Gadgey Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago https://the72.co.uk/2026/01/17/sheffield-wednesday-barry-bannan-eyed-motherwell/ Almost certainly a load of old tosh but here’s some Barry Bannon to ‘Well click bait. He is a JBA type of player and in great shape for his age. Watched him boss it at the Valley earlier this season and not surprised to see top end championship teams linked with him. Doubt we could afford his wages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doesn't look like he's on the same wavelength as the rest of the team. Yup...to be honest he hates a physical battle...especially against thugavetti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we could afford his wages I'd love Bannan to come to Motherwell but it makes no sense for him at all. Top Championship clubs want him and he'd need to take a massive pay cut, so unless it's family reasons I can't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago I would love if if Bannan came to us, and he would be an excellent addition, especially with how we play, but he can make multiples of what we can offer at one of those boring lower league English clubs.

robsterwood Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Ap stam not working in our system. Move him on. Also send. Back loan playe from Forrest. Ross can go on loan to lower league team. Shows today that our reserves lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeyin might also be referring to me. Some players have improved under Askou and I'd say Slattery is a decent option but I don't even think he's a nailed on first choice now. Fadinger, Watt and Just all go straight in the team before Slattery. I mean I'm not on to bring the guy down, he's been better recently, but he's our 4th/5th choice midfielder depending on how you feel about Priestman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Don't worry, I don't keep a notebook of people who make comments I disagree with! I have no idea who posted about Slattery - just that there were many dissenters. It always surprised me, as he always looked like a footballer to me, and any time I saw his starts for tackles, passes and assists he was usually near the top. He was also the most fouled player in the Premiership at one time, which suggests the opposition rated him too. I totally get that everyone has their favourites and preferred style of player etc. but I have to admit that sometimes I'm left scratching my head.

It will have to be silly money surely for us to sell in this window. Celtic are not a good team and we can finish above them so why weaken us to strengthen them? Strikers scoring goals, with pace are rare. There is so much assumption that Manwanhise will go to one of the OF. Our media think the OF are the centre of the world. Plenty English clubs will be looking and a couple of rumours that Birmingham City are going to test our resolve with a £4.2 million bid. A bid of that order would be very hard to ignore because no matter his performances until seasons end its unlikely to generate a return of £4.2 million. Sure his valuation could go higher if we were very lucky. A cup win wouldn't return that kind of money. A European run could but would need to involve group stage qualification and that's a huge "IF". Its a real dilemma for the club should these kind of figures materialise, glad I don't need to make the call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has really added to his game and his goals would be difficult to replace. But if a £4m plus bid comes in for him them he will be away. Hopefully we can keep this squad in tact to the end of the season though, as I think we have a real shot at the Scottish Cup this season. Especially after yesterdays results.

The sad truth is the OF are the centre of the media’s world in Scotland . It’s all they talk about as it lines their pockets . I rather hope we keep him - at least until summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knocking him but I believe that this is partly due to him going down very easily and winning free kicks rather than him actually being fouled. Not that it’s a bad thing at times but he does seem to do it rather a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 13 hours ago, purestate said: Worse than not being able to play the style of football, he didn’t seem interested in making an effort. Hes looked like that ever since he came to Fir park, the " i dont want to be here look" . He contributed feck all yesterday, so we effectively started with a man down, he needs to be moved on ASAP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
