Absolutely this. If they want him they can pay a fair price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we can decide to keep him, but right now he's a sellable asset, so he can't be allowed to walk for nothing. As it stands, that means we'll have to accept the price someone is willing to pay, either in the summer or next January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 33 minutes ago, bobbybingo said: The value of any player is generally determined according to who's selling, not who's buying. They'd pay more if he was with an English club, because they'd have to. This ties into the investor/WS topic. If we didn’t have to sell to survive we could name our price and either get more money or keep him longer and not worry about missing out on a transfer fee. So in our current situation you are probably correct in as much that we don’t want to risk loosing out on what is a big chunk of money for us.

Why should we always have to see players as assets we can sell rather than trying to get them to sign a new contract Miller signed an extension. Why shouldn't Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 We need to remember he is only on a 2yr contract. I am not looking to sell him but if we get a good offer be wise to cash in. Reminds me of Connor Sammon at Killie, had 1 good season, derby paid £2 million and he done her haw afterwards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why shouldn't Theo I'm not sure what Miller's decision has to do with Bair's plans. And that extension won't stop him being sold when a decent offer comes in. There's absolutely no chance Lennon Miller will still be here next season unless something goes badly wrong with his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say that Millers extension had anything to do with Bairs plans. Just that if Miller signed an extension why shouldnt Bair. Anyway. I'll shut up and let you get on with it.

So if that happens the club will say yes take the money on offer and say thanks Theo best of luck with your career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 2 minutes ago, wellgirl said: But we surely have to weigh up the goals he could score for us if we keep him That will certainly factor into out decision. And/or selling him in January. Of course the ideal scenario would be extending his contract another 12 months with a guaranteed release clause for a value both parties think is fair. The risk for us then is he is terrible next season and we get zero offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get your point. But they can afford more and we should hold out for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give you Kevin Van Veen we cashed in perfectly on him, as we did with Michael Higdon. The Motherwell way is cash in when the decent cash is on offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
