The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Strong rumour. Apparently they have made a 50k bid. (which i'd like us to reject!)

I hope we tell them to go f*** themselves if they insult us by offering such a pathetically paltry amount for the Kenyan King. Quadruple it, then it would be worth considering, although I hope to god that if Osano does leave us he goes anywhere other than that vile excuse for a football club (apart from the Wobbl£r$ or Ploppies, but he wouldn't want to play for a team who are actually worse than us)!

I can't see any team paying more than £75,000-£100,000 for a BSP defender, I'm afraid.

Hopefully we'll get nothing because he'll be staying with us.

I think we'd have to think seriously about 50k if there are clauses involved. Like ID said no-one will pay more than 75-100k for a BSP defender. I still think MK should up the bid though to around the 80k mark.

£50k? Are they taking the piss?! I'd want at least £80k for the King plus a 30% sell on fee. We can get more for him, much more.

I'm not so sure a sell on fee, would be that good an idea, if he went mk dons, he wouldn't go higher and then a drop down would mean we make no money, i think we should hold onto these players for now, if we get to the end of the season and we're not in the playoffs, then we should tell the likes of tommo and osano your free to talk to whoever, but at this moment, they should focus on getting us up, we have the squad thats capable of going up, why tear it apart for 50 grand (that sort of money is pathetic) when we're at the stage of the season that could really make or break....i hope we see no one leave this january as the money will do sweet fa right imo.

Isn't Osano's contract up at the end of the season? If so, it may present a problem.

Yeah Im pretty sure it is.

I think as a Rushden fan 50k seems disappointing but how many other conference defenders have gone for that sort of money lately. I'd be disappointed to see him go but i think he will if this is true and i wish him all the best

I think we are getting a bit of heart ruling the head, 50k is decent money for someone we signed for free and was about the figure Peterborough paid for exodus from K*ttering, if as has been mentioned his contract is up at the end of the year I think we should take it.

Well this is all very worrying, could potentially be a very destructive transfer window for us.
