Hopefully we have a wee word in Ronan Hale's ear on Sunday to join us if County go down.

It wouldn't be terrible if we could get Noah Chilvers from them as well 

Totally agree with the Hale comment, the guy appears to work his socks off and has talent, id bite Ross County's hand off if he were available!!!!

I see Stuart Armstrong is a free agent? I always liked him as a player but at 33 I’m not too sure. He does seem like one of these uber fit guys and im sure he’d do us a decent turn for a season but i would understand the reluctance.

Great player. But, another one who is likely to have offers way above our pay grade unfortunately. He would probably walk into any SPL team outwith Celtic right now.

Agree, probably more a Hearts, Hibs Aberdeen or even back to Utd kind of signing if he were to come back to Scotland.

I honestly think Stam is going to come good for us and prove his worth next season.

I am predicting 15 plus goals from him next next season and Slattery at least 10 offt it's going to be sensational.

I’ve a feeling that we might get an offer or two for Slattery over the summer and if it’s enough then he will be away.

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.    

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.

Agreed - I know Lennon gets and deserves lots of plaudits but DT was for me way above everyone . 

I’d put DT up there with Bobby Russell in terms of technical and agree foreign leagues would suit him .

From the player we seen at us,it's crazy to think turnbull will be playing league 1 football next season.its a totally different game abroad and it's no wonder the likes of max Johnstone is doing well,any youngster should be advised to avoid the cesspits of Ibrox and parkhead at any cost.

I really can’t see lennons father allowing that to happen? I’d hope not anyway. He needs to head abroad. He could use DT as the example.
as for DT, I understand that both Lecce and Cardiff both offered similar amounts to sign him from Celtic but cardiffs wages were wild in comparison and he opted for there. When these offers come in, I can’t help but think agents play a part.

I think DT would have been better served abroad, but he was also unlucky with injuries at Celtic. Even so, he made 100 appearances, scored 25 goals and picked up a handful of medals along the way.

At his young age, ff he'd stayed fit, it might have set up him for a bigger move elsewhere. Maybe not a Henrik Larsson type move to Barcelona, but certainly a Virgil van Dijk type move (before he ended up at Liverpool).

His move to a struggling Cardiff side was a strange one, though - and then he picked up another injury which interrupted his chance at regular football again.

I always like to see Scottish talent test themselves overseas, so hope Miller takes that route.

If we sell Lennon is a loan move a possibility? I know it sounds ambitious but If ye don't ask

He was a first choice starter when he got back to full fitness, so not sure Cardiff would want to loan him out. Sell him, maybe, if they need some cash after relegation.

My mate said exact same about chilvers last night

Nah, his eighties hairstyle and gimpy arms can stay where they are. He occasionally looked good against us, which isn't exactly high praise.

I don't think so tbh - we won't need money for Slattery once we sell Miller - and whatever offer we get for slats is likely to be peanuts - particularly if it's to another spl team 

How much do you consider peanuts to be?

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.

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

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.

Slattery has a really bad injury record since arriving at us, I can’t see a team buying him until they see that he can go a full season without a spell on the sidelines. 

id be really surprised if any team would be willing to take a punt on him right now.

id hope he gets a good pre season, stays clear of injury and has an excellent season with us. If he goes at the end of it, even as a free agent, then good luck to him.
