Lennon Miller, stay where you are, develop your skills, your game awareness and experience of playing regular top flight football.
If say, Celtic or Rangers came calling in the summer, get your agent to hatch a deal that loans you back to Motherwell for the whole of next season.
I know it’s a short career and you have to think of your future financially, but any person close to you and advising you must think of your development.
The lessons of Jake Hastie at Motherwell and many other young hopefuls is a stark reminder of what can happen if you move too early.
You are the best player in the team at 17, what will you be like at 18 heading to 19 years of age with seventy games under your belt?
The potential is there, but don’t be fooled by people raving about your early performances.
Settle in and learn how to dominate games and deliver the difference in the big matches for your team.
Yes, it’s a gamble, but I’d hate to see you warming the bench in one half of Glasgow, blue or green or anywhere else for that matter.
I can hear many footballers and agents shouting out, get the move now.
You are better on five or ten thousand a week at a big club than a few hundred at Motherwell.
I can’t offer a financial argument, I can only hope the experience of playing every week and starring for Motherwell will net the Fir Park outfit huge transfer money and deliver the perfect club for you in the future as an older and wiser player at such a young age.
There is no doubt in my mind you have the potential to be a top club player and a future Internationalist.
If there is a move coming up in the future, I hope it’s one that allows all of us to see you playing for your club regularly and giving Steve Clarke another headache in the middle of the park for Scotland.
Until then, enjoy pulling on the claret and amber jersey.
It’s a great club to learn your trade on the way to becoming our next superstar.
