Dokko Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 First offer refused, textbook. He'll still go. Aye under Ashley when there's an actual bid it's only a matter of time. He only thinks in terms of money. Only if the offer is decent or the player wants away. £5-6m and its going to be impossible to turn down, £4m and it will get the club thinking, as it would almost any club.

Dokko Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Offers get rejected, but there's never an accompanying statement saying why we want to keep a player. Bit depressing that. So we have to respond (publicly) to every bid now? Be a very busy summer releasing statements then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Accept offer and send them Alan Smith I think he is Rangers fan... Even better. Would make them able to piss of Rangers then. Could even throw in McLøven for some extra spice! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Can we not reject the offer and send Smith as way of an apology? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you know when you reject a bid you need to choose an option from "he is an indispensable member of the squad", "he is a key first team player" or "he is a hot prospect for the future".

I'm sure there are tons of offers we get that we never hear about. That would be the case with this one if Lennon wasn't chirping about it. People seem to forget that we're only getting snippets of what's actually happening behind the scenes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Good move by the club. Hopefully it was a footballing decision and not a financial one. We need to see what this lad can do for the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 No way can I see us selling Foster. A young obvious talent that we can develop as a player and in value. No point in getting 1.5M for him now, we could probably get nearly that for Harper and have two decent up and coming keepers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Why would Foster stay here on the bench--2nd, possibly 3rd choice--rather than be first choice at Celtic? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, being #1 at Celtic is going to be a more productive stepping stone to bigger things than the odd cup appearance (if he's lucky) at Newcastle United. Plus more dough.

Dave Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 "I'm not going to go down the road of commenting on other managers' opinions," said Lennon, "but I think Fraser improved as last season wore on. He kept a lot of clean sheets and showed real confidence towards the end of the season. "He was a relative nobody, really, when we signed him on loan. We gave him an opportunity and he improved a hell of a lot. For us to keep that continuity going at the back, it is worth us putting a bid in for him. Fraser has made all the right sounds to us about wanting to stay with Celtic. A bid has gone in. At the minute, Newcastle are saying he is not for sale but we will maybe pursue it again later on."

Baggio Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think he'll come back for pre season where Pardew will get to have a good look at him compared to Krul and Harper and that's when a decision will be made on who is our number one is next season, if it isn't Forster then he'll go.

Dave Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3660670/Norwich-want-Newcastle-keeper-Forster.html NORWICH boss Paul Lambert will bid £2million for Newcastle keeper Fraser Forster. Celtic had a £1.5m offer rejected for Toon's 23-year-old 6ft 7in stopper last week. Forster was named players' player of the year after his loan spell at Carrow Road in 2009-10.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 The sooner we ship harper the better. I don't think that will have any baring on Forster's future tbh. It's what happens with Krul what will though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
