They are loving him. One of the comments says ‘he's going to make us a lot of money’. I sighed when I read that.

I was speaking to a Stoke City fan last month while abroad, he said fans think a good keeper, but a bit suspect on gathering the ball, when crosses pumped in or from corners.

This performance reminded me of when we won 1-0 a couple of seasons ago,coincidentally at Stoke,where once again he was outstanding.

The biggest contractual cock up in the history of RUFC. Could have set us up for years. The lost funds on Ajayi, Ogbene are nothing compared to this.

West Brom thought they had the bargain of the season when they signed Semi. Now Stoke fans are saying the same. There's a pattern, and its not a good one.

LS, please tell us how you make someone sign when his Agent has told him not to and walk away and make lots more money?

So you’d have told Viktor no and let him walk for free? Genius.

I'm saying we let this this losing out on big money for our assets happen way too often. Seemingly more often than other clubs.

Its not how that particular situation was handled, its how the situation was allowed to occur in the first place. Again.

To quote the much used phrase. This wouldn't have happened at Peterboro. And yes you can say where has it got them, they are still in L1, but many many times do you see lower league clubs sell their stars for big money and try and build with the proceeds, rather than us who:
i) let their stars run down their contracts and leave for nothing and then moan they haven't got any money and can't afford to buy decent players; or
ii) give them away cheap and justify it with we would have got nothing in 6 months time or they were free so selling for 100k is a good profit when any other club woudl have sold them for 3m
iii) sell cheap even when a year or more left of their contract and think getting 1m is wonderful when any other club would have sold them for 3 times that and the buying club fans think they have bargain of the season and sells them for much more a year later.

Or to put it another way, compared to that, how often have we sold someone and thought wow, we've diddled someone there they are nowhere near worth that much. We've ripped them off.
