Not only that, surely targets would have been identified and perhaps PCAs signed some time ago. Has JBA's departure disrupted that process despite what the club has said? I thought the chairman said Nick Daws and team and been working and to expect a couple of signings in the next few days. He also said he wanted to give the new man "space to bring in his own signings". I'm pretty sure professional managers and coaches whose livelihoods depend on winning games are well aware of positions that need strengthening. As always, finding the right players for the right price who want to play in Motherwell is what takes time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellHighlander Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Seeing a lot of talk regarding what fees we'd get for selling the likes of Watt, Maswanhise, and Just. For Watt, I'd be looking around £2.5m (£3m with add-ons). Had he forced his way into the Scotland reckoning, then you'd be looking at a bit more. Understand Anderlecht offered around £3m for Maswanhise in January. Reports were they were going to come back with a larger bid this summer, potentially £3.5m (around £4m when you factor in add-ons) I really think for Just you are looking around a minimum starting figure of £7.5m given what he not only achieved with us last season, but also at the World Cup. He's a player whose stock is only rising, therefore it would be a real shame, I think, if he went for £4-5m. With add-ons you could get this deal up to around £9m. Be really hard to take to watch all three go, but if they do we must maximise this opportunity to really strengthen the club's financial position for years to come. It also gives the new manager a promising budget to work with and to make the necessary replacements. Again, I know some are 'doom and gloom' regarding potential departures, but look at Bournemouth. It's all about the right recruitment and I'd be really surprised if they had not identified potential targets to replace all of the above, given how much interest they've been attracting for a while now.

numpty Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Maswanhise not travelling to Denmark, I see... EDIT: Ah, never mind, he got skelped in the face and is having his injury assessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stall Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Id be shocked if we accepted anything lile £500k for him. A key part of last seasons midfield, we need him now slattery is gone & vultures looking at watt & just. Signed a new contract a few weeks ago as well. Couple of mill i reckon he's worth.

Orinoco Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Apparently a bid of £1.7m was made to Utd for Will Ferry!! Fadinger is worth way more to us than £500k. Laughable fee. Academy players go for more. I trust our club to deal with any offers accordingly and that scottish football clubs started to get the fees that are the normal across europe.

Richie Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Two bids rejected for Watt, according to Scott Burns. Both 7 figures. Will take at least £1.75m for us to even discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I just wonder, with all these rumoured bids, if target figures are included in individual contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced they would be unless its specifically a release clause. Those figures could change drastically over 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
