It's all potential that's being paid for at the moment. As good as he is, lots of players his age disappear of the radar by the time they are 21.

We can get good value in add-ons with the right deal though.

I'm not quite sure what kind of money you were expecting, as this is very much in the ball park of every valuation I have seen since the outset.

Ive no doubt its all potential at his age but there are numerous players his age and below who have gone for similar if not a lot more money and as u say its all just potential 

 

Oyo, 14 years old - €2.5mil

Merida - 15 years old - €3.2ml

Pellegri - 16 years old - €20mil

 

And just for laughs and if we want to get silly and suggest every single player of his age only has potential then

Pato - 17 years old - €24mil

Junior - 18 years old - €45mil

Rodrygo - 18 years old - €45mil

Some could argue that the above, of literally hundreds of young players didnt have the stats of Miller or had/have even been capped for their country so I still maintain that £4.5mil, given his apparent stats and stature isn't an awful lot of money but the fact he plays for Motherwell and is playing in Scotland along with not having a fancy sounding name has clearly had an impact on his valuation, so as I said, lets hope we get a good sell on clause and all the 4.5mil is up front and maybe add an "o" to the end of Miller 🤑

There's the potential of being screwed over with the sell on fee if Udinese sell Miller to themselves at Watford for a low fee and then let Watford sell him on at a huge profit.

Their owners are dodgy as fuck.

Miller would also have to be open to a move to Watford.

The extra wee kick back he'd get as a cut for saving them the sell-on fee before immediately moving on somewhere else would probably soften the blow, all without ever having to step foot in Watford.

Apparently Ipswich Town made an offer that Motherwell rejected.

Hopefully this gets put to bed over the course of today and tomorrow and Jens can get some CB's and CF's in the door over the coming week

Scottish Sun reporting a fee of £4.75m plus add ons.

The sell on will be the add on if you catch on 😜

They said it separately. Add ons plus a sell on fee.

And the likelihood is that’s wide of the mark. The Daily Recard no closer.

Used as leverage rather than rejected.

That's a decent base fee and you'd expect add ons take it to 5M if there's a sell on as well we've done well. I wouldn't expect much to be re-invested in the squad. 

I'd say we need another 4/5 players to finish the squad

2x Cb

1x Cm

2x Attackers - 1 out an out striker, 1 that can play all across the forward line.

Squads light with all our injuries and JBA clearly doesn't fancy Balmer so could do with shifting him.

I have to step in and say there is no need for horrendous patter....seriously......there is nothing worse.

Cue........ba boom 😜😜😜😜

What's the difference between Motherwell and a triangle - a triangle has three points - that was back in the day when we weren't doing very well - around 1989 from recollection

Pot.kettle.dark colour? You refer to the two Glasgow clubs in our league as the blue and green uglies. Maybe sit this one out.

Aye, that's the same thing.

5 million euros probably about £4.75 million so happy with that.  As long as a sell on percentage then it's good business
