sbcmfc Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I think there would be anarchy towards our clubs board if that had been accepted, He's worth around a million beyond that offer at least. I reckon the clubs got to be looking at around £1.25m at the very least, on his day I don't think there's much better offensive players in the country. I agree, on his day he's one of the best or at least most dangerous players in the league. He's started the season with a consistency that he hadn't show before. He probably is, or could be the difference between top 6 or a relegation battle. I do have a slight concern that should we hold onto him, his form might dip in September, October and November and maybe pick up again in December/January.

CrosshillWell Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Sounds like a very different dressing room from this time last year. Hopefully with another 90 mins under their belts, Skippy and Hammell will be that bit sharper at the lack of soap stadium.

Welldaft Mk1 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Glad Oxford have seen fit to stop wasting everyone's time. If the £300k is true - it shows the lack of respect for Scottish football. You can argue all day over Marvs true worth, but what I am sure we are all agreed on - is if he was performing like he is for us for Oxford they would probably get £2m. It is a farce and I am glad the club are standing firm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi-1991 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 The problem we have is that we are always going to be a stepping stone to these kinds of players. When his contract runs out Marv is going to get much better offers than we can afford and he is going to leave. His value to us will decrease with every passing transfer window as teams down south know they can out do us with contract offers. What we need to ballance out is if having him makes that much of an impact on our league placing and wither the financial difference of league placing is worth the risk of keeping him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in this case is that he's got 2 years left on his deal. Previously we'd let deals run out then get smoked when we offered a contract for pennies compared to lower leagues in England. I'm happy we're playing hardball. I'd rather see him stay and help us finish up the league than leave for pittance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Calderwood watched Johnson? Who allowed him into Fir Park? No one as far as I can see. The article says he was at the Stranraer game and that "scouts" have watched "almost" every Motherwell game thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The African Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Calderwood watched Johnson? Who allowed him into Fir Park? I seriously hope that the club would consider the "Calderwood" factor when doing business with any club employing him. He is a proven c*** of the highest order and we should just tell him to f*** off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Still say bidding starts at 1 million it's bad enough Sky Sports shafting us every season by giving all their money to the English without the teams that get it shafting us as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 What is annoying me is McGhee talking constantly about it in the press. It just attracts more attention to the matter.

AndyRoss Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 It's the first question he's asked on a weekly basis now. Also get the impression there's a Herald & Times journalist who seems very keen to get Marv in the paper every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 What is annoying me is McGhee talking constantly about it in the press. It just attracts more attention to the matter. As long as w can get a great deal and also add in a sell-on clause McGhee has 3 parts to his job (which he talked about when he took over). Avoid relegation. Bring through young players. Sell on players for a profit. He's doing a good job talking up Marvin - something we have been poor at in recent times. Whether he goes this window, next window or next summer, it's a good strategy. Marvin was part of the plan Les put in place to pay a small fee for players we can sell on for a larger one. The fact we could knock back 300k suggests it's working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just has to be for the right price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
