Brian Laudrup 25 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Thomas Kind Bendiksen has rejected a contract offer from Rangers and agreed to sign for Tromso in his native Norway.The 22-year-old has agreed a three-year deal with the Norwegian side and has targeted a first team place with the Tippeligaen runners-up.Kind Bendiksen had been with Rangers since 2007 but suffered a serious knee injury shortly after his arrival from Harstad IL. Though he scored in a friendly against Hamburg in November the midfielder found his opportunities limited and opted not to renew his contract at Ibrox."I had a very good contract offer from Rangers but I refused it,” Kind Bendiksen said.“Tromsø IL is a good club and it ambitions to be even better.“I aim to play my way to a permanent place in the team and look forward to an exciting season, both at home and not least in the Europa League.”Rangers manager Ally McCoist had earlier resigned himself to losing the player.http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/rangers/292212-thomas-kind-bendiksen-agrees-tromso-move/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 912 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 of course he is.... You have been an unbelievable whine lately...cheer up... This is more a factual thing.We don't have a particularly fantastic record of bringing through youth players, certainly not in the middle of the park where Bendiksen plays.I think he was overhyped because of one good performance and I don't think it's a big loss but for the lad himself he'd be better off elsewhere.

robertkay 39 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Whether McCoist should have been playing him or not, it's nice to see he appreciates the salary, coaching and facilities we gave him while injured for a lengthy period of time. I would't like to see us turn into a club that ditches players when injured, but maybe a bit more ruthlessness is needed when young players constantly use us.
