Not because of yesterday but I’d sign Watt (reasonable wages of course) he’s not injury prone, experienced, can actually control a ball and pass, decent level, just needs kept in line for fitness and attitude. As good as or better than a lot of the signings we’ve made the past couple of years. 

Agree

I agree. In the right set up he could be an asset. I don't think he would demand a fortune in wages. Once he got riled up by Holt yesterday he really showed what he can contribute. Perhaps along with the rest make a point of handing him a nice wee fitness programme and diet sheet over the summer though.

That said, no matter which attackers we end up with I hope we don't isolate a single striker and hope for miracles. On that basis I'm looking forward so seeing what a fit and supported Ap Stam can do with a decent run in the team.

re Watt - much would depend on our style of play.  As part of a front 3 or sitting just behind the strikers he's an asset. 

The issue for me is

1) He's had all season to prove himself and show what he has.  There's only been glimpses. 
2) The formations we've often played haven't suited him.  This could continue to be an issue. 

To retain him for me we'd have to get rid of of several other contracted forward players and play more than 1 up front.  

That being said he's the other loanee forward I'd consider retaining.

When he plays well he's a real asset. The problem is we only see it once in a blue moon. For me, that was probably his best game since he returned from utd.

I agree with you for the most part. However, there's been no lack of effort from him all season and his patchy form is probably more due to him not getting many minutes, formations leaving him isolated and teammates not being on the same wavelength. I'd be open to the idea of him staying with us if he fits into our budget.

That only highlights just how bad our forwards are rather than watt doing anything that's worth keeping him.

Watt seems to fit Wimmer's style pretty well.

Whether he can be arsed to play like that every week, however, is the question.

I think most people will agree he’s a good player, I think he seems a decent enough guy as well albeit an absolute moon man.

as mentioned tho it all depends on how we play him. If you Stick him up front himself you’d be as well with me up there.

On Lennon, I do not believe his value will be influenced either way by his recent displays for us or by any awards he might receive.

The sort of clubs that can afford the fee we will be asking for tend to look deeper than the surface. How he performs for a struggling Motherwell side, or whether he picks up an award in Scotland, will not concern them in the slightest.

Their interest will be driven by data and detailed analysis. They will be far more focused on whether he has the potential to progress with better facilities, different coaching, and stronger players around him. Those elements are likely to have a far greater impact on his valuation than anything else.

I certainly fit the signing criteria, ageing badly, immobile with bad knees. I’m a shoe in to get signed.
