Richie P Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Well exactly, what are Well doing that we are not? They're not only getting great service from these guys but they're selling them on for great money eg Moult signed from Wrexham, sold for £500k, Kipre signed from Leicester u23s, sold for £1M, Marvin Johnston signed from Kidderminster, sold for £750k and a further 300K when he moved to Boro, Heneghan signed from Chester sold for £450k...that's only going back two seasons. I Know Motherwell have a guy working with them that works on re habilitation and getting guys fit with chronic injuries. I think part of their strategy is picking up good players who are considered a crock and get this guy working on them. When Moult was signed he had a chronic injury (pelvic or hamstring) I’m told he couldn’t shoot from the edge of the box due to this injury until this guy started working on him. I suppose sometimes you need to think outside the box rather than going with the old tried and trusted method. Also this guy worked on Steven Whittaker when he moved to Hibs from Norwich. P.s. don’t know if all the players mentioned were all crocks before signing on at Motherwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gig at any third tier club in England is far more preferable and financially advantageous to anything we could offer I'm afraid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
