Motherwell FC can today confirm that it has received an official transfer request from Marvin Johnson.

The club has been in dialogue with Marvin and his representatives over the last few weeks; today’s official request changes nothing.

Motherwell FC is a club who looks to identify, develop and then trade talent on; it’s a key part of our business model and the vision we sell to players when they come here to play.

However, we will not be cajoled or maneuvered to a point where we are forced to sell a player against our will for less than an appropriate value.

We owe it to our players, management, staff, shareholders and, most importantly, our supporters to ensure we get a fair price.

We are determined to continue the Motherwell FC tradition of developing players and proudly watch them flourish at the highest level, but that will only happen if we receive what we deem to be a sensible offer, based on all the relevant factors.

Only then will we sell Marvin, or any other contracted player for that matter

Somebody has been whispering in his ear - again.

[Sheffield Harrier]

Who?

I'd be surprised if he stayed in Scotland.

[ograzebrook]

Thatsounds like he is as good as sold, but they just want more money.

I wonder what our sell on clause is. This could be the deal that makes flash a legend if it's true that he got the clause added after he'd left.

[Sheffield Harrier]

Sell on is 10%.

Football is a mucky business at times:

My days, that agent of his has a lot to answer for. Quids in for us though I suppose!

What price have they put on him then?

[stockley2]

Seven figures

[S2RKK]

Seven figures

Is he that good, mind you when you look at some transfer fees being paid!!!

[Medieval]

Probably last 2 figures being in the pence column.

Though have seen somewhere a figure of £500k quoted, can`t remember if it was asking price or turned down price.

Not much longer to wait.

Motherwell want £1m for him,
happy if he moves for £750k ,.now thats 75k for us and 30% of that goes towards the playing budget, so enough to bring in a L2 player to boost the squad

[Sheffield Harrier]

Definitely joining Oxford.

[ograzebrook]

Wonder how much?

Surely we'll make at least £50k

You really think Oxford would pay £500k ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,??

My guess is the player has ''organised'' a move down south and the fee will be a compromise (add ons etc.) as no other club put in an offer.

My guess for what it's worth - £100k total - MAX
