Daily Mail article on Maja transfer

[Houghtoner]

The true story behind Maja's move to Bordeaux in Sunderland 'Til I Die

'Why would you want to leave Sunderland Football Club?' To the previously unaware, as soon as that sentence left Stewart Donald's mouth it was obvious how things would end for Josh Maja.

Doesn’t paint the current regime in a good light.

“Why would you want to leave Sunderland Football Club?”

It’s impossible - there’s no such club.

Cue loads of Donald’s arse lickers coming on with “Daily Mail” and the “laughing emoji”.

Tell that to Donald. It’s him saying it.

No Stewart Donald apologista but…

Football agent gets his contact who he feeds shit to day in, day out, on the biggest c**t of a newspaper in the world (or maybe the second biggest) to write a story to make him look less of a c**t.

I thought we were all savvy to this kinda shit now.

Doesn't say anything we didn't already know really. Main error was waiting too long to get it sorted

Before the Coronavirus pandemic brought football to a halt Maja was Bordeaux's joint top scorer this season with eight goals in eight starts and 16 substitute appearances, contributing a goal or assist every 81 minutes.

Sounds like he's starting to make the grade.

What strikes me about the article is the amount of comments below. Sunderland pieces in the national press rarely get more than half a dozen comments.It just shows how Netflix has made us one of the most talked about clubs in the country

Whichever way you look at it, both with the previous regime and present one, it was one almighty cock up.

If that's true, then the clubs is finished with these clowns in charge.

Maja wanted £8k a week and a £3.5m release clause. I could understand us turning that down but we spent £3m on Grigg who is on a reported £6k a week.

Since when has the Daily Heil ever wanted to do anything other than stir the shit with SAFC? I wouldn't trust them if they said grass was green.

If this is true, Donald allows the Maja deal to fail, for the sake of £500 a month (our "final offer" of £7,500 versus their counter offer of £8,000 - possibly less, if there was scope to compromise at £7,750), yet outbids himself on several occasions to get Grigg for a reported £3m - £4m (plus whatever wages he's on, which are presumably at least as high as those offered to Maja), despite advice from Ross & Hill that Grigg wasn't worth more than around £1m - £1.5m (I can't recall the exact figure, but it was of that order). I watched the Maja/Grigg negotiation episode on STID 2. It's difficult to conclude other than that he (Donald) doesn't have a clue. He'd be a dream to negotiate against, if this is indicative of his usual approach. Heart ruling head, the ego must be fed....

5 league goals this season

Only to outdo themselves with Grigg days later.

It'll be interesting to see if Donald takes any legal action against the Mail. Whether or not there's truth in their reporting on the Maja negotiations, Donald's tactics on the Grigg negotiations beggared belief. Incompetent barely scratches the surface.

5 league goals this season

8 goals in 8 starts and only 16 sub appearances isn't a bad return for someone his age. Borini's record probably wasn't any better.

Donald has made mistakes as he admits the grigg transfer was 1 of them, he panicked because we needed a striker. That's why he has stepped back from transfers and brought in David Jones. Wasnt it the mail who had to print a apology to him or was that the sun I get lost off
