    To be fair we're not all that much better, we're giving a 3rd choice goalkeeper 80k a week!

    Don’t Bournemouth concede about three goals a game on average.
    I wouldn’t pay £80m for their entire back four

    Apparently Liverpool are about to sign Adrian on a free, so does that mean that Alex stays?

    I'd still prefer Fraser to go as I don't trust his fragile personality when or if he gets thrust into the heat of first team action that is important and competitive. Alex is nearly always reliable and competent.

    So would I but that's not overly realistic it seems and we can't afford to have in excess of 100 grand a week going on our 2nd and 3rd choice keepers.

    We're stuck with Fraser till last year minimum imo.

    I still reckon Fraser will be third choice after the first match that he is called for and looks like a deer in the headlights again.

    The finance department is down to the club, I just want what is best for the first team overall.

    If Fraser sticks around until the end of his contract he will end up being more despised and ridiculed than the infamous Tommy Forecast and Anthony Pulis!

    Let's be honest but who is going to buy Fraser Forster? Out of form, high wages and has been apparently suffering from mental illness issues for the last few years. He'll be here for the remainder of his contract unless we can agree a release payment for him then he is a free agent to move to a team that he can actually play first team football but for a more realist wage

    Agreed, but under no circumstances do I want to see him on the bench for us next season personally, would rather see one of the kids there instead.

    I honestly think that the best solution would be for him to move to another club on whatever wages they wish to pay him and we top his wages up for the duration of his contract here.

    You never know the situation behind closed doors. I think one or two ITK posters have said we want to move him on, but there may be a gentlemen's agreement between him and the club that we'll support him until he's through/more comfortable with his mental health issues.
