His agent speaks out because he has spectacularly cocked up by trying to bluff DK - unfortunately for Bas's agent (and probably Bas), DK has called his bluff. If I were Bas I would get rid of said agent, do a u-turn quick, and snap up an 18 month contract at a club where he has become a bit of a cult hero with the fans. The alternative is going somewhere new - with doubtful fans who may be a lot more ready to criticise when Bas trips over his feet with the goal at his mercy (as he is bound to do at least once in his first few games).

When put like that though, it DOES sound like we've made him a shit offer

Love this
"Fairness works both ways. Ultimately the final offer was to fill up Bas's car with petrol a couple of times a week. That is not generous either, that is a pat on the head.
Maybe free meals at the Sportsman on a sunday would have sealed the deal??!!
Must say don't like all this dirty laundry in public does not do the clubs image any good

Yes but he has to drive to away matches with three other players just to use the fuel up.

Someones lying here. DK stated Bas' agent told Bas to sign. Bas agent clearly doesn't feel that way, is DK trying to turn fans against Bas because he thinks he's made a mistake or is greedy Bas' agent trying to get the fans back onside?!
If that journey-man clown doesn't want £500 worth of free fuel every month, I'll have it

The Argus said:
Being a Range Rover, that would be something like £120 a week, which equates to £6,000 extra on top of the upped offer. Unless he did not mean it literally...
Say, £120 per week in after tax pay - probably close to £200 pre-tax = £10k pa. Or at least £8k pa. I haven't much idea what the more senior players are on - perhaps £45k - £50k pa? In which case, £8k - £10k a year is a rather significant figure.

Well the only way they can know fans have turned on him is by reading here or the argus comments, so i think that's unlikely.
Personally, i think it more probably that Knight is making Bas out to be the 'bad guy' as to avoid a) admitting that we're skint and have made him a crap offer, and b) get another player off the wage bill completely
But i guess we'll never really know - it's spin from both parties.
that would be something like £120 a week QUOTE]
Thats appx what it costs us per week in a 1.8 diesel at the moment

Well they dont really need proof but by making the comments he did knight knows it will do nothing to enhance bas' popularity. Anyone could predict that what he said would provoke the whole "fat cat" name calling thats gone on. If he's looking to get a player off the wage bill that is VERY bad news because it means theres no replacement on the way!

I disagree - Bas is always running all over the place, and has provided goals recently (Loft vs Cheltenham and Forsters second vs Carlisle off the top of my head).
Forster on the other hand does bugger all running in comparision - completely different players. Forster the scorer and Savage the runner/provider is EXACTLY how i'd describe them

I would say they compliment each other well though, even though forster creates his own goals some of the time bas does take attention away from him and must have created a fair few goals for him (dont know the facts and figures).

I'd bet my left thumbnail that that's more assists than Forster has though.
Doesn't really make a difference who scores, it just proves that he CREATES as well as scores. And you have to take into account he's played a fair bit this season on the right wing
