I think Maja was very underhand in this all. There is that interview, think its a clip from till I die, where he is asked about the interest in him and he tries to say he has no idea about it but you can tell there is more to it.
Donald said a lot at the time which with his record we can take with a pinch of salt but didn't Jack Ross say he told him he was signing the new contract offer?
I can't blame Maja going for more money, I don't even blame Donald and Co that we got in tot the situation we were with him. In hindsight he should have been offered a years extension on slight increase as soon as he was in the first team as he probably would have been happy just to get a contract and be playing. Once he attracted suitors we had no chance and he was already nearly put of contract when Donald and Co arrived. I wonder if his career would have developed any better if he stayed? How would he do in the current team?
