It might not be far off tbf although I think Maja could easily put a stop to it if he wanted to. I just don’t understand why the agent would leak him turning down a 700% pay rise.

very difficult for a player to turn against an agent. I think agent leaking the payrise is a way of showing how cheap his wages will be to a premier league club

4 weeks ago Maja was set for germany, now with this blowing up, would not surprise me it was done with intent of waking up premier clubs.

probably cost about £5 - 8 million in fee and £15,000-20,000 a week in wages. it is a gamble but a smallish gamble
 
I always thought he would move on as its what happens nowadays. Would imagine the most £ available to him would be from abroad as any compensation will be less than if he was to go to a domesticnside at the end of his contract

Im on the fence about trying to sell him now or not, depends for how much and who we could get in to replace him

That's a bit OTT mate.

You watch. Jack Ross will handle this bang on.

I think he'll play him tomorrow.

There's no reason not to, particularly if Maja wants to keep himself in the shop window. But the whole thing is a pig's arse. Essentially, we have a young man who's been offered what his agent asked for but has now been told he can do better. That's a lot of pressure to put on a 20 year old.

Might be perception but for me saying he has rejected a 700% wage rise sounds like he’s rejected an absolute fortune. Opposed to him not being offered much.

Especially if he gets booed all game although I’m only going off twitter so might not be as bad in the ground.

Ah god. That bloke off Netflix is gonna have a whip round for the camera again isn’t he?

Swansea reportedly had a deal for £200k plus extras rejected. Been a few other rumours, but from my reading of the Ayr stuff it seems they would want £400k and up, simply due to the financial boost they would get from promotion.

Saying £500k would get him but have condition back on loan till end of season. Think if we wanted him immediately it would need to be a chink more...maybe £750k?

Did the new owners offer cattermole that contract when we were trying to sort our finances out? It’s not f***ing difficult to understand really. I haven’t suggested I’m happy Cattermole is on so much and it’s been made clear the owners are delighted with it either.

Well unfortunately if you want to hold onto talent you have to offer decent wages - fact of life
If you’d rather the players be on peanuts you deserve to be watching monkeys

Does that still go to tribunal if he goes overseas or do we get nothing? I think we’d get more than a million at a tribunal so would put a £3m price tag on his head. Unless he has a change of heart he can’t play for us again, which is a pisser. Club could have played it differently and he could have played out the season and bagged 30 goals (thus increasing the tribunal fee -if he still wanted to leave)

There is compensation, but it's based on UEFA guidelines, rather than an FA tribunal. Fulham only got £500k when Dembele went to Celtic. Given their comparativer stages of development, we'd probably be looking at substantially less if he moves abroad.
 
What an absolute fucked up situation this is. If you believe the statements, Maja told Ross yesterday he wants to sign, 24 hours later his agent tells sky he wants to leave.

Lad needs to grow a pair and tell his agent to fuck himself, or act like an adult and be honest with the club.

Cannot start tomorrow IMO.

Not necessarily true, look at Wyke, if a club want him they will take him with a knock especially if want him for the future and need to bed him in and blood him in a higher division.

Yes perhaps. But if it's a bad injury , and given his youth and having made no real cash yet the risks are very great for Maja. He will HAVE to look after himself.

Ross has been really positive about their relationship all week, he must be feeling disappointed with this if Maja told him yesterday he was going to sign

Without a doubt. Would love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation. However, good luck to the lad for the future. He has done well so far this season. Everyone of them can be replaced though, so no tears shed here. It's a test for the manager, but have every confidence in him. Might work out better for us; bring in a player that can step up to the Championship without any question marks.

Or you operate your business sensibly to ensure it doesn't run up £200m worth of debt.
