Saw that too. What do they want him to sign though when he's still well within his 8 year contract?

Might have been asked, but is this on tv anywhere?

Tozer is also on the list though.

Lee Ryder in self-denial?

The leader they were missing all along. Gonna win the league this season!

1-1 Bompastor (what a name. )

USA scored the 1st goal.

Tbf Essien's knees are gone and they will more likely than not look for a long-term replacement for him.

End of this season.

Seems like Alan always gets his facts wrong.

Seems like there's one vs Gateshead, 2nd of August. There's 4 actually. http://www.nufc.com/2011-12html/reserves-prem.html

Definitely should get more from this transfer. While he's turd in the Premier League, I think Championship clubs have come to realise he's one of the best players at their level after playing a massive role in getting us and then QPR promoted. Having him can only be a huge boost to reach the promised land where the big money is so something like a 2, 3m layout pales in comparison. What probably hiked up the interest this year is the number of teams chasing promotion this season. Which can only be good for us. 'Worst case senario' for the purchasing club - sell him off to a Championship club after they get promoted. Even if they make a loss, it wouldn't be too big.

Thank you. Chance to join in the revolution and helps to get rid of the eyesore that was.

Guess that finally eliminates the Matuidi link too.

So much for the list of 5 continental strikers we supposedly have.

Yes, they must, they should, they will.

It isn't that unrealistic if you think of it. Celtic must be close to Forster's valuation and it shouldn't take much more for the club to accept the bid. And Forster isn't one of the indispensible/important players tbf. Not that I want him to go but if he does, the club will still have Harper and Krul.

It just means that the offer isn't good enough. High chance Celtic to come back with an improved bid which will eventually be accepted.

Should have French colours since Gervinho isn't signing for us.

In fact Real also inserted the same clause for the first 2 years when Alvaro Negredo transferred to Sevilla.
