Brazilian Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 exactly a whole lot of ifs and buts, so no firm statement to be made the club might have decided to try and sell on one player if the price is right or as you suggest their might be a wholesale clearout, why would that be? and what would advertising it really bring about, probably reduce offers as other clubs definately know we grasping for cash. The club has been quite professional so far, as such everything is rumour, so if something thats happening doesn't go through there is no egg on the face, players involved should not get labelled whoremeisters as McGhee did for publicly stating his plans Whatever will be, will be, we'll just have to wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Yep it's on SSN now - in the region of £800k they report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Just seen it on sky sports news that £800k deals been agreed. Don't see how teams like Hibs will get £3m for Fletcher when we're only getting that for Clarkson. The Llanelli game is looking trickier as the days go by. Does Fletcher not have a few years to run on his contract? Thats the reason for the difference, albeit the gulf in price shouldn't be quite so wide. I think £800k is very good business.

Ya Bezzer! Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 £800,000 in exchange for a shitty season. No thanks. I see black clouds forming into the phrase 'Motherwell Season 2009/10'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, I do think £800k is good business with his contract running out next year. But if Clarkson had 2 or 3 years to go on his contract do you think we receive £2m-£3m for him? I dont think we'd get near that figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprawell Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hello, I think £800k for a guy who has a year to run on his contract is good business. I am pleased for Clarkson. I think moving somewhere new will develop him better as a player. He had gone as far as he could at Motherwell and all the emotional baggage he had here could not have helped. Thanks for the memories and all the best Clarky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Clarkson had 2 or 3 years to go on his contract do you think we receive £2m-£3m for him? I dont think we'd get near that figure. I think we would get around £1.5 million. But thats fair play to Hibs for backing up long term contracts with a determination to not let them go unless silly money is offered. If it wasn't for the precedent set by the fees of O'Connor, Brown & Whittaker, Hibs would be lucky to get £1.5 million for Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelvinBragg Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 From the BBC website Cardiff and Hearts eye up Quinn Cardiff City and Hearts are hopeful of signing Motherwell's Paul Quinn, while fellow defender Mark Reynolds is also attracting interest from English clubs. Both clubs have made offers for the 23-year-old Quinn but have yet to meet the Fir Park outfit's valuation. However, it is believed that the two suitors are not far away from agreeing a fee for the right-back. Reynolds is also on the radar of clubs in the English Championship, although no firm offer has been made. Unlike Quinn, the 22-year-old has two years left on his contract and previous suitors Rangers have not renewed their interest in the current economic climate. Motherwell appear willing to sell their prize assets despite being a matter of days away from facing Llanelli in their opening Europa League qualifying tie. The Scottish Premier League club are also without a manager after Mark McGhee's departure to Aberdeen. Lawrie Sanchez, Steve Staunton, Jim Gannon and Aidy Boothroyd are on a four-man shortlist. And Motherwell hope to announce their new boss early next week before Thursday's opening fixture of the season in Wales. It is the economic downturn and the loss of television broadcasting funds following the collapse of Setanta that has led Motherwell to consider selling their top players.

If it's not confirmed then almost every other club will be in the same boat, so it will still be a level playing field as we compete for new players.

Motherwell Seagull Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Never mind biting your hand off, I'd fucking eat you alive for £800,000 for a player with a year left on their contract! We got £650,000 for Skippy mind.. Aye - and unlike Skippy, he wont be back at FP scoring goals against us twice a year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that our new man will have an opportunity to build long before the other clubs can start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey_Dosser Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Didn't realise that Quinn still had 2 years left to go. Nothing less than £500k then. Remember we knocked back about £700k for Reynolds. I would prefer to keep him though and make him captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
