Dan Deacon 55,727 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 JelavicFirstly he said he is a proper gent and a breath of fresh air compared to the majority of people in football. Is in it for the love of the game and money is not as important to him. Also when agents and Jelavic went for dinner together (before he signed for gers) whilst players normally expect the agents to pick up the tab, he insisted on paying. (this is a theme with the majority of croatian players)His transfer was delayed due to the last minute interest from down south. Rangers had the heads up on him and when Everton and Stoke to name 2 caught wind they wanted to see him play. They were hoping to see him for a final time in the last aston villa game that he ended up refusing to play after demanding his move to rangers. Rangers were the only club to have the money on the table. the others hesitant as they had not done enough homework yet. Everton are gutted, completely gutted they lost out after seeing how he has done this season. They are still circling and they are not the only team. Diouf We are paying 20k of his 30k a week deal at blackburn. Celtic and Rangers were both alerted to the availability of Diouf. Its possible that he may return, however there is a lot of interest from europe and the middle east. He's actually quite screwed on in the head and loves the attention and showing off, which is plain to see. Transfer MarketsAs plenty on here have suggested in the past, the European market is the one we need to be in to start making money. France, Croatia, Serbia etc etc plenty of decent talent here and English clubs are too used to buying established players at inflated prices to catch up to it. The German clubs are leading the way in these markets and they way they handle transfers is second to none. None of this last minute shambles and farce we put up with time after time in UK.

Neymarrrr 13 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 We'll struggle to get players from Croatia and Serbia, unless they are full, regular internationals.Unfortunately, this means we will miss out on most players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBear 1 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Great read You're spot on about the European market, we need to spread our resources over to that. There's alot of untapped potential there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
