He shouldn’t have been sold, it’s dry simple for me.

Maja masked over the a lot of the deficiencies in Ross’s tactics. His strike conversion rate must have been very high.

I don't get this attitude that because Rangers are in a shite league (which isn't even that shite tbh) we should also have shite players. If that was the case then Neymar wouldn't have signed for PSG. Some times the size of the club outweighs the weekly opponents.

he's never played in front of 50,000 in his life. He's never played in Europe in his life. He's swapping Lee Bowyer for Steven Gerrard. He's potentially looking at proper silverware in the next 12 months. He's joining a club that can include Brian Laudrup, Gio van Bronckhorst, Frank de Boer, Ronald de Boer, Gazza, Terry Butcher etc etc as former players.

How can anyone claim signing for Rangers from league 1 Charlton is a bad move?

Rangers and Celtic are massive, massive clubs.

By the way Charlton kept him till summer to get them promoted n now he’s off

Worked for both parties

Yet we couldn’t find this with Maja?

Exactly, and we still would have got a compensation fee for him due to his age. If someone scores 16 goals from 30 chances by Christmas, you surely don't cash in. Just tell him to fire us to promotion and then leave for even bigger wages on a free!

Another in a long line of ridiculous football decisions in the last 5 years
 
Can't believe people are worried because players are going elsewhere, what's new. We end up signing the dregs these day's, same as the last couple of season's. Don't think some realise how far we have fell.

He's also said in a recent podcast he could have done more (or words to that affect-Cant remember exactly). I thought that was as close as we'd get to him admitting he fucked it up.

He didn't say that. He questioned whether he could have done more, but then repeated what he'd said initially about Maja and his agent and the contract scenario. it was more a hindsight thing where you look back and question every action a bit deeper than some sort of admission he got it wrong.

I don't think he did all things considered. we went out and spent 3m at this level on a striker to replace him with. we invested the initial fee for Maja and more, so rather than lose him for next to nothing we got a fee of 1.5m rising to 3m. for a club at this level that's massive especially given the basket case we were and how we'd continued to lose money on players.

what we got wrong as always was recruitment.

He did like, can't believe anyone seriously still defending the decision to sell him, so short-sighted, like most of all our football decisions over the last 5 years

your comments are the short sighted ones. you're advocated losing Maja for ten times less than we could receive in the hope he got us up. everything you're saying revolves around Maja making the difference in us being promoted or not and we weren't even in a automatic promotion place when he left. there wete absolutely no guarantees to keeping him and factually he played 7 more games scoring once and then got injured.


The only guarantee was that we'd need to replace him now and would have to find the fee.

as I said previously recruitment as always let us down.

No its really not, taking money without thinking how it would impact the team, so short sighted

I can't seriously believe anyone is peddling this nonsense, it was clearly the wrong decision, sell your best player at a key moment in the season

Just trying to get as much money in while they were here.

Don't be so stubborn man.

Why didn't Charlton sell then?

Not everything is about money you know, the objective is to win football matches

Aye but he was asked if there was anything he would have done differently over the whole season iirc and that's the situation he chose. Could have been anyone of a number of things but that's the one he identified.

I don't think he ever imagined either Grigg would end up costing that much, or we would end up being as desperate as we were in the last hours of the window either.

they didnt take the money in the sense they didnt get any money..
were they wrong to sell? probably..
..but it depdnds in whether the player would have played-didnt he clear his locker and fuck off before a deal was agreed? that means he withdrew his labour-no use then.
as fpr charlton-they definitely have a short sighted owner-they ssold their best striker in january too btw..thats a fact. only they didnt spend a penny on a replacement because the owner wants out. so your analagy doesnt quite work.
