Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised to see him go for significantly more in his next move.

Absolutely hilarious that we had him last season like.

Will be a good pub story for Charlie Dunn in years to come,  telling folk he was the most expensive player he ever maimed.

Someone on here summed it up perfectly when they said they were convinced he was sent to us by accident. A player that was very clearly far to good for us from the minute we got him.

So weird seeing players with a mop of hair when you've been so used to them with a bic hairdo.

Mika, Curtis Main, Henrik Ojamaa, Scott Brown

It also appears 1 Bireth = 1 Motherwell Football Club, are Graz paying it up too?

Mika has future add ons so he is actually worth more than the club once he scores a few goals

They're paying it up £300k a year but Arsenal have to contribute that each year as well .

Guess the thing with Austria is that it's the perfect place to get swallowed into the "Red Bull" system which seems to bring big money.

I hear that SG apparently started off saying "He could get injured tomorrow, and so is essentially worthless" Also, they accept he has footballing knowledge in his brain, however "since that will never be sold, it is also essentially worth nothing"

It just shows how much we developed Mika. Mon Arsenal get the next one sent up.

You think wee could brass neck a development fee ? Clearly shows we are the place for young talent to go. So just under 20% of SG's double winning starting XI strolled in directly from FP?!

[crazylegsjoe_mfc]

As much as I joke about #numberpolis and the OCD in me would like to see our best players take the starting XI numbers, you really can't read into it these days.

Last season we announced Lamie, Maguire, Obika and Efford in 4, 6, 9 and 11 and they started 3 league games between them.

Lennon Miller is probably doing that thing where he wants 38 to be his number wherever he goes.

[camer0n_mcd]

I mean, I've never particularly been bothered about numbers, but having holding midfielders wearing the numbers 11 and 7 is where I draw the line. Kettlewell oot.

Once again evidence of club employees being briefed against the WS today. Well in my mind at least. Replied to a FB post from a part time matchday jobber giving it the "leave it to the professionals" argument this morning, backed up by former security chief Alan Marshall later, and another of the security team who I reckon I've seen backing up Bob Park at matches. Maybe best they don't raise their heads above the parapet to speak out against the owners methinks. Who's for a cull if it goes our way?

As much as I would like traditional number positions I've grown to not be too bothered who wears what number.  What does make my p1ss boil tho is a team being announced/listed in numerical order .

The WS needs 2 (at least new faces) may I suggest you run on that manifesto. You can discuss with the stadium announcer face to face.

[Vietnam91]

In light of a public vote brewing and a purchaser wishing to pay £1.95m or thereabouts with £1.65m on an interest free mortgage arrangement I really do hope the club board have asked him to provide evidence of funds and affordability.

If I went into my local Halifax and looked to get any mortgage I'd be asked to produce evidence of what I have in savings and in my current account, copies of my last years full statements, credit check and 3-12 months of wage slips. It would then all be plugged into an affordability calculator with my personal overheads (phone, utilities, insurances, council tax, etc.).

However, if we're at a place where this hasn't been demonstrated while looking to actively transfer control to a £7m turnover business when any one of us would have higher hurdles to jump through for a payday loan then the list of flaws with this continue to grow.

I mean I could sell up everything I own and post the £300k down payment and then spend the next 12 months scrambling to make the next one, especially if that initial payment is all that's been asked to be demonstrated with nothing beyond.

Add in the guarantee to allow for continued operation of the club, secured at present by the WS's reserves has not been seemingly discussed at board level if those funds were eroded to zero. This is all stuff that has to be addressed by those putting the prospectus forward because without it an informed decision cannot be made.
