weeyin Posted Wednesday at 10:44 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 10:44 PM Eli gets bigged up in The Guardian's "Five Breakout World Cup Stars". Must be worth a few extra quid. Eli Just (New Zealand, 26) His World Cup performances have captured a wider audience than he had last season in Scotland, where he delighted supporters of an improving Motherwell side with consistently high-quality displays. An intelligent middle-to-front forward, Just is a late developer. He previously played in Denmark and Austria after leaving New Zealand and is now showing a belief in his ability. Bigger defenders have been caught off balance by a quick body swerve as he moves with intent from the middle third into dangerous areas and at this tournament he has benefited from complementing the strength and hold-up play of Chris Wood. Just’s advantage over similar attacking midfielders is how quick he is to assess situations – he sees pictures. Twice against Iran he saw the space in which to receive from his target man and score with perfectly placed right-foot shots. He can score with his left too but needs to score more. Just is consistently a highly skilled performer at club level and shows a commendable humbleness and intelligence. If he continues his improvement he will be on a bigger club’s radar.

mio Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago He comes over really well does Kyrk, it’s so refreshing listening to his outlook and enthusiasm for progressing the club….. it’s just what I need after watching Steve Clarke’s press conference and his IM Jolley demeanour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones that stuck around to get 40 or 50+ games under their belt had more success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maswanhise - Will flag up well in the data and Anderlecht seem to be sniffing about him. Could see us getting 3-4M for him which would be great. Just - Was comfortably one of the best players in the league had a good world cup and his agent basically came out and said he was gone. Had his breakout season at 26 again we'll cash in at 3-4M. Watt - Had a great season but again we could be looking at bids of 2-3M and if they come in he'll be sold. If we play our cards right we could take in £10M in transfer fees which would set the club up for years to come and would help us attract better quality players looking to build their careers. If they can help us go a couple rounds in Europe before they leave that would be lovely though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the ones coming through the only ones i'd be expecting around the first team are Zander Macallister and Olly Whyte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
