Here’s hoping it’s not a Dundee’esque performance from us. COYW

So basically Roberts in for Watt

If I recall correctly I think we took care of Cook pretty well at Fir Park so much so that he got subbed. Always thought he looked dangerous, at least against us, so was happy to see him subbed.

I’m fine with the club making a decision either way. They went this route and it may or may not turn out to be the best choice, we will just have to wait till end of season and see. Regardless, I won’t criticize them if Watt turns out to be a goal machine at utd but I’m hoping not.

I would not have let him go for that. But then we don’t know if that’s true or not.

Won’t be an easy game but a good chance to increase the gap between us and Hibs and possibly Aberdeen since they are playing rangers. COYW!!!

Hoping celtic score a few against Hibs today. I know we have to take care of our own business but I’ll take any help we can get.

Or even if he doesn’t go!

I think that’s a good signing.

Good point on the loan comparisons to Tony Watt as it kind of puts him in the same situation now, with the exception that he could play against Utd. I’d rather see him stay here till end of season unless Utd hand over a wad of cash. You don’t let the top scorer in the league go for buttons and I don’t see Utd stumping up enough cash to make it worthwhile for us. I think Utd have purposely created this situation hoping that we will throw our arms up in the air and let him go now for a bargain price, hence getting him half season earlier than they would have. Keep him here.

Good problem to have plus when Lamie is fit again, he was also guilty of playing very well. Lots of competition for places at the back.

I think we will trounce them.

Tie the fee to their finishing position. They are 7 th now. For each place above that they pay 80k cash at end of season. With a 100k minimum to be paid up front. Should they finish 2 places higher they owe us 60k. Should they end up 7th or lower. We keep the 100k and they don’t owe anything.

Oh dear!

Devante Cole scoring a very good goal for Barnsley.

Yep. Seems like a nice guy. So as you say hope he does very well as long as Utd don’t. All seems pretty quiet regarding Watt at the moment. Maybe it’s pure and simple pre contract and so it’s done but remains to be seen.

Lol. Thanks. Never quite sure on here.

Is this official and done? 2 separate transactions? Utd coughing up some decent money?

I don’t think that we should be making an example of him, unless that is what benefits MFC the most but I certainly don’t think we should be letting him go to Utd in January unless they stump up a wad of cash and a decent amount of it.

…. And many a dead horse has been flogged over the years

Happy New year to one and all

I read it as he wants to be making as much as he can at a place where he will be happy. So sounds like he wants to stay in Scotland. For me that would explain him taking the offer now rather than waiting till end of season. If Utd beat our best offer by quite a bit then he jumped at it.

I think I’d be phrasing it as a decent transfer fee to cover the following 1. loosing our top scorer 2. Direct rival boosting their squad 3. possible effect on final league placing 4. we now need to find a suitable replacement so for me United fork out decent money to buy him now for what he is worth. Or he stays here. Even if he doesn’t play another game, it benefits us in that he has not played for United. I’m more than happy to see him play if he gives it 100%

I’m surviving almost 2 years of the pandemic but not sure if I’ll make it through the 3 week winter break with no football

Was a very good header
