Club will realise a market value like never seen soon enough. Interesting statement mate hopefully it’s true. Rumour I heard is he’s looking to go to Germany, Austria or Italy in that order of preference but no bids from those countries as yet.

dinnae-punt-it Posted Tuesday at 04:42 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 04:42 PM I actually see it as more of a 4-2-3-1, with the obvious back four, Watt and Miller, then Fadinger, Slattery and Maswanhise with AP up top. Could be completely wrong though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yassin Posted Tuesday at 05:00 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:00 PM I'm not reading anything else into it but I do find it a bit odd he's starting tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted Tuesday at 05:13 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:13 PM Miller? I don’t think it’s odd at-all. He is still our player and until an offer is made, accepted and finalised then that will remain the case. An offer will come, I have no doubt of that, but I suspect it might not come until mid to late August and therefore I see no issue with him playing for us until then. He won’t still be a Motherwell player by the time the transfer window shuts regardless of how many times he starts between now and then.

weeyin Posted Tuesday at 05:24 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:24 PM My Dutch colleagues tell me it's about 34C there today, so probably won't be seeing much high tempo football this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewelllfan Posted Tuesday at 09:27 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:27 PM Looking at the way he set up tonight our options at the moment are GK- Oxborough/Ward RB - SOD/Koutrombis/Mcginn CB - Gordon, Balmer, Mcghee, Mcginn LB - Wilson CM - Miller, Halliday, Slattery, Watt, Fadinger, Sparrow RW - Nicholson, Ross LW - Maswanhise ST- Stam, Robinson , Stuparevic we need 6/7 in to strengthen the squad. With a few outgoings. - Starting LB and RW need to be recruited asap. - We'll also need another 2 Cms when Miller is sold. - We need a LW, CB and a Target-man ST to put us in a good position going into the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterwood Posted Tuesday at 09:40 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:40 PM Badly lacking width and pace in final 3rd. Agree. Need quick starting lb and RB. Quality mobile finisher too and Lennon replacement very least. Over run in flanks again today. Similar to much of last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erskine Alpha Posted Wednesday at 05:05 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 05:05 PM For talking sake would you take Shankland (potentially 20+ goals) if we sold Miller for a good whack of cash or go with the new managers options? I don’t think it would make sense but if he was willing to come would it be of benefit or a detriment? I’m leaning towards no but this is also not a rumour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuwell2 Posted yesterday at 12:47 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:47 AM To my way of thinking we won’t see many, if any, further signings in the next few weeks until the club knows what cash it’s going to receive from the sale of Miller. The club - or the society don’t have a few million stashed away that they can afford to lose if a big money move for Miller doesn’t materialise and although it’s unlikely to happen, prudence is the name of the game. I’ve no doubt that they’ll have spoken with players and possibly agreed verbal terms on the condition of Miller being sold but those players may still sign for another team meanwhile.

weeyin Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Prudence should be the name of the game even if we get millions for Miller. The last thing we need to be doing is following the John Boyle Model of Recruitment & Financial Management. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago More signings will come with or without the Miller millions. I’m confident we’ll look to build a more balanced and financially sensible squad than we’ve seen in recent seasons. And that doesn’t mean scraping the barrel. It means prioritising quality over quantity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
