Nicky Forster

could do a job?

 

[sten_super]

Nope. That would be, IMO, an even bigger turnaround than Calderon. Would rather we invested in a younger guy who will be around for a few years.

Like Holroyd and Davies?

 

[kingstn seagull]

I'll take him back

 

[bhaexpress]

I would be happy to have him around, the guy will always score goals at this level.

Well I wouldn't want us to give Forster 2 years, which is what I suspect that he'd asked for. Of course it is reliant on us getting someone of equal (or better) quality in to replace him (of which neither Holroyd or Davies are at the moment). I suppose it depends upon what the fallback position is. If the question is 'Would you rather have a) Murray and Holroyd or b) Murray, Holroyd and Forster?' then the answer is obviously b).

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Give it time. I am confident we will see at least one quality striker joining.

Forster was great for us - but Gus is the boss.

 

[questier]

He won't be coming back. Forster burnt all his bridges with Poyet, at least with Calderon he turned down a bigger contract to sign the initial deal he was offered. Plus Calderon was one of Poyets signings.

Thanks but no thanks

Unfortunately the cleaning role at Withdean has already gone

Never say never could do a job for a year but very very very much doubt Poyet would want him back after the toys out the pram incident and would Forster want to come back?

 

[Silent Bob]

I'd have him back in a flash. No chance though. One of the problems to begin with was that Poyet wasn't going to keep him.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

A highly experienced striker that will chip in with goals aplenty, yes.

Nicky Forster fits that bill, but does he get on with our manager? Perhaps not.

 

[hillbilly]

Why start a thread of a player (all be it former) who clearly will not be signing for us?

The whole Forster thing was badly handled. He went to Gus in January to try and clarify his position and was happy to sign a one year deal and stay on as a coach as he stated in the Argus.

Obviously Gus didn't like this and the rest is history. However if it where a choice between Dickinson, Davies and Holroyd I would choose Forster. I think you need 4 strikers at a club that can all play at the specified level so to have Murray, Forster and sign Barness and our 10 MILLION, 25 goal striker would be excellent.

I would personally love to have our top scorer for the past 3 seasons back at our club. We said he was past it when he came here but every year he proves us wrong. Class act at this level. Sign him up.

This, Forster may be old but he guarantees goals, unlike these "up and coming youngsters" who we seem to go through like water.

Did you consider that Calderon would be back?

Fact is Forster should never have gone in the first place and the situation was badly managed and I very much doubt that the issue was a 2 year contract instead of 1 anyway.

The other fact is that we have yet to sign a better striker. Maybe we will by the start of the season and maybe we won't. The fact Poyet did a U-turn with Calderon should mean anything is possible with regard to Forster. Common sense should prevail but I suspect with characters like Poyet and Forster that is unlikely.
