If he shows up he will score goals for whoever he plays for . I'd be happy enough but can't see it happening if he was going to sign surely it would have been on July 1st play against cork and in Europe league.

Spurs have bid 200k for Bazunu with the deal to go through after his LC according to the Irish Independent. Should be rejected in my opinion.
Bloody right it should be rejected. They'd want to be offering at least double that imo for Rovers to even consider it. Irish clubs have been getting rode for long enough when it comes to transfer fees.
But for all parties concerned i think the best thing is for that lad to play with Rovers and finish school before he goes anywhere.
I've seen online that he's contracted until the end of 2020. It's a pity they haven't him tied down to anything longer to increase the transfer price. If they've known how good he is for the last year or so you'd think they would have offered him a longer deal.
He has 2.5 years left on his contract if the 2020 thing is correct, how long of a contract do you realistically think he would have signed when he was 14 or 15 ?
Rovers have done well to have him on that long a contract imo.
Regards the paper you wouldn't know what to believe there has been no end of speculation over the last month or so.
I'd agree that 200k isn't enough but at the same time what is enough? 400K ? he is a 16 year old that has great potential but any English team of the calibre of Spurs signing him are signing a prospect not a guy they see going into their first team.
At least if he is going over it will be on a decent contract and not to play in one of the academies for €150 a week like most of the 15 and 16 year olds who go over.
His parents have made it clear he's finishing school at least before he goes anywhere so as far as I'm concerned unless there's an absolutely ridiculous offer before then they should all be rejected because his value can only really rise before then.
Aren't shams paying his school fees up to LC ? Great prospect but always a chance he wont develop into the finished article so shams need to make a call to ensure they maximize the money they get for him. While I'm sure the club will be concerned for his personal development that's for his parents to sort out not shams.
Actually isn't that more than likely ? it is a business and if shams got a 'ridiculous offer' (whatever that is) why would they not look to do business ? Not suggesting they would not have the lads best interest in mind but doubt they would turn down a massive amount of money. Its just good business.
