We tried to extend his loan when he went to Aberdeen, I believe he was quoted as saying shortly before this:

 

"If I do return to Scotland, it will be to Motherwell"

 

i doubt blackman had any say in where he ended up. it would be down to who could pay the most and the fact that brown and knox had links to blackburn.

 

also there is no way sandaza is on £13,000 a week.

What McCall said

"I spoke to James on Friday and we had a good football chat, it was open," the boss said.

 

"Since then James has spoken to people who are a lot higher than I am at Motherwell who deal with the purse strings and I don't think the outcome was favourable.

 

"He was back in training today but I don't think the money side of it quite added up."

How do you know that though? My guess is that he will have a few teams interested in him down south, and it'll only be a couple of weeks until he has a Championship side.

 

What ever the reason, its looking like "yeh I'll train with yous but am too good to play for yous" he needs to make a decision soon before the Faddy bashing starts. I'm a bit upset that he couldn't do a turn from the team who have been doing him a turn since the start of pre season.

 

*this is not Faddy bashing*:P

he surely would have had a club by now, therefore my guess is they want to see him play and that aint happening just now, so back to square one, unless someone takes a chance on him. Plenty of English clubs with money to spare, he will end up in Championship, which is a shame for us, but hey ho lets move on . .

What decision has he to make soon? As far as he's concerned, he's training with us. If we offer him something, he'll either accept or reject it. It's hardly as though he's been in the media talking about how he might sign for us.

I imagine the most we could ever consider offering would be circa £2k per week. For someone who was on 10 times that - it is a hell of a climb down. Sure he has no club at the moment, but I reckon he could get £5k+ per week down south and will wait to see if that transpires.

 

He will turn out for us again one day, but sadly it will be when his best days are behind him :cry:

 

 

PS - I hope he is paying for his "free" player meals at lunchtime after training ;)

my guess is the clubs contract wouldn't be acceptable because they would have wanted to tie him down to long or would agree to a release-clause or something

 

 

Or maybe because they wouldn't have been able to get anywhere near to matching his demands in terms of salary, appearance/win/goal bonus and so on....

My guess is that he is being offered at least double whatever we can elsewhere.
