I suspect as others have mentioned if he leaves the fee will be undisclosed ie nowhere near 7 figures. Hello this is Motherwell FC here. We are enquiring about your striker(insert name here) How much to buy him ,please. Is that the same MFC that just sold their youth player for £4.5 million and their bank account is bursting. Lets just say think of a number and double it , yous can well afford it . Seriously , the manager is bound to have ideas for a long time on who would be available and who he would like to sign when the Miller money came in. It will be interesting to see how it goes in the next weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 8 minutes ago, grizzlyg said: Great news I think we have the basis of a good team and we should be looking to make sure some more of them are signed up for a few years so we either keep them or make some money on them. Of course we do need to add to our squad, hopefully with at least a couple worthy of being starters. Not sure what JBA’s contract is but it should be at least a three year one. And reviewing it at end of each year to consider extension. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real dosser Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 Not convinced about Hale. He had a good season with Murray alongside him but I watched their game against St Johnstone on Friday night and he was totally ineffective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched Hale tear it up in the NIFL for a few years before going to County last year, I can honestly say he's one of the most exciting players I've seen in the flesh when he's on his game. Loves a long ranger, can bend a free-kick like the best of them and has great spatial awareness to boot. If anyone else in Scotland gets him, I'll be surprised, but would love to see him in claret and amber. Cliftonville looked so far off it without him in their side last season and by the look of it, it'll be a while before there's another talent like him over here ready to jump the water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's never stood out when I've watched his teams play. But then for years, any time I watched Spurs play, Harry Kane was shite. His numbers suggest that wasn't always the case...

He is no better than what we have.  There is probably better value and ability outwith scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 Hale is not the type of signing we have tended to make in recent years. Ross County are wanting an inflated fee for him but will be panicking that he runs his contract down. Our money is better spent elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given our current striking options Hale would definitely be an upgrade, granted not a huge one but an upgrade none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 Hale’s streets ahead of what we’ve got, and the stats prove it, but the time to go for him was back when he was at Cliftonville. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 I'm curious to see what kind of striker JBA brings in. Maybe none of the names were are throwing about suit what he wants - or maybe they all do. Who knows? Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a stand out for County in a poor team and tore us apart at Fir Park. Can't believe some are turning their nose up at someone who scored 18 times last season. Obviously we won't pay what County want anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is quibbling that he's better than what we have. But all summer I've read people on here saying we should go for him "take the money for Stamatelopolous and go and get Ronan Hale". People are talking as if he’s the only striker out there.. I don't believe he's worth what County will want for him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
