Kmcalpin Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 12 hours ago, weeyin said: That's true, but the new manager's brief should also include "mutualling" any contracts for players he doesn't want. Agreed. That would give our new manager more leeway to bring in his own men. Plenty of scope to mutual permacrocks. The only player on the "undetermined list" I'd consider keeping would be Seddon and then its 50/50. As an aside the transfer window opens on Thursday. Apologies if everyone knows that.

Fair enough , but as I said I only concern myself with motherwell fc where he only played 10 times last season , which was a pity as he is a very good player. Oh and just to let you know I was very successful in my chosen field before I retired and indeed part of that was recruitment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi-1991 Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Don't think Millers performance for Scotland will have done his price tag any harm. Shall we start the game of "much we gettin?" bingo before the 'undisclosed fee' is inevitably announced. I will start the bidding at £5 mill plus addons.

weeyin Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 According to The Record: "Sunderland 'preparing' £10m Lennon Miller bid as Black Cats 'quietly confident' of landing Motherwell ace" Great money, but not the team for Lennon if he wants to play Champions League football. More likely to be struggling to avoid relegation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 It can certainly be a stepping stone - Liam Delap just got a big move from Ipswich to Chelsea after their recent insta-relegation. I just saw him going to a title contender in a European league. Although Sunderland has the potential to be successful if they can make it past the first season in the top flight. 10mill would be some fee though.

Mad Dog Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Ideally, we'd like him to go somewhere where he'll get sold on fairly quickly for a profit, so that we cash in twice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Grew Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 It’s well seen it’s the close season because I’ve never read so much sh*te about players we are ‘rumoured to be talking to’ and which of the two OF Lennon Miller will end up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 To be fair, we've been linked to 3 players so far (unless im missing someone), and 2 have signed already. Scott Burns broke the sylla story, and he's usually spot on. Still, it's only just talks so that doesn't mean he'll sign. As for the Miller to to OF stories, utter made up shite.

texanwellfan Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 I’m assuming that Miller will be off soon, so I’m looking forward to us getting a nice hefty sum up front and the chance of some future add ons. I’m hoping we don’t squander any money on transfers but rather use it to be a bit more competitive on the salary front and enable us to better compete for some higher quality players. To be honest if we can replace Miller with two or three better quality players than we currently have in our squad we won’t miss him that much. With the team and tactics we’ve had the last few years we have not got the best out of him. We basically restricted his ability to play to his full potential by the way we played and the “support” we provided around him. So my comment about not missing him that much is a reflection on Motherwell FC and not on Miller. His talent and ability is there for everyone to to see but we were just never able to take full advantage of it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
