robglosta Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 He's just come back from a career threatening injury - this can be viewed two ways: 1. It may be wise to sell at a fair price, as it is uncertain what follow on niggles he might get. 2. It would make sense to both him and us for him to stay, as he can gradually work his way into the side as he gains more strength and confidence. His fitness record was excellent pre injury, so I'd be inclined to hold onto him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 To be honest I think Olsson is a better full back than Forsyth. That doesn't mean I want him gone as I think competition for places is a good thing but for a fair price? Why not. £500,000 is not a fair price.

DcFc Dyycheee Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'd want closer to 3m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Lowe is more than capable of being backup. So either Olsson or Forsyth will leave. Almost certainly Forsyth. But he is still a top player and we should expect around £2m for him, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I think a lot of people's valuations are far too low for Fozzy. We are rejecting bids of at least 7.5 million for Hendrick, a player who hasn't been as consistent as Forsyth has over the years. We are under no pressure to sell. The game has moved on A LOT with prices. Man City are spending 50 million on a defender that can't defend, having already spent 49 million on a braindead winger last summer. The new money in the prem means that players are going for 3 or 4 times their normal price and this is having a collateral effect in the championship. We should tell Blackburn to make a bid of at least 10 million or bore off. Oh my, I'm beginning to sound like b4 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I may be reading Pearson wrong but he seems to really rate Fozzy. I'd think he's worth 2-3m. £500k is a basically a free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Ram Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Our best left back who is improving, definitely keep. They can have Olsson back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Blackburn can take their £500k and get te f**k!!! If true that's a laughable offer for one of the most consistent left backs outside the premier league. I'd have him in the side ahead of Olsson as he's much steadier defensively and a lot better in the air. We wouldn't have draw with Rotherham last season if Fozzy was playing that day. I like Olsson, he's good, but Fozzy is better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsy1884 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 £500k is a fee more comparable to a tribunal or compensation for a player you no longer need. Out of Olsson and him, Fozzy is the better player they are similar defensively, but Forsyths height gives him a massive advantage but going forward Forsyth is so much more powerful as well. Like everyone suggests its the silly summer of transfers so only crazy money please (which blackburn most certainly dont have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazram80 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 500k Really? and Grant Handley sold from blackburn for 5.5million. i would rate fozzy just as high as him(i know they play in different positions) 1.5 - 2 million is more realistic Some clubs are having a laugh this pre season.

BottrillRAM Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I rate Fozzy equal to Olsson really but haven't seen them both fighting against each other for a place, I think one needs to go if we are to bring Lowe in as a LB although I think he has played further forward in pre season!
