    No reason why, if he keeps performing well, that we can't punt him on loan again next year to a mid table championship club. See how he does down there at a higher level.

    With MJ doing very well down there for West Brom and no buy option included in the deal, we should/could be demanding far more than we initially would have done. Another 3/4 goals for MJ and a couple of assists and there is no reason why we can't be asking for £3m for him, treble what I thought we would get for him.

    I also wouldn't mind loaning Lawal out to Motherwell, if it meant we could come to some sort of agreement for young Lennon Millar. Especially as he will only have a year left on his contract from the summer. Lawal on loan, plus £2m.

    I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing mate. I'm talking about risk to the team and/or risk to the player's development rather than financial risk.

    I think I said previously I can see the merit to keeping him around to see if he can break through, but at the same time, there's a big gap between Fleetwood and Celtic and he's seemingly coming off the back of a good season. I would try and get him another loan at somewhere that is a step up and see if he can further up his game.

    Celtic are a far higher standard than league one in England. Yes you get the odd one that comes up and does well, but do you think League one is the level we should be looking at signing given our multi millions? That’s going to improve us? Maybe the boy will do well, just saying it’s not a good level. Celtic play in Europe every season, league one players don’t.

    He’s our player, he needed a breakout season at senior level and he’s gotten it at a decent level.

    He can absolutely step up and compete for minutes next season.

    Players from League One make the step up all the time, there’s examples at Celtic, the Championship, PL.

    Celtic might be a higher standard than League One but Lawal won’t be playing against Celtic, he will be playing against a standard on par or lower than League One.

    Although I want us to do good business, give motherwell his worth regardless of his contract situation if we want him from them. We offer anything less than £4/5 mil and he goes elsewhere to Italy/England/Spain etc. as he’ll have many many suitors

    He's hardly worth 4/5 mill. Turnbull was 3mill and he has more games and more goals under his belt.. lawal and summers on loan, 2 mill and a sell on would be more than sufficient

    He does look a bit talent possibly matching the Turnbull offer plus loan him back there for the season and as you say possibly offer another one of our players on loan or if there is someone else they would be keen on taking that isn’t a big earner but unlikely to make it here even if we have to subsidise that.

    He is only 17 still so playing another full season at Motherwell who try to play football would be good for him. If Kelly doesn’t look like getting much time with us he could be a good option to give them and gives us a look at a possibly future midfield pair.

    This was why Ajeti was the popular shout over Ivan Toney. For less money as well. Turns out Toney said no because we didn’t guarantee him a game but the general opinion was Ajeti over him at the time. Which in hindsight, is * stupid and always was. I may have been one of them and got taught a lesson with that opinion:56:

    Football has moved on since then, and the recent success of Doig, hickey and Ferguson in Italy will have upped the value of Scottish styled youngsters across there. Add to that £4/5 mil will be nothing to them.

    but mainly, I actually want us to give the value of players to other Scottish teams. We give out 3-5mil so readily to absolute dross like bernabei and lagerbielke. That £5 mil we would give to Motherwell would help them so much to improve our own league. Inevitably improving our own development with it

    Him and Kwon should be given a fair chance to make the squad next season. I'd move McGregor at CM and keep 2 of Iwata / Kwon / Lawal to share available minutes at DM.

    Bit of power in midfield. Hopefully gets a run in preseason.

    Him and Kwon will get a chance to impress. No doubt.

    Gonna be a shake up in the summer regardless of the title end story.

    Buy Miller. Then send Miller, Lawal and Kelly to Motherwell on loan
    Let the 3 of them have a season together in the SPL. woukd be great for them
    Could be our future e midfield for years

    plus it strengthens Motherwell against our rivals. And they can’t play against us
