Gazza_8 233 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Remember when we were pursuing this guy when he played for Rapid? We as fans were celebrating when he spat the dummy and wouldn't play for them again. I've a feeling we'll now see that again but this time, it'll be us on the receiving end. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigy1881 79 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 He has missed training for the 2nd day running as well. Is he "injured"? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,747 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 We'll probably hear about this during the press conference. I don't think he wants to be a rebel now, since his dream move to a big London club or Liverpool is not on the agenda just yet. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,747 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 AMcC - Jelavic is not available for tomorrow suffering from a sickness that has also affected several other younger players. AMcC - There has been no futher bids for Jelavic and he is hopeful that the Croatian will still be a #RFC player as the window closes. AMcC - He comments that he is sensible enough to know that in football circumstances can change. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Remember when we were pursuing this guy when he played for Rapid?

Just thought I'd shamelessly whore/quote my blog : Another slight gamble was arguably his attitude; in order to force through this move, Jelavic refused to play for Wien against Villa in the Europa League. His club owner Rudolph Edlinger was not happy about this, and publicly castigated the Croat for this action "For a player of this quality to leave the club through the back door without a dignified farewell is something I do not like. Coach Peter Pacult is just as concerned as I am. This is a slap in the face to thousands of fans." But the transfer, as mentioned, went through, and the bitter end to his time in Austria was soon forgotten. http://ibroxnoise.blogspot.com/2012/01/is-jelly-seton-leaving.html 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I find it hard to know what players want these day, but their attitude tells me it's just loads and loads of money. The Tevez debacle would say that that is not even enough these days. They certainly appear to have far too much power, and they use it badly IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 seems to me that players are getting very Diva-ish!!! The media hypes them up to almost god-like status, which the players eventually start to believe themselves. They earn an absolute shed load of cash for doing VERY little compared to your average Joe punter. IMHO, Sandaza is a perfect example. Rangers are a massive step up from St Johnstone (even with all our current issues), yet he feels he deserves better, and will be a man in demand come the end of the season.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedan 93 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 For me Jela is being the perfect professional. Who's to say he Isnt ill? He was quoted the other day as saying he'll wait to.see what happens with offers and If nothing comes in that the club want,then he's with a great club anyway. He isn't saying he won't play for us. He's still top goal scorer in the SPL so we are quite entitled to hold out for what we value him at. Personally I think we should get £10mill for him regardless if people on here think he's worth that or not. For too long now the English market is so overpriced and why shouldn't we take advantage of that if we can.bout time I say. 18m for Henderson,35m for caroll,50m for torres,10m Connor wickham(who?) These are just examples of either overpriced players or 'potential' great players signed at a price. For years now,we have undervalued our players,fair play to us for holding out for what we want,no matter where the money we get will go. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 In the past 7 seasons we've sold Boumsong to Newcastle for £8m, Hutton to Spurs for £9m and Cuellar to Villa for £7.8m. None of these players proved to be worth the money, when it comes to SPL players anything more than £7m for Jelavic is a big gamble by West Ham. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think Villa fans would argue about Cuellar - he did pretty well after initially struggling to get in their team. Hutton was just never rated by 'Arry, and it was after all Ramos who signed him. Boumsong was abysmal for Newcastle, seems to have sorted himself out though. However, blatant successes have included Petrov and Ferguson. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
