Close on £2m I heard. It’s from someone who is usually reliable but you never know. I don’t see anything online about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewelllfan Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago So Watt won't play in the European game then as there's been concrete bids for him. We need another 2 in before that game v HB as we're very light on numbers heading into that game by the looks of things 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirParkCornerExile Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago I was kinda expecting around £2.5 for Watt , doesn't seem wee are in that ball park area. Mind you no one knows the trigger points and clauses in players contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, while I’d rather have kept Watt he is probably one of the easier replaceable players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players agents have all sorts of clauses in their contracts that forces the clubs hand. Look at Shankland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we really think when we signed these players both them and the club seriously thought there would be possible multi million pound bids for them. I would think probably the oppisite, that's why CLUB has an option for another year on their contracts. All these players came from relative obscurity and smaller teams why would they even think of a triggering bid to leave when signing up . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirParkCornerExile Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago Because thats what agents are paid for to have "if" for all sorts of scenarios in contracts. Agents arent daft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago 1. Elijah Just - New Zealand Despite going out in the group stages of the tournament, the Motherwell playmaker was the highest ranked Scottish Premiership star at the tournament, with an average rating of 7.73. He equalled Henrik Larsson's World Cup goal tally for a Scottish club player by scoring three goals in three games at the World Cup. (must be worth a few more Euros now it's official) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago 16 hours ago, Spiderpig said: Some good experience if his wiki page is to be believed, im glad we are continuing to source players from outwith the usual pool of failed Scottish talent, his tache ( no not his touch) is a bit suspect though. And, like Elliot Watt, he's part Scottish so a similarly impressive season could see him under consideration for Scotland (if he's willing to switch).

Stuwell2 Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Guy at work says the scum is reporting that we’ve knock back a bid of £1m for Watt. We’ve been hearing that we’ve knocked back bids of £1.7m for him so where do they get their low figure? Can we now expect them and other Scottish media outlets and pundits to be saying that one of the arse cheeks has offered £1.5m and we should take it?

Someone on a fans' fourm reads the tweet and repeats it in post. Journo copy and pastes number from the post in transfer rumours article. Somebody quotes the journo in a tweet. 10 people retweet. Another fan posts details on the tweet in a different forum. Different journo posts number from "multiple sources" And that, is how internet "facts' are created. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuwell2 Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago JWFC, totally agree mate. weeyin, normally I’d agree with you also but even by their lazy/low journalism standards, for them to pick the low figure - one that I’ve not seen mentioned - for a player who is widely regarded to have been one of the best midfielders in the league last season is strange.

Maybe the source likes succulent lamb and his benefactor has a vested interest in keeping the price down! 😍😍😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Not sure what any possible buyers might offer the player in wages. Do they adopt the approach of low ball transfer fee knowing that the salary offer to the player/agent will be enough for them to become unsettled and then he doesn’t want to play for us so we take the low ball offer?
