Chaplow released - Forren sold back to Molde

Like someone else said earlier, the lad just didn't seem to fit in with the squad. We don't know the reasons, but he always looked unhappy & somewhat alone. Hope the move helps him, but I also trust that we got some of our investment back.

 

500k lose apparently plus the wage per week.

 

I think you're probably correct in some respects. However, he did say he had a good 6 months at Saints, but perhaps that is covering over the odd crack. Never mind the speculation, he's gone back to Molde, presumably to resume a promising career.

 

That's not a bad hit. We move on.

 

My brother says he has some pics smashed out of his face in a cab last saturday. Was the team back at training then?

 

First day back was 4th July, so if that Saturday is the 6th then yeah they were.

 

Maybe why Forren was sold then? He shared a cab with a guy my brother knows and Forren gave the guy the money for the cab fare.

 

Someone on Twitter earlier said he had serious drinking problems, I dunno how true it is cause anyone could make that up but maybe there's some truth behind it?

 

Was he hanging out with Claus?

Was it Claus who first recommended Forren to Saints..?

 

Wanted a new drinking buddy then?

 

Simon Peach has found out that Molde paid us £1.75m for Vegard Forren. In January we paid £3.5m for him.

 

That's one hell of a drinking bill.

 

We won't have paid all the money up front, so we won't have lost £1.75m.

 

Thought the same, did hear it was a 500k loss.

 

Meh. I suppose we look a bit silly but it's been relatively low profile and he's no Ali Dia. Most clubs have a few dodgy transfers and at least we've cut our losses. Bebe springs to mind as a much worse signing.

 

How do we look silly getting rid of a guy that maybe has a problem?

 

We don't look silly getting rid of him. I said that was a good thing.

I'd say we DO look a bit silly for agreeing to spend what at the time was our… 4th? 5th? highest ever transfer fee on a player who wasn't good enough to make a single appearance. Most clubs have a few dodgy transfers though. Man Utd look a bit silly for paying £8m (or whatever it was) for Bebe.

 

I'm not sure we can say he *clearly* has a problem Beefy. Could easily just be that he's not up to the job.
