Answer to your question, agent.Fosu is perfectly legit because he had a release clause. But why couldn't they hang on to Shandon till the end of the season? Will I get half my kit sponsorship fee back?
What makes you think 4 to 5 million? He has potential, but has not played many first team games (about 30) and has had long inconsistent spells, plus two bad injuries. How many players from our league go for 4 to 5 million? We need to be realistic. 3 million is a good deal, plus the add ons.The fees will be “undisclosed“ as always.
if Shandon goes for £2.25 million, the club have been taken for mugs. His talent is with at least £4-5 million. The add ons will need to be unfuckinbelievable.
Essentially both are happy here but want to test themselves. If they wanted to stay, they wouldn't be leaving as they cannot be forced to leave. Both want to further their careers so they DO want to leave.
Baptiste has aspirations to play for England and he won’t achieve that by staying here.
Too many people been playing Champ manager and FIFA and need to grasp a little reality.

People need to stop and have a think about the window as a whole.
Fosu - nothing we could do once the release clause was met. You cannot moan about the board.
Baptiste - good player, but important for our team? With a fully fit squad he wouldn't start IMHO. He is young and drifts in and out of games. We were best with Gorrin, Branaghan and Henry. We also have Kelly, Hanson, Sykes and Thorne in the middle. The quoted 3 million is good. Not many players from League 1 go for that amount!
We have also signed Brown and Holland. Both will be very good in the second half of the season.
If we can sign a RB and Forward we will have had a very good window.
It sounds more like c.£4m to me, but regardless, selling now could only be justified if it was an absolutely silly high figure.
KR said it will take a few weeks for things to settle down. We have 9 games in the next 4 weeks = season over. That is the price we will pay for letting them go now.
And yes everyone knows Fosu was £750k release clause. DI’d you realise Browne, Holland and Kelly will be leaving at the end of the season?
Disagree entirely, he didn’t sound pissed off at all. Disappointed yes, but not pissed off.which of course was unlikely given the position we are in yeah right..we've been fed bullshit and poor Robbo has had to defend it no wonder he sounds so pissed off
Its being reported that they have both gone for 3m. So baptiste for 2.25m. robbo is saying we recieved more than quoted as a pr exercise imo to try and appease us.
