Well I for one think 600K a year plus bonuses for a not yet fully proven 22 year old who is constantly injured or ill, playing in the SPL for a club struggling to compete on its budget, is highly generous. I think I'd have offerred him 10 grand a week

 

He should look at his peers, Brown and Thomson, who are on 1500 a week and would jump at the chance to sign for Rangers on 12 grand a week.

 

I also doubt Letizi, Clement, Papac, Svensson, Sionko or Sebo are on more than that and Ponroy and Stanger are probably on a tiny fraction.

 

Vignal was offered 9k, take it or leave it.

 

He has to remember that the money for his wages comes out the fans pockets and I for one have no sympathy for a guy who's been offered a contract that will earn him more in 3 weeks than I do in a year. It's a fair offer and turning it down is a great slap in the face to the fans as well as the club who stood by him while he spent years on the sidelines due to illness and injury.

 

At a time when we're crying out for loyal players, he is displaying a distinct lack of it.

 

There's holding out for a good deal and pure greed and this smacks of the latter.

 

I agree, IMO it's a great offer and if he is holding out for more then he should be shown the door.While he's a great prospect he hasn't done enough to justify anything more than he is being offered
