palmer1 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) If we where to stay up this season at the rate he is going Jose Baxter is likley to hit 20 goals plus, a 20 plus goalscorer and talent we would have under contract for 2 more years. in todays climate with the talent that Jose has and with that goal record we could be looking at a million pound player (we would obviously get less going off history) That money would be very handy and probaly cover us for a season -I dont think we would struggle for interested parties as he does seem to making a name for himself, especially if people notice his talent in the Liverpool giant killing we have to cash in on one of our players sooner or later, rather than taking a chance to see how well we do in the league running down the contract of a player and letting go for peanuts or worse, nothing I am so sick of players leaving us for nothing because they are out of contract or we took their word, I am very happy he has signed for us but in the long run I would say we should sell while he is a major asset. so would you sell? would you wait another year? would you just keep going hoping for a push for promotion and maybe extending the deal?

laticdickovarmy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Depends on the price and how if at all we are able to invest the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 You mean there are people that don't think he's leaving at the end of the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliggi Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 personally we should be looking for a cash injection this summer, its desperately needed. im living in hope the reason he signed is he has been told major investment will happen in summer, we will build a team around him and go for promotion. if it doesnt succeed then he can go next summer. but it wont happen and he will go as we all know already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshOWTB Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 He wouldn't sign that contract without a 'bigger team' release clause, or at least a reasonable buy-out fee. He will leave at the end of the season - but god on him signing a 2 1/2 year contract so we can get some money for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stargazer Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 He won't be sold until season ticket holders have paid their dosh me thinks ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossrocks Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I don't think we'll have much choice to be honest, I can't see the release clause in his contract being any where near £1m, even if he's worth that much. Wouldn't be surprised if its as low as £250k (or worse). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I don't think we'll have much choice to be honest, I can't see the release clause in his contract being any where near £1m, even if he's worth that much. Wouldn't be surprised if its as low as £250k (or worse). I totally agree. Can't see him having signed a deal as long as two and a half years without a fairly modest realise clause.

leeslover Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 We would get compo if he left at the end of 2 1/2 years wouldn't we? Which would be a lot of money if he scores 30 goals in each of the next two seasons. However, I join with those who will not die of shock if he leaves in the summer.

lancy lad Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I totally agree. Can't see him having signed a deal as long as two and a half years without a fairly modest realise clause. Not sure myself, I think we may have given him the basic wage he was looking for (to ensure he signs) and then a sizeable percentage of any incoming fee paid for him??? That way we are both winners. We are all assuming but that's my thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way we are both winners. We are all assuming but that's my thought! Not sure he'd have agreed to that as we would control fully when he could move on. We're all pally pally now but what if down the line we refused to entertain an offer from a bigger club? He could have a huge % of any fee but if we don't sell him, that's worthless. I'd be stunned if there's no release clause/buy-out clause in there. You're right though, we're all assuming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 You mean there are people that don't think he's leaving at the end of the season? I actually thought he might leave this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
