Having just seen this, 750k for Fosu doesn’t seem too bad at all. Grosicki an established Championship winger and could do, and has done in the past, a job in the prem. seems astonishingly cheap.
With Hall, Atkinson and Agyei all going out on loan the squad looks very, very threadbare.
Perhaps they thought priority was to help finance right back and striker. If fosu wanted to go didn't he have a get out clause?
Have we played a blinder here re Baptiste? KR basically confirmed he can go to start a bidding war.
Dependswell no not when a fee was agreed, no other club in their right mind is going to offer more are they?
Robinson has continually kept on about the squad not being big enough to really cover injuries or suspensions. The squad loss of Fosu and Baptiste means that the squad is even less able to cover such things. If the full back and forwards are the ones rumoured then both are "for the future" and not immediate replacements. With Hall, Atkinson and Agyei all going out on loan the squad looks very, very threadbare.
The morale of the squad must have taken a hit as well. They were all geared up for a promotion push when two of the better players are off loaded with little sign of direct replacements.
This has not been a well timed move.
Depends
If two clubs come forward there may be a bidding war
Hall has gone out, so Browne and Holland have left us with no extra bodies if Fosu goes. It’s two in and two out on the wings.Liam Kelly and Gorge Thorne for Baptiste.
Marcus Browne and Holland for Fosu.
Very much this. And he's stated he would rather send Agyei out on loan, meaning we're clearly requiring a striker.Hall has gone out, so Browne and Holland have left us with no extra bodies if Fosu goes. It’s two in and two out on the wings.
Thorne was already here in the treatment room so it‘s a little bit of a stretch to say that him signing on until the end of the season is a ‘new’ body over what we’ve had. Kelly replaces Baptiste if he goes, so one in one out.
Cadden hasn’t been replaced, so one out none in currently. Atkinson came in and then went straight back out on loan while the door was still spinning.
At this moment in time the squad is one player smaller than it was on January 1. Hopefully in a few hours it won’t be.
If we get a right back and a striker in, and Agyei goes on loan as a result, then at least in terms of bodies the squad isn’t any smaller than at the start of January and we’re another month closer to players like Henry, Woodburn, Taylor, Forde, Hanson, Thorne etc being available. It looks like two or three of those might already be back now / by next week, so that’s positive. In terms of where we are regarding the like-for-like quality of the ins and outs, we won’t know until we know exactly who comes in if anybody.Very much this.

As we all knew, we're in need of a striker and a right back, let's hope we get them in.
Thorne maybe not a 'new body ' but he can actually play now so like a new signingHall has gone out, so Browne and Holland have left us with no extra bodies if Fosu goes. It’s two in and two out on the wings.

Having read Horsemans multiple posts... I now see a way to achieve what he wants.
A team of multi-million pound crocks!
Can we get Harry Kane on loan whilst he recovers from injury?
I don’t think he’s best pleased as it is even said any more out he’d consider his position.If that was the case I think KR would look for a different job
But do also bare in mind, signings may have already happened but they have not been announced yet. Just thought i'd make that point before the usual questions are asked.any signings made after midday are ineligible to play in tomorrows game
fair point @LeftSideBoyBut do also bare in mind, signings may have already happened but they have not been announced yet. Just thought i'd make that point before the usual questions are asked.
