It might only be a percentage of what Celtic make over and above the original fee. Expand Knowing Celtic it will be as little as possible. They are good at building in massive add-ons when they are sellers.....Frimpong could net them a fortune just like Van Dijk and others did. However when they are the buyers it's a different matter. I guess that's good practice for them but it is galling that they can dictate terms up here. I hope I am wrong but I'm not holding my breath looking for a fantastic payday. Whereas the Turnbull terms were not revealed, it is public knowledge that Celtic have a 30% add on with Frimpong that could net them around £10m as he looks to be heading to England from Germany for about £50m. Crazy money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yassin Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Wouldn't mind seeing Iain Vigurs back in a senior player/coaching role. Will no doubt know Ketts, Spitts and Pates already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Hearts won’t be involved in the relegation playoff this season. So that scenario won’t play out. Secondly, while I certainly wouldn’t be cheering/applauing/taking any kind of satisfaction in Hearts relegating us with Moult and KvV scoring against us there almost certainly WOULD be some within our support who would, or at the very least would come out with pish like “I’m pleased for Moult/KvV” if they scored against us for the likes of Dundee Utd.

Maybe one part time fan who's someone's brother's sister's aunty's maw who saw Moult score a goal once, but quite literally every other Motherwell FC fan would do nothing of the sort. Relegation would be unbelievably painful, nobody is going to clap it, regardless of who scored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I wouldn’t applaud him if/when he plays/scores against us but if he signs for Rangers then I hope he does well and pockets a league winners medal at the end of his loan spell. Trust me, it happened. Expand I think I may have applauded the Vigurs volley from the corner and I certainly was not the only one. It was a shitfest of a game in which ICT beat us comfortably. The goal was the one moment of quality in an otherwise turgid affair. Sometimes it is just a relief to see a glimmer of decent football break out. I would rather Motherwell had won the game, I would rather the moment of true class came from a Motherwell player but it did not. I don't feel as if I have betrayed my team in any way by admiring a piece of genuine skill. Don't you think it is slightly hypocritical MJC to be chastising others for their less than impeccable support when once again you are using these boards to show a soft spot for the Rangers? I could not care less if KVV pockets a league winners medal with Rangers but each to their own. Maybe I have misunderstood you however . Maybe you would be just as happy for the player, who has been a good servant to us, if he was to pocket a league winners medal with Celtic? Seems like we are just trading vices here anyway. Maybe you should be left to support the football in whichever way you want and you should leave others to enjoy and celebrate the game as they want to enjoy and celebrate it? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Grew Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 Hull City are reportedly ready to let their 21-year old former Brighton left-back James Furlong go out on loan in January with us and several League 1 and League 2 clubs interested.

joewarkfanclub Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 Furlong was great. But we have Gent now, so not sure what he would add. If he cant get a game for Hull though he would be worth pursuing in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbybingo Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 Looks like Furlong hasn't kicked a ball in months, unless it was in the under 21/development side. That's the last thing we need right now, whatever the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That may well be. But we have a deal already in place for Gent. If we get Furlong one of them has to sit on the bench. If we are serious about maximising the bang for our buck going forward, there ar other areas of the team requiring more urgent attention right now.

Expand I wouldnt renew Souare's deal. Seems harsh. But it was a gamble that didnt come off. No point repeating it. Id bring Wilson back from his loan for cover. Boy didnt look far away in the league cup and has had the first half of seaoson out on loan. We need to develop him. He is also young and less likely to break than the other options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I don't know if he is injured or such, but Maguire last played for Kidderminster on the 11th November, if his loan isn't extended then we will be stuck with him for the rest of the season as he will have played games for two clubs this season. McGinley hasn't kicked a ball for Partick so we will be stuck with him also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
