joewarkfanclub Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 I agree that selling Slattery this close season would be far from ideal. Especially as we are resigned to losing Miller. However, we are a selling club and we cant dictate when another club will come in for our best players. Its kinda stating the obvious. But the club will have a valuation for all our players where we say, ok, on you go son, and it will be weighed up against the potential value of keeping them vs the risk of injury. Personally, Id be looking at extending Slattery now to protect ourselves. He may not sign, but given we looked after him through a career threatening injury, he might. As long as there is a release clause if a bigger club comes calling. That way everyone is happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should look after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had no other injuries since signing for us as far as I'm aware. You don't have to gatekeep on every single Slattery post 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that appearance record includes a spell when the then Manager opted to leave him out, even when fit. The ACL injury is something interested Clubs will keep an eye on though so I guess January will be the window for offers if he is a regular until then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stall Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Regardless of the Miller situation, Slattery is no different from any other Motherwell player. - a suitable bid comes in he will be off. He has done well the last few months and on current form a key player for ud moving on, but lets not kid ourselves that he's not replaceable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 If he was replaceable we should have done that when he was out for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsince75 Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 The point re Slattery is he's one of the few players whom another club would pay a fee for. Current position (excl Miller) we don't have too many of those. I'm sure we'd all prefer he stay. The point for me is all Motherwell players will have price tag and should we be offered the right money we would sell. As we did for KVV, Bair and many that came before them, as long as we the price was right. In recent years we've been so much better in not giving it away. The huge positive in all of this is we stood by the player during his injury and in turn he signed another contract. Add to that he's been on top form and attracted this type of discussion. What a difference playing in a more forward position, he's gone from the most booked player to potential top scorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxteth O'Grady Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Tony Watt seems to be on his way out. Probably the right decision https://x.com/32watto/status/1924181929336725591 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I think Turnbull and Campbell were a bit of a double act like Pettigrew and Graham. They just weren't as good as solo artists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be in the minority but I thought he was doing a good job, he’s signed some decent players and they play quite an attacking style. They also lost MCcowan and Cameron went a bit off form and they were victims of some shocking decisions but at no point did I think they’d go down. If anything I was surprised they didn’t make the top 6. not unless there’s an underhand thing going in with him going to hearts with his old mate.

If someone sorts out that defence over the summer they'd be well in the mix for a top 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"this season the results of the team have not met the standards expected by the club." backs that up. I see Hearts have given McInnes a 4 year deal.

Hearts will be ultra horrible to watch next season once he gets them even more skilled in the dark arts. Devlin will be in his element. I suspect the new rule to prevent goalies time wasting will not apply to them. Pretty telling that Killie appear to have been pretty easy to deal with. There fans were more upset about the timing and disrespect shown to their Club than him actually leaving I gather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
