20 percent sell on, of the 1 mil "punt" could be good. If he does at all well at championship level that could net a 1 mil if he goes for 5 mil or down the line, which is not inconceivable.

Let's all hope for the best price and it's good if rumour true there's more interested parties.

No problem mate. Sorry for my tone also. I got higher economics. Know demand supply. It's good there's more clubs in for him and no one knows exactly who is out there but watching documentary like Sunderland one shows championship throwing money at players. Suppose we all want the best price

That's such a flawed statement in so many ways. Bair was running riot against Rangers and made Thier expensive forwards look poor. I take it you know more than St Pauli and Sunderland. And the likeness to Shaw. Lol We got a new comedian Grizzly. 😂😂

So pessimistic. Don't be patronising! I know how a market works thanks. Just think by current market he's worth 3 mil. Much lesser players going for less.

No chance taking 1 mil. May as well let contract run out. He's a special player. We should value our assets higher. Don't underestimate assets.

3mil up at least. Player that scores in top league. Has pace. Has composure. Athletic. Still young.

I liked Butcher. I also thought McGinn done ok. I think giving O'Donnell the position he has has been difficult for him and he has more of the ball than central defenders. It's a role for player with pace and we should be and probably are looking at England's top league or tier lower reserve prospects.

We had 4th worse defence in spl. Clearly defence and keeper primary problem. O Donnel is not up to spl standard. He did have 4 assists however and has contributed. Only 1 less than Gent. Nearer end of season he was getting less game time. I'm very surprised he got contract. Also I would never offer Mugabe a deal. Slow and error prone. Hope he don't take offer and goes to st mirren. We did well in attack. Most teams had difficulty period. Kelly's not even in top 10 for clean sheets.

We need leaders at back like Hartley and Alfred.

Totally agree. Turns 360 then fires trademark pass into nowhere anytime I've seen him. It really showed difference when Devine played and the once I seen Montgomery. Showing how to be effective in that role.

I can only assume there is coaching component to O'Donnell's role. He can coach the young defenders to turn 360 then fire a pass into oblivion. 🤔

Maybe you seen him more than me. I did see him as nuisance and seen him score good free kick against Killie. Suppose Im still undecided.

What you describe is very basic business model that you described. And yes a business must break even but the model can still be altered by more investment advertising and creative accounts/ agreements with higher sides for players. Change is needed if Motherwell are to reach next level.

I personally think we need investment also. Considered but also showing some ambition.

If he recovers from injury it's not bad business. Think there were room for him or Spittal but not bothered. He's good pedigree, playing at youth England level and winning Toulon tourney

Also kettlewell didn't pay him much. Suppose Nicholson has experience and also scored a cracking goal. If When Halliday Sam and Mcgin run out, we can play the dad's army theme!

Think Nicholson any better than Mckinstray? Who is younger too and on a free

Maybe if our investment comes through we will be able to afford better quality too. So best not rushing in.

Great chance to progress. Also not travelling too far . Patrick toughest but both teams should be different on the day.

Is the draw live on the beeb?

How about Airdrie. Montrose. Stennhousemuur and Bonny rig Rose. That's a belter for football and away days.

fancy ayr accies spartans and bonnyrig. have ayr and accies supporting friends. Will add to ties.

If people are happy with 9th and no cup run. Whatever makes you happy. Yes we are all entitled to opinion. Some that have been to 91 final maybe have higher expectations. Some happy to stay up every year. I always hope for top 6 and possible euro place and possible cup run. The rest don't seem to be too much ahead of us though Aberdeen and Hibs will improve, So top 6 chances slimmer. Think Dundee over achieved and huge part of Thier form down to the Liverpool loan. We were unlucky in that regard with Biereth. Still think Loan market let's us get higher standard of player. Roll on next season.

Costly shit too as Hibs drew. A win could have bought a players salary
