Maja

Not open for further replies.

Can’t get too vexed at Maja.

He’s a young lad with no genuine ties to Sunderland. He’s done a great job for the club this season and in so doing has got himself a dream move. Massive increase in salary (presumably) and a chance to experience a new culture in a beautiful city.

It’s difficult for Sunderland supporters to see past the emotion of the club but to most players it’s a job.

That offer wasn't there when he said he'd sign here.

Obvious as fuck that he's led us on and stabbed us in the back.

I don’t think he’s a snake, just poorly advised.

Good luck to him though, I’m sure we’ll get over it.

6 months ago nobody would have batted an eyelid if Maja was being moved on with his contract coming to an end.
Very disappointing the way it has been played out on social media but there is no point in vilifying someone for trying to better themselves.

Yep, once the deadline was set that was it. We've been made to look daft by the naivety of the new owners. Just got to forget about it now though and find a replacement.

We offered him what he wanted in the first place, so that argument is just shite.


I doubt he had this option from the point at which we offered him the contract he said he wanted.

So he lied to us, and told his agent to hawk him around, even though he said he'd sign here.

If Bordeaux came in at the end of the season, after he signed here, some fans would be upset, but they would have wished him well.

Its the snake like way he's gone about it, and leaving us up shit creek halfway through the season, that has fans pissed off

It’s called looking after your own interests... Sounds like his agent has done a pretty good job for his client.

Football is business - agents and players will tell lies or half truths, change their minds etc. The lads contract is running out, there are loads of options on the table, new ones come along. They will of course look to say the right thing to all interested parties and keep them all on side while they explore/ consider all options.

If the lad had a long term contract then I’d understand the ‘ethical or moral compass’ argument - however in this situation he needs to sort out a contract and has taken his time and simply pushed for the best deal he could get. Good luck to the lad.

...but sell on clause be damned, I hope the kid ends up an utter f***ing failure.

Personally i hope he's the next Messi and is signed by someone else for approximately £100 million in the near future. Providing we have a sell on clause.

I don’t listen , as a rule I’m normally watching anyway , but I’ve met Barnsey a few times over the years and he’s fine and good craic , not keen on his mate though , he’s either a bit reserved or rude , I haven’t made me mind up yet.

Oh grow up man ffs.

They got a hell of a deal like, deal of the century for a club our size, debt free and on the cheap, with loads of players that can be sold for money, don't buy a club if you can't afford to do it, the way you go on about them is nauseating.

Give it a year man, most of these people on here will be wanting them, when it goes pear shaped. Owners are totally out of their depth.

People on here will show how weak they are by insulting you, instead of engaging in constructive conversation. I am still waiting for a response on how these owners are going to take our great club forward.

I’d need a week or three to discuss it with my family. Mam, Dad (and others) I can stay where I’m happy for a little bit more money but my agent (who looks after my best interests) has said he could get me a move to a top German team where all the other best young English players are plying their trade. Ok son, go where your agent has advised.

The agent looks after the players best interests? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: They’re just the definition of altruism eh?

Look at the conduct of Henderson and pickford when we sold them. It was done properly, and we wished them well.

Its the way he's gone about it, simple as that
