Fosu = Zero transfer fee and upfront cost, aside from a signing on fee and wages etc. Sold 6 months later for nearly a million; despite his poor form.
Honestly, Browne or Fosu? Exactly.
Baptiste = 18 months ago, he was on loan in the Conference South and on a 6 month deal. Signed a 6 month extension when KR joined and despite a severe ACL injury, we sold for 3million upfront at the very least. If he reaches his potential then we are looking at closer to 9/10mil with his add ons. He can go all the way to the top. As we all know...
For example, a £20,000,000 sale in 3 years to someone like West Ham means that Oxford will pocket 6mill and a % of any international involvement that stems from that; within the first 5 years - Assuming those are the conditions etc.
Brentford are known for their development, from an ROI perspective. They also understand that a key part of their signings development, happened before them - They average a 20/30% sell on, as standard. Fact.
Bad business? I'm all ears...
I'm confused by those that see this as a bad move.
Lets use that money to offer Browne, Brannagan, Dickie and Taylor new deals.
