That was my thinking. But isn't it interesting the way CL is making his tweets more cryptic, with possible double meanings.

I would be delighted to have Foster on board and if we have pulled the Vaughan signing because of it then we have very serious intent.

Blues need to sell they are in a financial mess there were issues prior to relegation and relegation will not have made them any better (http://tinyurl.com/5t9rqaa). Pretty much the whole squad is for sale no matter what they say in public they need to unload players to raise capital and get the wage bill down.

I expect there to be some hard bargaining but they will sell for roughly what they paid for him i.e. £6m

First he poo-pooed everyone on twitter saying Foster was no chance in a swarmy manner - not he's changed his tune and almost acting like he knew all along...

TeamTalk.com is a more reliable source I think.

Sadly correct hes clarified that now.  Firstly Deano then CL all getting us all excited, p**ing me off now
By selling Carson without a ready replacement we have laid ourselves open to extortion by other clubs, possibly thats why Blues are now playing hard ball with Foster

Maybe if people started taking everything with a pinch of salt and chilling out a bit they wouldn't get so worked up.

Keepers don't get rated by fans as their player of the season for no reason.

Like Carson at Charlton  :-X

Is Boaz Myhill still there?

Job done.

Nothing to do with the dispute between Birmingham and Villa I don't suppose, much like when Liverpool were asking for £10m for Carson when Villa wanted him yet let him go to us for £3.25m instead due to the previous saga with Gareth Barry. Wouldn't look good on Blues to sell to Villa given what has gone on between them this summer.

Blues would've played hard ball regardless of whether Carson was still at the club. Look at how much they're valuing Johnson and Dann at. They aren't going to sell their best players without a fight. Besides it not like the only keepers we have are youths and we're desperate to get ANYONE, we still have Myhill who's played for us in this league and also a whole season in it with Hull.

Also Deano said on Saturday that something might be happening in the next 7-10 days, it's been 6 thus far.

The financial crisis that has hit practically everyone in the country certainly hasn't hit football clubs. Leicester yesterday paid £5m for a Championship defender, so it is probably reasonable to expect that we'd have to pay around £6m-£7m for a top Premiership keeper.

We wont get Foster.


We will bid fairly low, Brum will want a big fee and negotiations will stop at that point.

I personally think we should just get an unknown foreign keeper in now and hope for the best. Will save any hassle later in the window.

In that case we may as well have had Vaughan.

Thing is people ain't happy whatever happens. If we didn't go for Foster people would moan that were not doing enough and now we are going for Foster people will still moan.

Not a dig at you mate, just the general feeling I get reading these boards sometimes.

Really? Oh rats. You should have got in contact with the club and informed them of this fact, would have saved them the time and hassle of targeting him. Ashworth, Hodgson, Peace - very silly people for not knowing this.
