Sifu Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 BBCchrismclaug Chris McLaughlin by MsiDouglas I understand #Celtic have made a bid of around 1.5m to Newcastle for Fraser Forster. Peanuts. No way we should sell him for that. screw that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The problem for us is that we've allowed him a taste of the big time with Celtic. I'm sure we'd prefer to have him and Krul fight it out for the first team shirt and move Harper on instead but neither keeper will want to be on the bench next season.

Baggio Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Even with age catching up with Harper I still don't think you can keep Krul and Forster happy, both want to play and won't be content with doing what Harper did when Given was here. Realistically I'd say £2 million would be about right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Not sure how much we can expect for a keeper who at the end of the day hasn't been deemed good enough to play for England Under 21s or ourselves, and has only really played for Norwich & Celtic. If we forget the fact he's ours and were looking from the outside, you'd not expect Forster to command much more than £1.5m to £2m. I'd expect us to have some sort of sell-on fee included anyway.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The only way we'd ever use that buyback clause is if Krul left. I really can't see Forster being bowled over at the prospect of us coming back to him cap in hand in 2-3 years time asking for him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'll be disappointed if we sell like. You don't win a league & a cup on the bounce and keep clean sheets in over half your games if you're not a decent keeper whoever you play for. Fits everyone of our supposed new categories too (young, cheap/homegrown, low wages) but as we eventually sell everyone who someone makes a bid for these days I can't see him staying.

Yeah but surely we can't keep both? If he was an outfield player it'd be different but I think Krul's pretty much got the gig here now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 From what I've seen and heard, Forster is probably better than Krul at the moment. Krul's a good shot stopper, but he doesn't half make some silly mistakes like. Forster has more experience too. Either way, I'd be happy to see Krul or Forster as our first choice next season.

He's on low wages and hasn't agitated for a move and the competition between him and Krul can only be a good thing. If he's so unhappy he'll hand in a transfer request. No reason why we can't keep both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 If Forster's happy to sit on the bench or fight for a position where he'll start 2nd or 3rd choice then brill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Ranger for £1m, Forster for £1.5m.......are they trying to balance out the Carroll money? 2 young English talents possibly gone for £2.5m, that is ludicrous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Excellent move that for Brum if they get Routledge in. I think they'll do well next season. They're going to lose some players naturally but they should get some decent funds in and I can easily see them coming straight back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
