LegendofCoop 17,490 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Wow what great negotiating skills we have. Barry ferguson 1 m pedro mendes 1.5 m kevin thomson 2 m kris Boyd freekenny miller 400k Charlie Adam 500k Total 5.4million. Excellent.I may be wrong, but I don't think we got anything like £1.5m for Mendes. Did we agree to pay his wages after he left? Sure we only ended up with around £500k for him!

J_RFC87 762 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 End of the day, Kenny Miller has gone, we move on! Now, please no more ex-tims or feni@ns Miller's replaceable. Jela is the man now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno why people seem to be ignoring this, as if Miller would've signed a new deal with us if we'd rejected the bid or something. He wanted away. He held all the aces.

AGM_72 3,734 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 So we've freed up 400k and 18k per week in wages.Frankly, it could have been worse. The real problem is not tying our players down long term 18 months before their contracts are up. It leaves us with very little to negotiate with when it gets to this stage 1 year or 6 months before their contracts are up.It's 400k more than we would have gotten in 6months time and it was obvious to everyone that we weren't going to agree terms with Miller to sign a new deal. This is as good as it gets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosstheger 7 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 It is a move that suits both parties I think.50k a week to play for the Turkish champions? He'd have been daft to turn that down at 31.For us, I think we are a better team without Miller and Jelavic will bring a buzz back to Ibrox if he can stay injury-free. I'd like Fleck or Weiss in behind Jela, but if we have to sign 1 player, I'd like a 'no.10' striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunslinger 270 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 So is it the people that are running thet club who accepted the bid, or is it the bank? You can't blame both!same thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcb 1,167 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 No its not.Can the club buy,sell or offer contracts to existing players without first consulting with the bank.That should tell you who's calling the shots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markybear 136 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 What could we really expect for someone playing the SPL, 31 years old and in the final 6 months of his contract?He is also one of the top scorers in Europe so far this season 400/500k is a shocking deal IMO Bain needs to sort his shit out, not gd enuf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunslinger 270 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 You're making it sound very black and white. I hope we do consult the banks to make sure we don't overspend and get back into a mess. If the banks were really calling the shots, we would not have spent the money we spent in August. And even if they are calling the shots and did let us spend the money then then, what on earth gives us th right to ask for yet more money? We had a budget and we've spent it. Just like at any other club (bar a few), when you spend your budget you cannot just demand more.we spent less than we sold. big wowee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose_72 198 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 £400k for a 31 year old who could have walked for free in a few months time? Why are people complaining? Players going out of contract rarely go for a lot of money.Hopefully we manage to get in some sort of decent replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jafrfc 614 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Can't say I didn't expect this. Disappointed with the fee but it's better than nothing for someone who is out of contract at the end of the season.He could of signed a pre-contract and stayed till the end of the season. But his head wouldn't be right and you couldn't see him throwing himself into challenges.£400,00 is not a great amount to replace him, but hopefully we are able to.
