Kris-A-Goalda Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 The wellest wishes in the world to Lennon as he moves on - not just following in the footsteps of McTominay et al, but showing that Motherwell can be a key brick on the path for youngsters with ambition beyond the Old Firm. Just a shame both Udinese tops for this season are absolute humpty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mio Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 I have to say, the way Lennon has left the club absolutely oozes class. He’s made a wee video message, put stuff out there on social media and I now see his family have added stuff to social media too thanking the club and fans etc for everything. When you see how some others have left, not so much us but other “provincial” teams, it’s a breath of fresh air. Should be held as an example to others how to leave a club….. the £4.75m does help as well right enough 🤣 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterwood Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 I wish to thank Lennon Miller for being such a loyal servant and class act. He has been a total ambassador for Motherwell and as others have said he's an inspiration for others that Motherwell can be the place to make your mark as a player and go on to clubs bigger than the old firm, and in bigger leagues. Thanks. Hope to see you back some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderpig Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 1 hour ago, Richie said: Detlef Esapa Osong rumour. Loan from Nottingham Forest 21 years old, Forward has only made 8 senior appearances since 2023 and has never scored a goal, hardly inspiring stats. For me if think we need someone with a bit more experience if the rumours are true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Biereth had 12 senior appearances (on loan) and 2 goals before he joined us, so sometimes it works out. I agree, however, we need someone (or someone else) with a bit more first team experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me if think we someone with a bit more experience if the rumours are true. Certainly failed to score from a limited number of games on loan from Forest. ...only 400 minutes in total from what I can find. At first glance uninspiring. Prior to that he averaged almost a goal a game at youth level.... 75 appearances 35 goals plus 9 assists. Not as impressive stats as Biereth admittedly and his career does seems to have slowed down since he signed his first pro contract. That happens to many 17 year olds though and only an exceptional talent would walk straight in to any first team.. He must have something if Forest gave him a longer term contract at age 17. Maybe worth a look but probably not an immediate solution up front for us. Said the same about Biereth though, and he proved me wrong. Probably not costing that much in wages so that's a plus. If it happens that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me if think we need someone with a bit more experience if the rumours are true. As a raw prospect to gamble on, he's probably a suitable replacement for Sule if he’s going to be out for a while. But even before Sule was injured, I felt we needed competition for Stamatelopolous/cover in case he got injured. I still figure we'll be looking for someone to fill that role. The plan B at the moment is move Maswanhise inside and play Said on the wing. I have to figure Jens will be looking for a better Plan B... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a regular starting striker with proven league experience, for the league campaign not a project, I am sure we can do better. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I am ok if this is striker 3 with a more inspiring permanent signing to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of the point I (and wunderwell) was making. We need someone more first team ready but also a replacement for Sule in terms of someone as a third striker, another option. Going with only two strikers in the squad is risky but don't see us having three 'proven' strikers in the squad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellfan Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 We need to sign a proven starting striker and bring in another project on loan, especially with Stama looking like a dud and part-time crock, and Sule out for who knows how long. I’m sure JBA is on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wont know if you dont ask, you could put any price you like on a player but its irrelevant if nobody is interested. I suspect as others have mentioned if he leaves the fee will be undisclosed ie nowhere near 7 figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
