Bates wanted £7.5k a week we offered £2.5k now the Jim Traynor show is on the road under the alias of Gary Ralston. We won't bow to his wage demands. How much are we paying Pedro's numpies? . We lost a good young Scottish player but don't worry we will sign some foreigner on £15k we no heart and no tackling ability.

7.5k is a lot of cash for someone that probably would sit on our bench next season if we get the right players in

There is no way he’s getting anywhere near £7k / wk in Germany. Isle of Mull is right, fake news story created by Trainor, how much will it cost to replace the boy, and some still believe a £12m bid was turned down for Morelos

oh the Morelos bid is up to 12m now - - must be inflation :-) or a Seville calculator in play!

@IoM - can you honestly say hand on heart that Bates was worth £7.5k a week? He was still developing and had a lot still to learn.
Good luck to the boy, it’s his choice to move on. There’s better players than him have left.

Bill if you can believe a story in the record that he wanted £7.5k per/ wk, then I can use the story there was a £12m bid.
I personally think the young boy has been hung out to dry, whilst rangers come out very unprofessional and telling a newspaper the wage demands, very amateurish, spiteful, and childish

Don't really understand what the fuss is over bates. He really wasn't that good. We've got mccrorie. There's 4 better defender's in Scotland. McKenna, john souttar, the other souttar up at ross county and the boy caulker at Dundee. Strange time for it to be announced, bit like dodgy Dave's announcement. Weird timing

UJ more to the point do you think the following are worth £7.5k a week because they are certain on that amount and more
Fabio Cardross
Lee Hodson
Bruno Alves
Jordan Rossiter
Eduardo Herrera.
Get these guys off the wage bill and Bates £7.5k a week would be a shoe in. Young Scottish, fast, hard tackling, can read the game / danger we'll worth the money if the above get that and some get so much more k
