I would IMAGINE (ahem) That Nicky Forster MIGHT have stated that unless he gets a two year contract in the summer he is off.
This has been translated by a bored Sky operator/journo as 'Nicky Forster slaps in Brighton transfer request'
This does not mean he is leaving the Albion before the end of the season as I stated before he is under contract and I very very much doubt the club will terminate a la Livermore Mcleod. It does mean that Nicky MIGHT be a little bit pissed off though. But he is of course a consummate professional.

So you think he spoke to Sky Sports direct then or they have lifted it - but from where?
Just maybe SSN have got it wrong? It certainly doesn't make any sense.
If its true, then so what. He cant be transferred anywhere now in anycase. So he will keep playing with us, still scoring goals to a) make Poyet give him a deal or b)put himself in the shop windown during the close season. So whatever, it makes no difference to the Albion for this season.
If during the summer he goes, so what. Yes a good player, but he is 38. If we really want to go places then we surely need to start attracting players who are a lot younger and who are currently good i.e the Ricky Lamberts of this world. I'd offer him a year at wages approaching the average of the squad (that takes him to nearly 39). If he can find something better, then I wish him well.
Btw, I think its rubbish anyway.

I think it's just to speed up the contract talks.......hand it on after the transfer window, sees a new/younger striker move in (maybe see's him as a threat). Maybe he wants a concrete offer on the table before we decide the our new boy is just the ticket and we don't need Nicky any more, at least that way we would have to pay his new contract out rather than let him go on his own accord to no where.
It just makes sense from Nicky's point of view after all he's main priority would be his family now and not he's career.

Do you mean AS as in AS if?

Anybody remember this from earlier in the year:
http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/argusgeneralsportsnews/4828615.Forster_wants_new_deal/[/URL]
Seems he has given the club notice that he wants a new contract and we just haven't acted on it. You can't blame him when he has a family to support and at the moment wont have a job after May.
I don't know why we wouldnt be offering our top goal scorer a new contract especially when he talks about being at the club after he has finished playing.
Worrying thing is, the article says there are NINE players out of contract in the summer. Anybody know who else that is??
I really hope we don't lose him, I don't think he'll struggle to find another club tho....

Eh? Letting go our top scorer in the last 3 years in favour of Adam El-Abd is a good idea? No it's not. at all. I'd rather have Forster for another year (maybe 2) than I would El-Abd for another 10. Back up utility players are easy to find. Natural goal scorers are not.
