It seems most likely to me that he doesn't have a specific club lind up but assumes, after another half season of goals, Maja will have lots of offers to choose from.

It makes sense from the agent perspective. It's just frustrating for us as we have found a gem and want him to stay. We should have tied this up 18 months ago.

I don't think it was obvious back then that he could score 15+ goals in L1 when he's surrounded by strong 6ft+ CB's. He has proved he can, well done to him.

Him and Ass..oro were both offered new contracts before a ball was even kicked this season. Maja stayed and performed excellently whilst still seemingly having NO intention of signing a new deal. That much is clear, but I thought he was off months ago anyway. Could see it coming a mile off given his form. How is Ass doing? Them two playing upfront for us could have been great fun to watch.

Pair of kids being manipulated by *****...I look forward to the Roker Report interview with him in his 30s saying "My biggest regret was leaving Sunderland"

So how do you explain him telling Ross he wants to sign and then the agent calling Sky to say he won't?

Seems clear to me that left to his own devices he'd sign but the agent is putting pressure on a young kid because he feels he can make more money for himself later.

Wouldn't be the first player to make a bad decision because an agent told him to.

He is 20 year old. If he was going to sign as suggested he would have. He hasn't. It's his decision. The agent doesn't make it for him

If he knew he was off why did he see Ross yesterday to say he was signing? Its his agent playing games to get his payout.

There is no logic in keeping him IF we can get good money for him now IF he refuses to sign

This, i still think he'll sign.
 
paws said:
The sensible thing to do is sell him if he doesn't want to sign a contract, we can then use the money to help get 1 or 2 replacements in, JR has said if he is still at the club he will play him if he continues to play well, but all too often when a player has made his mind up their enthusiasm goes out of the window, thanks for the goals Josh but if you ain't signing then we'll see what we can get for you ;)

They're trying to bring down the wage bill to bring it in line with what they promised the EFL.

If we lose Maja his wages are a nothing part of that. I hope that we don't need to also offload Cattermole & Oviedo before making a significant purchase

Yep selling him now would mean swapping a bang in form striker on course for scoring 30 with us in a familiar set up for one we hope will score at the same rate. One we hope has a good attitude. One we hope fits in with the squad. One we hope settles. There’s not a particularly big pool of players to choose from and we will spend any money received for Maja on his replacement, that if we still achieve promotion will still need replacing anyway.

Massive needless gamble when we already have someone scoring for fun.

On the same theme though, you are presuming a young lad will put all this fiasco behind him, not let his form or confidence suffer at all. Enjoy the full support of his team mates, enjoy the full backing of supporters, give 100%, not give a toss about picking up an injury prior to his ‘big summer move’. The hope that the dressing room will not be split, and other players will not take the piss out of the club in similar future negotiations. Or we can say thanks for everything Josh, cash in and buy an experienced striker who wants to be here. The latter sounds more preferable to me.

Wyke cost far less than that I'm sure.

Sure it was a million in the end. They kept rejecting bids for him. Donald offered about 400k to start with and went on the RR podcast to say he’s offered what he thinks is a very good bid. Got rejected. Then the next one did but we had already missed out on about 4 strikers so think we just lumped all in.

But but you said that you were much more bothered about the pr side to this than the footballing side, now you are saying that the footballing side is the only thing that matters.

I'm so confused, it's almost like you are just being negative where it suits your narrative.
 
Nelson! said:
Give over. You defended Short to the hilt and we're completely wrong....now you're looking for any reason to criticize the new lot and have been since they got here.

This username is as bad as your last one.

You are so f***ing immature like its embarrassing

Have an ignore

You sound like a mag, total messiah complex.

You don't have the best interests in the club at heart and never have done, not sure how you can call yourself a fan.

Rough ride from me.pay me money allowed to shout.he can fcuk right off as far as im concerned.

If your hope is that he will stay, given that the owner says he's going to try and change his mind, how much do you think shouting abuse at him is going to help?

Get behind the kid while he's in red and white. Not sure what good getting on his back will do other than make you feel better.
