Aberdeen defender Richard Foster emerges as a shock transfer target for Rangers

 

Aug 27 2010

 

RANGERS are weighing up a surprise move for Aberdeen defender Richard Foster.

 

Record Sport understands Ibrox boss Walter Smith has identified the Dons fullback as a possible recruit as he looks to bolster his threadbare squad.

 

The 25-year-old speed merchant has made more than 200 appearances during his seven years at Pittodrie and has shown his versatility by being used in both central defence as well as midfield roles.

 

Despite signing a contract extension earlier this year to carry him through to 2013 Foster is being considered by Rangers as a valuable addition as they target a third successive SPL title.

 

The Dons fans' favourite has impressed in recent seasons with a level of consistency to cement a regular first-team spot under previous boss Jimmy Calderwood and current gaffer Mark McGhee.

 

Any potential deal would be dependant on Aberdeen's valuation of the player reflecting what Rangers are prepared to pay and negotiations could be opened ahead of the transfer window slamming shut early next week.

I see the British Broadcasting Corporation have given up their live text coverage of deadline day now the English transfer window has closed.

As a free agent, Basey doesnt need to sign tonight.

So can he be welcomed back next season?

 

I can't see it.

One word..........................

aye .......I agree 100%

As a free agent, Basey doesnt need to sign tonight.

 

Looking for more than Basey to be honest

Our midfield is scarily lacking in depth and competiton for places

He told rangers.co.uk: "It has all happened very quickly. I was surprised the way things have gone and I'm very excited by it.

 

"I remember that goal two seasons ago. It was a pure mistake. Scoring at Ibrox was something I had thought about but not an own goal.

 

"It was not a highlight for me but at least I can say I have scored for Rangers at Ibrox and hopefully I can add a few more this season.

 

"The Champions League is the biggest stage of all and to have a chance of playing there is terrific.

 

"You look at the teams in the group and it's going to be brilliant.[/b]

 

GTF.

Not happy. Sounds like McGhee is putting personal differences in front of what is best for the team.

 

Optimism wiped out over the last 4 days.

 

Pish.

One defender and striker, plus Smith for a bit too (none been getting a game) out, one defender and striker in. That's not exactly making the squad more uneven. We can keep at least 3 out of the 4 for the start of next season or get rid if we choose. I don't see how that makes bad buisiness. Whether or not it improves the team we'll find out in time but I think it looks better, if only on paper.

 

Now for a last minute Attacking midfield and right back!

 

 

 

 

And another striker maybe 

What a load of fucking pish.

Not impressed.

However, we must surely be shipping a striker out, either on loan or permanently!?

And hopefully getting Basey in.

To be honest I think we have got the better end of the deal.

If we can get in one or two more defenders I'd maybe agree.

 

Howard

Diamond Ifil

Folley Hartley Pawlett

Mackie Velicka Magennis Maguire Aluko

 

Or we could do that?

Must admit, that I never thought that the Infirm would go for Mulgrew and Foster and think that they were getting a good deal. Like Mulgrew, I think Foster will be found out and spend most of his time in Iprix on the bench or in the reserves ..... wait there ain't no reserves! 

And if and its a big if he did do well we might get a fee for him.

Think about 2 seasons ago when foster was real shite and velicka was banging in the goals

That days could return

Fucking furious. Beyond furious. I'm officially going full retard over this.

why foster is no world beater

True but he is a solid dependable player who can play in more than one position and we have swapped him for a striker who according to GS has managed a handful of games in 2 seasons and even less goals 

I would be inclined to agree that on first impressions it seems like a good deal for AFC. However, put it in context - there are two hours until the transfer window closes, Velicka has not played in years, we have not one full back in the squad, and 6 strikers competing for one place. Madness.

Strange.

 

Wouldn't be suprised if there were personal differences between the two. Don't know what like the reception will be for Foster if/when he comes back. I am assuming Foster and Velicka will not be able to play when the two sides meet?

 

I am hoping that McGhee is still working on getting one or two other strikers out and getting in Basey. Just seems very strange to let go our only recognised full back and one that can also fill a variety of positions.

 

Hopefully Velicka can reckindle some form and fitness or else this could turn out to be a disaster deal for McGhee.

I'm not liking this deal in the slightest.......for once i agreee with giving foster dogs abuse!!!...

 

will he get to play against us?!

Why the fuck should he get dogs abuse - according to Redweb he didn't even know about it until around 4pm today - doesn't sound like he was given a choice
