Don't get me wrong mate I'm really confident when I see Maja get in and around the box but for me he hasn't got the pace over a few yards like Phillips had. Yeah, it's the way he controls it and his quick feet, the way he shifts it so quickly between his feet is skilful as fuck and great to watch.
Watching him for the first time in the flesh yesterday that lad is clearly very talented. His little flicks and so forth to other team mates make him a lost more than just a goal scorer.
I know. But the point is, the club is trying to ensure they have the time to secure a replacement, should Maja leave
He's improving parts of his game all the time to my eyes. His hold up play, his passing, even dropping back and trying to win back possession. Yet I still ended up arguing with someone in the pub after the game yesterday who didn't rate him.
These people who don't rate him, I know a few, will be the same people who moan like fuck when the goals dry up after he's gone.
IF the agent was not, and it appears he wasn’t, responding to the club and refusing to negotiate the deadline makes perfect sense and as it seems to of flushed him out appears to of worked
Exactly this, his all round play is improving rapidly. He will never be able to hold off a centre half in the way Wyke did yesterday and he is still far from finished, but he is progressing.
Exactly this. Understandably our fans are looking it from our perspective and think there is no better club for Maja. His agent is doing exactly the right thing in looking out for him. He is probably waiting to see if a big club like Spurs, Everton or Chelsea come in for him. If not, there is no reason why he cannot sign for us in the summer, if we are willing to pay the same as other top championship clubs (assuming we are promoted). I get the argument that it is not very professional going to Sky with what's happening but he could argue that it wasn't professional of the club to make their demands/deadline public. People need to chill out and wait and see what happens. If Maja thinks he's better off at another club so be it, he owes us absolutely nothing as, had he not broken into the first team this year, he could have been without a club in the summer the way SAFC had left it. I really hope he stays and the fact that he told JR he would, says to me it is still not out of the question.
Long while since I was 19/20 so I find it hard to remember wether I would of as u put it stood up to a professional/ financial adviser I’d appointed, I doubt I would of done instead i think I’d of taken and acted on his advice, I doubt Maja is different to most 20 year olds in this respect
He wasn’t alone if I remember correctly Dennis law (I think it was him) went out there at same time, both came back within 12 months
One of the benifits of being an old git is that I got to see Greaves play in the flesh, there haven’t been many better than him and I’m talking world wide
But that also works for a 19/20 year old having a conversation with in his eyes the most senior person at the club with regard to his conversation with Ross. It would be very hard for such a young boy to say to Ross I want away
