ParisInAKilt Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 He’d be daft not to move to the EPL if given the chance, especially for the money at this stage of his career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccaughey85 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Just now, Caledonian Craig said: Money isn't everything if it derails his career. From his point of view a big money move would be a no brainer. The guy can't of earned much at livi and Motherwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not but given his age, where he’s played and the opportunity of a few years in England, it’s potentially life changing money and the chance to test yourself at a higher level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For our sake he would be playing in a back three there and maybe in the McTominay role so not a bad thing. For him personally it would be a no brainer.

He's pushing 30, most of his career is behind him. If he can get the opportunity to earn a few million in the English Premier, as above, it's an absolute nae brainer.

Burj_Alba Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 And therein lies the problem. Don't think anybody who posts on this board would knock back salary X 10 ( at least) but at Sheff U they have had an established back 3 for most of their time in the premier league. Gallagher would have to hope for a big loss of form and / or injuries of one of them and take his chance in an instant. Big ask as a player but financially he has to go, but jeopardising his EURO 2020 spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Yes I get the financial conitations. However, at Motherwell he's built respect and confidence in him. He may head south and after a couple of iffy games or injury find himself out of the team and possibly out of the Scotland team as a consequence. Its happened before to our players and even managers too. They have success and build up a reputation at a less fashionable club then heads get turned by a bigger club and move and it all goes tits up.

Burj_Alba Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 If I were him, (as a Scotland fan which I am sure DG is ) I would stay at Motherwell until summer, hopefully cement the Scotland place and leave Motherwell, still on a free, in summer. Who knows, a good EUROS campaign might see bigger clubs come in for him. Think though if the Well know about this they might insist on cashing in in January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a no brainer even if he went down there and never played a game and just picked up 10k a week or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 He has to take the money. Put yourself in his shoes, he’s possbly on £2k a week at Motherwell (total guess)... if an epl club offers yo7 10-15k a week you would sign as soon as you can.

Folk saying it’s not about money... it’s all about money. Sheffield United don't offer large wages. Lundstrom who rangers are after is on 4k a week, fleck was on 8k a week. Outside of their big money signings they don't offer wages over 15/20k. He'd be lucky to get 5-7k a week at Sheffield United, great money and 2-3 times what he gets at Motherwell but he'd get more at Celtic and most championship sides. He'd be better waiting it out to the Euro's and putting himself in a much larger shopping window. It's also worth noting that players joining on bosman deals, can usually demand a large wages due to no transfer fee involved. FYI I'm not complaining about Sheffield uniteds wage structure, it's incredible what they've been able to do on their budget and wage structure.

I dont think he is that good to be honest, he is doing a job for scotland and he is one of Motherwells better players but I think he'd struggle at a higher level on a consistent basis.
