scoojy Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Scott Burns just tweeted Decent move for @HenriAnier. Also great bit of business by @MotherwellFC getting a substantial 6 figure sum for a player they got for free. edit - what he said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Jules Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Anier was good for us but i'm not too disappointed to see him go if i'm honest. I'm excited to see who McCall brings in as a replacement though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambunctious Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 David Clarkson imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthefringes Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Apparently.............. Scott Burns@ScottBurns751mDecent move for @HenriAnier. Also great bit of business by @MotherwellFC getting a substantial 6 figure sum for a player they got for free. That's how we roll! No need for the club to crow how much they earned - giving those we wish to do business with false impression of any additional funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I wonder just how substantial the fee is, I wouldn't have thought it was more than about 200k at the very most. As for replacements, I'd happily have Kris Boyd. Not sure about Goodwillie and definitely not keen on Clarkson. Suprised Chrissy Porter hasn't been mentioned already...

East Stand Well Boy Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 In my opinion it would be daft to take a winger who scored 11 goals for the season and then play him up front. Surely, all things being equal, it reduces the potential number of goals scored by the team over the season? It's much easier to find a forward who will score 10 goals, than a winger that will score 10 goals from the wide position. It's harder to score goals playing winger than it is to score them playing up top, more chances would come his way which would surely equal more goals, I'm not saying it's the solution, I'm simply saying it is an option.

scoojy Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Fee was slightly less than Ojamaa, according to twitter. A quick google says Ojamaa was sold for around €350,000 (£275k-£300k) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickle Pickle Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 200K plus the 240k extra for finishing 2nd... a trophy and a european run and an increase in season tickets?! Please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCDave Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Just having a look around about Ojamaa's situation, transfermarkt.co.uk seem to reckon he's joining BEITAR JERUSALEM on loan for a year. Edit - Sack that. Jonne Lindblom @JonneLindblom Henrik Ojamaa is not moving to Beitar Jerusalem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I wonder just how substantial the fee is, I wouldn't have thought it was more than about 200k at the very most. That's pretty substantial for us, in the ballpark of what the board said was our expected loss for 2013/14. Would certainly be nice to have effectively wiped that out in one go.

Would certainly be nice to have effectively wiped that out in one go. Absolutely. With the expected loss, to have that wiped out before a ball is kicked is huge for us, you'd think?

CoF Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Just having a look around about Ojamaa's situation, transfermarkt.co.uk seem to reckon he's joining BEITAR JERUSALEM on loan for a year. Edit - Sack that. Jonne Lindblom @JonneLindblom Henrik Ojamaa is not moving to Beitar Jerusalem. Yep, google translate sums it up beautifully - After a year of playing Legion Henrik Ojamaa change club. The representative of Estonia will be on loan for 12 months to Beitar Jerusalem. Israeli club has guaranteed the right of first refusal. 23-year-old went to the Polish before the start of last season with the Scottish Motherwell for 300 thousand. pounds. Ojamaa did not work in the Legion, and got the most opportunities. Taking into account all competitions, occurred in 44 of 51 games and scored just 2 goals. Mostly irritated selfish game. Henning Berg from the beginning of the spring round bravely put on him, but at the end of the season and the Norwegian lost patience with the player. Hence the decision that if you find a club willing to hire a helper, no one will be making his obstacles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoF Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Is there a reason the club won't disclose the fee? Is it a contractual thing or is it because it might slow down the 'were fucked: buy season tickets' campaign? The club are usually transparent about how shoddy our finances look, I'd like to know how this affects things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishielad Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Looks like a shrewd piece of business by the club and our refusal to bandy figures around makes good sense if we're still, as McCall suggests, looking to sign a replacement. Wish him well and look forward to see who Stuart unearths for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'd imagine it's because of the way we got him - Anier will get a slice and I'm sure the director in question will recoup his outlay. I'm almost sure a director was paying him, or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yassin Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Maybe we aren't disclosing the fee so Viking don't find out and demand a cut? Sounds pretty fool proof to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles & Flippers Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Probably because there's a decent sell on fee percentage attached so the cash amount would maybe get a few on here tisk tisking and maybe make their fans think they've bought a dud.

The club are usually transparent about how shoddy our finances look, I'd like to know how this affects things. precisely my first thought! It's is probably that... didn't they do the same with Ojamaa? It used to annoy me to, I personally saw it as... We're a family club, give us your money We're skint, give us your money I could go up Motherwell cross and get the exact same thing Now... I see it for what it is and it is something that has to be done because people jobs depend on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stall Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Dundee United always go with the undisclosed fee route. Their fans have a chug over selling someone for £1.5mill then find out a year later it was close to £450k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Anything in excess of £250k is very good business. Whatever the fee there will be a fair chink of cash spread between Anier, agent, Viking and our Director. Given the quick turnaround, hopefully our Director is willing to facilitate a similar move again. I wouldn't be surprised if Clarkson is offered the chance to train with us if he has nothing lined up but I don't see him being one of McCall's first options.

mio Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Absolutely shocked we managed to punt Anier for a 6 figure sum!! What a deal, well done to whoever sorted that one!! Cant see it being anymore than £100k but for a guy who cost us hee haw 12 months ago and didn't get many starts its incredible. Good luck to him, don't know how good the basement of the 2nd division in Germany is, but it'll probably be a much higher standard than the SPFL.

weeyin Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 You'd have to think his replacement would be more of an Anier type signing (i.e. someone we haven't heard of who can be sold on), but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well_Jaggy Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Absolutely shocked we managed to punt Anier for a 6 figure sum!! What a deal, well done to whoever sorted that one!! That would be the job of the General Manager I would presume. Looks like he is doing a great job in the role so far. Players tied up early, decent fee for a player we got for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
