I wouldn't mind so much losing Baptiste, if it's for £4m+ (remains up in the air, if we trust what they're saying is true) but surely they should have planned for Fosu knowing his release clause was only 750k.
This has been common knowledge for a long long time, and they say we have no time to bring in replacements? Or anyone?! Surely there should be a long list of potential targets to go out and at least test the waters with, with the money we've just been guaranteed.
The majority of deals are completed on deadline day so why can't we get out there and save this promotion bid?
