    You’d be lucky to give Fosu away based on form so I don’t see the benefit of offering him a contract just so we get a fee 
    I'm fairly sure I read somewhere that we ended up paying Reading around £75,000 development fee for Fosu.

    I guess the idiot owner thinks he'll get that sum back by Fosu rejecting any contract offer at Charlton, and signing for another club.

    It could already be that Fosu has a club lined up.




    He did not fit our system or squad. That does not make him a bad player. There are a lot of teams in div1 that he could improve. £75k is not a lot for him, and he may become a better player if he has learnt anything from his time with Bows.

    I would also add that it was a pleasure to watch him last season. Good luck to the guy. Drop the attitude, work hard, and he could still move up the leagues.

    I imagine that RD would not know Fosu if he stood in front of him with a roll of duct (duck) tape. I would think all of these decisions are being made by Bowyer and Gallen, because at the moment it will not cost money, plus saving wages on all players going

    My insider says that ‘there’s a meeting on Friday with RD with a group mainly based in Austria ... not sure if there they’re new or one of the existing groups that have shown interest ...’


    Has anyone seen the activity wall? I appear to have ruffled feathers. My inside information comes from you know where and was posted by you know who. I’ll say no more ...
    Hopefully.

    Considering your name, when you exploded on page 1642 I just assumed Abel Tasman’s sighting of New Zealand was the event you were hoping to be mentioned.
    Didnt twig that it was you making the Civil War hints the previous page!  :)

    If RD is still holding out for £65m on the sale  of real estate, then we have an impasse. Remember that he is a business man with profit is king thinking. The difference between how much the club cost him and £65m ((less expenditure) means that he can hold out. Plus a few more quid for Aribo will mean longer. 

    With have a serious situation here as it’s more than likely to continue under his ownership for sometime. Such a shame. 

    £65 million? He's got more chance of knitting fog than getting that. Oh well, looks like a short stay in the Championship then.
    Of course it will be, the reds are going up, again...PL here we come
  • Small piece of info. Vienna may well be the capital of Austria but it is a business base for individuals and entities from all over, rather like London is. 

    I've done a lot of work in Vienna and businesses there seem no more inclined to pay double what something is worth, than businesses elsewhere. Just sayin....

    What's the source?

    Roland's in Belgium I doubt any of our usual sources will know anything about the sale until the last moments.
  • Isn't there a fans forum this week where LDT gets to spout the same rubbish? 

    We really need to get a bingo card sorted for this to make it enjoyable
