Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

"mutual compensation"
Quote

We can confirm that Dom Thomas has completed his move to Dunfermline Athletic after a mutual compensation agreement was reached.

"sizable sell-on clause"

Quote

With his contract due to expire at the end of the current campaign, and with regular first-team football looking unlikely, the club has allowed the player to move to Rugby Park, but has protected its interests with a sizable sell-on clause.

With regard to the coverage... has there been any hint of what's happening with Motherwell TV when the games start up again?  I've just forked out for another month's coverage, but maybe I'd be better off putting that money towards a season ticket (that'll barely get any other form of use, as I'm in Eng-er-land and unlikely to travel)

Bloody hell.  We've actually made money on our transfer of Dom Thomas to Killie...  got to admit, didn't see that ever coming.  

What do you think, £1k out of a £10k deal?

As it stands I think this is the strongest squad we’ve had for years, and we’ve got it done early.

What could possibly go wrong....

In all seriousness I am quietly confident at least of top 6 but I do worry when we as a fan base get all excited. It rarely ends well. 

Would be refreshing if we start the season on fire - go a few rounds in the Europa and replicate last season in the league with decent cup runs. Not asking for much...

Similar to what I said about O’Hara being a wise long-term purchase in light of the fact that not all of Turnbull, Polworth, Campbell and Donnelly will be here for very long, I imagine a move for Lang would be similar. Much more expensive than O’Hara you’d have to say but still, a relatively similar scenario. All of Long, Watt, Hylton, MacIver and Seedorf are out of contract at the end of the season, with Hastie going back to Rangers from his loan then too. (Providing he isn’t recalled in January.) That means that while the forward area looks promising on paper just now, there’s not a lot of long-term planning with it realistically. Lang is someone who would come straight in to the first team and you’d hope would be on a much longer contract than those here currently and would therefore allow us to either plan ahead on a more long-term basis, or cash in with another good deal if he has a really positive first season.

Yes the squad is looking pretty full currently, but you’d also love to see someone like Lang come in as it’s also just a bit exciting seeing us (supposedly) attempt to make a signing of this ilk. It’d also be great to try and hear the announcer rattle off a front line of Lang, Long, Watt, White...

Could it be that the mutual arrangement is between the player and the club and that Dunfermline paid nothing, so we get our cut of that, £0?
