but he's not fancied it in recent weeks. Would like to think we have 1 or 2 quality players lined up should a deal go through.

weeyin Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 As mentioned from others before, not sure of the legitimacy of this website but...apparently Marvin has handed a transfer in citing family/personal reasons. Pearson.....Law.....nearly McDonald....quite the trend we might need to nip in the bud. May not be true, maybe it is. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2016/08/29/motherwell-winger-marvin-johnson-hands-in-transfer-request/? As a selling club, it's trend we need to encourage and embrace. If we're not selling on a decent a player every year, then we're not following our financial plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Celtic have plenty of CL cash. Them overpaying for Marvin would be tremendous. Look at how they got stung for GMS and Cifti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Wouldn't be adverse to Celtic signing him, especially if we could nab one of their fringe players in return. If the personal reasons line is being used though, it's surely for a move south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellowell Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Won't be Celtic how many wingers can u have 3 already 2 in great form and a 12 million 1 on way back from injury nothing has changed IMO if we don't get the offer we think he s worth he stays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 If he goes to Celtic I'll will buy a hat and eat it. My position hasn't really changed. If we get a good fee in then he should be offski. But we shouldn't be letting him go for peanuts or just because he wants to. Plenty of players have handed in transfer requests and been told to knuckle down until the club decides.

superward Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 That site is obviously connected to his agents. It was a sad sight seeing him trying to do a goodbye lap to general indifference on Saturday. Aye, you are probably right about the website.

Interesting...could be in for a rocky ride with the fans if a deal does not go through in the next 48 hours. By handing in the TR he's devalued himself as an asset for the club, as any bidders now know he wants to leave. I'm hoping the club have the resolve to hold out for a decent sum/valuation of him, particularly considering how much players of his type have been going for of late.

fizoxy Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Or the club have put out that he's asked to leave in an attempt to alert possible buyers. Just because he's put in a request doesn't mean we have to drop our asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or there is an offer on the table and this just makes it a bit easier for the club to accept as its not the £1m we all hope for. Let's us accept move him on and bring in and ex player in his position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I note that Flow hasn't actually said the request has been accepted. In truth the club have actively been talking him up all summer and trying to sell him so it's hardly as if he's been "not for sale", it's been the complete opposite he's totally for sale. The whole "hands in a transfer request" thing is really just window dressing on the situation. Semantics really. I can't really see the player/his representative going down that route unless he knows there are clubs interested. I'm curious to see who's in for him tbh. Forest looking to shift some of the cash they got for Burke maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Verheul Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Let's all start guessing who the ex player who plays in marvins position is. I'll go for Andy Roddie (the only other person to have said this is that ginger excuse for a manager) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Chris Burke is a possibility as training at Killie as no club and before the comments come in I know he hasn't played with us just trying to be serious for once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthefringes Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Chris Burke is a possibility as training at Killie as no club and before the comments come in I know he hasn't played with us just trying to be serious for once Burke? Serious? Deary me... Motherwell boss Mark McGhee has promised well fans he will spend any cash from the sale of marvin johnson wisely. Steven hammell, James McFadden, Scott McDonald , Keith Lasley and Stephen McManus have already been offered contract extensions till 2025.

Goggles & Flippers Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 He probably was told 18 months in Scotland tops when he signed, we're a few days away from that deadline so his agent wants a payday and he wants to play/test himself at what he thinks is a higher level. Not sure if the club are involved in this or are dealing with it reactively. If we get a massive fee then I'm sure it will be described as part of a master plan. If not, "we were undermined". If he doesn't move, it's down to McGhee to ensure his attitude and performances don't drop until the next window. To be fair, any future moves also depend on his form from now till Christmas.
