Fosu

[Shaun Rice]

Thought he was excellent yesterday. Worked his backside off and was effective at both ends. Very dangerous going forward.
Apart from a Supreme performance by Dickie would’ve been MOTM.

 

[LeftSideBoy]

Quality player at our level. Cant wait to see how this team (with additions) perform when fully back to match fitness! I was also very impressed with Cadden. A quite considerable upgrade on Long (sorry Sam).

 

[frenchconnection]

When that boy is match fit I think he will be unplayable ..... good signing so far ... in fact all good signings so far

Only based on Charlton fans' comments, he can be brilliant but can go missing as well. I expect this of wingers anyway so look forward to seeing what he can do.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Fosu certainly likes his left foot step overs! - hat-trick here - header, left foot and right foot finishes.

I think that was a classic example Saturday excellent 1st half but faded away somewhat 2nd half & wasn’t involved in must, knowing KR with wingers lucky we’ll have options to come of the bench to make an impact

Very impressive

He was looking for KR, so, he was technically lost when KR left Charlton (he hadn't gone missing) ??

 

[OxfordUs20]

Brilliant today

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

He looks a player doesn’t he. Wish we had Whyte in the team still, one on either wing would be devastating!!

 

[Shaun Rice]

Brilliant today

Yeah absolutely class especially first half.
I thought he was good live but after watching the game again on yellow player wow.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

I haven't actually been to either game, but the impression I got from the RadOx commentary was that Fosu faded rather as the game went on in both matches? Is that correct - does it look like he needs some stamina work, or did the opposition teams change tactics to shut him down?

Yeah I think it's fair to say in both games so far he's looked very dangerous for the first half hour or so and then seems to fade away somewhat. I do think that the pressing the front 4 are being asked to do is part of the reason, and I also think Fosu in particular can show signs of being mentally tired.

Once we're a few games into the season I think we'll know if it's a fitness thing or more to with him being 'that type of player', I.e. 90% of wingers at this level.

Either way, I really think he's a good addition to the squad and has undoubtedly made a very good start to the season.

 

[Paulw2506]

Following yesterday's hat trick from Fosu maybe all the fans who complained about the sale of Whyte will realise we have a more than adequate replacement and it was good business by the club.

Doesn't Fosu generally play on the other side of the pitch than Whyte?

 

[oufc1991]

Just imagine how dangerous we would of been with whyte and fosu in the same team

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

Following yesterday's hat trick from Fosu maybe all the fans who complained about the sale of Whyte will realise we have a more than adequate replacement and it was good business by the club.

Given they play on opposite sides I wouldn’t call him a replacement exactly. Both on the same team would be unstoppable

 

[Whingit]

Fosu's ability in attack was evident from the beginning, but recently his work rate defensively has been top class. He's much fitter than when he joined and if he keeps anything like this form up I can see other clubs coming in for him.

 

[Peterdev]

Robinson’s managed him before and seems to get the best out of him. If we can manage To keep him at least until the summer he might well fancy his chances in the championship......with us

 

[FalmouthOx]

Better finisher than Whyte I would say - more Roofe like

 

[bazzer9461]

If come January people enquire about his availability.......what sort of price tag?

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

£3m up front with add-ons taking it to a possible £5m, and 20% sell on clause of any profit

 

[Sarge]

£3m up front with add-ons taking it to a possible £5m, and 20% sell on clause of any profit

start price/ offer , just to open any talks, £5m IMO.... any less than that as an opening gambit, laugh at the derisory offer

 

[Yellow Mustard]

I think it already might be known but I was told that he's a handful- and actually it's going to take a lot for another club/manager to take a punt on him as Karl has been the only one who has been able to control him properly.

So that's just excellent innit

 

[Scotchegg]

For all the doubters about Robinson, he has a fantastic record with bringing the best out of players that don't fit in elsewhere. In the summer, Fosu wanted to work with KR as much as we were looking to bring him in and it would take an absolutely silly offer to get either party to consider a move at this stage.

We are very lucky to have a player like Tariqe here, but also very lucky to have a manager like Robinson to make this all happen.

 

[oxfordfan1]

We'd be silly to allow him to leave and visa versa as I can see us all in the championship together very soon.....up the manor

 

[bazzer9461]

£3m up front with add-ons taking it to a possible £5m, and 20% sell on clause of any profit

And the rest

[MarkG]

Yeah but we said £4m for Sykes and sold for £2m.

ZN has said I think the day to day funding is still down to Tiger which could mean January sales if ST is running short once the season ticket money is spent.

But if we have to sell in January then we can forget going for promotion so a few less supporters as a result less money coming in through the turnstiles, so do the club take a risk and sell in the position we could possibly be in or do we gamble and go for promotion, which should put more bums on seats.
