Still only rumors that they are going in. But if they are, and yes it's bad news for them and midland football, but could this mean we could get foster on a reduced permanent deal?

Foster, Dann and Jerome 1.5 million

Jeremy is on his way to the fire sale as we speak!

Throw in ridgewell for good measure. And it's a deal.

All honesty now. This and deal for ridgewell might start picking up very fast if this information is true regarding blues!

Interesting to see big sams comments on SSN.

Got a gut feeling this deal will be confirmed by midday tommorow. On a permanent contract too. You heard it here first

.

My only worry would be if Arsenal see this an opportunity to get a good goalkeeper on the cheap now.

I don't think this will be an issue. Foster had said himself if I recall that he is settles here and wants to stay in the area. Arsenal have better keepers than foster IMO so I don't think this will be an issue.

That's good then. But which goalkeeper is better than Foster at Arsenal?

If they go into admin, so much for the loan deal mentioned of them buying him back if they get promoted. It will be near impossible with a points deduction. Hopefully we can tie a perm or loan to perm this week.

IMHO fabianski. Alumnia (if he's still there)

Just saw SSN again and he seemed quite sure we've landed foster.

Don't rate either of them at all. Think Szczesny has fantastic potential though.

Big Sam was asked who placed a bid for green and he said us
Was then asked are negotiating continuing following the rejection and he said no because we have already signed foster.

Yeung’s court case begins on August 11 but acting-chairman Pannu fronted up to Mirror Sport to explain City’s predicament in a candid interview from Hong Kong, where he is trying to find solutions.

He warned: “Upon my return I may have to make some unpopular decisions and I hope the fans will understand that I effectively don’t have a choice.

“The club may need to do what is right and to buy time until Carson’s assets are dislodged from the clutches of the courts in Hong Kong.”

Maybe Pannu being away is what has held any potential deal up, mind you thinking about it how silly of me of course it is us that has held it all up by messing around.

Didn't realize he was away. This is more likely the reason why it's been held up. Is he back now?

B_H_Baggie · « **Reply #616 on:** July 26, 2011, 11:27:25 PM »

No idea when he is back or if it has held anything up. Just pointing out that it may not have been us holding things up when so many have assumed that we have.

Now, City chief Peter Pannu has admitted the axe will have to fall and unpopular decisions will have to be made when he returns from the Far East - just one week before they kick off their Championship season.

So that's this weekend then. Hmm wonder if all deals regarding blues are on ice til he gets back or if deals will still happen even though he isn't in country?

Can't deals be done over the phone? Is Pannu the only person who can sanction a transfer? I'm pretty sure the deal can be done without him here.

Baggies · « **Reply #620 on:** July 26, 2011, 11:34:32 PM »

I think this is the time now to get Foster. The 4 million bid has to go in now, rake up the pressure before the other vultures come in. Looks like he should be ours the way they are going which would be great news.

You would expect so but the way that club has been run since they took over you really never know.

He didn't quite say it like that, when asked if there was a chance we could negotiate a deal with them for Green he said something like they have already taken Foster haven't they.
