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.

Agent Foster has reported for duty.

Just out of interest who were the immediately previous players to have made the same switch.

 

Stephen Wright and Jim Bett?

 

Theo.

Theo.

There is a bit of a difference going to Rangers and then coming back....

If he does.

Punch the hun!

I don't actually feel the need to be pissed off with the guy.  It doesn't sound like it was any of his own doing and he's on the official site saying he sees it as a way to gain valuable experience for when he returns to Aberdeen next season.

 

The smilie-shirt photos are for the Huns.  What do you expect him to do?

Suppose it might be asking too much to have picture taken of him wiping Hun shirt on his arse

I'm not pissed off with Foster, it's McGhee thats annoyed me. Its pretty obvious where the team need strengthened and where it didn't and he's gone and done the exact opposite - with our biggest rival.

Got to say some of the comments in here are fairly harsh.  I think if Velicka scores 20+ goals for us this season and we finish in the top 6, this thread will never get mentioned.  Personally when i heard about this deal going through i got excited by it.  Being honest we never would have stood a chance of buying a player of Velickas' calibre, so a loan deal is amazing.  OK fitness worries, but IF he stays fit, tremendous.  Last week we were moaning about the long balls getting punted to Magenniss from Ifil and no back up.  We can now go 442,  433, 343!!?? 

 

I am sure McGhee knows he can get defenders in that are out of contract if he frees up the wage bill.  Basey and Ross coming in were mentioned.  If he gets them in, fair play.  Obviously there is a danger he cant get them in and we will leak goals like hell but at least we can score goals.  Personally i am getting fed up watching Hibs, Hearts, Dundee Utd etc., bangin the goals in when we are struggling to score more than 1.  At least we might be exciting to watch!!

In McGhee I trust

Maybe MM is being really damn clever. Planning to sell off Foster after he "returns"?

 

Odds on Fozzy getting some Scotland caps now, I mean if Clubfoot can get them just by being a hun.............

Who knows he might be the 1st Aberdeen player to win the Champions League.

Anyway back to reality.

I'm not sure its the rangers thing thats the main issue here fj, its certainly not for me anyway. The main problem for me is Mcghee has punted our only full back for a striker who has been injured for 2 years. No matter who the other club is thats a huge gamble and one i feel is going to backfire.

Could this be MM's Alex Miler moment (the Dodds/Winters fiasco)

No.

Is there any word if we have it in the loan contract Foster cant play against us?

Richard Foster says he will ignore internet message boards saying the versatile defender is no longer welcome at Aberdeen after moving to Rangers on a one-year loan deal. (Daily Record)

I'd rather he did line up against us, Pawlett and Aluko would turn him inside out.

Had a glance at the record, seems fairly scathing and going on what I've seen on here fairly unwarranted!

Says in the article in The Retard ( hello those who could be loosely described as journalists, and are sneaking about in forums to make up quotes taking posts out of context  ) that Foster is not allowed to play against us

I don't see how those are out of context. That's a fair reflection of much of the immediate messageboard reaction. I don't however think it's of much journalistic merit to print knee-jerk reactions of some keyboard hardnuts as if they mean anything in the real world.

 

I similarly don't want to see foster play for us again but it's for the same reason I haven't wanted to see him play for us for years. He's gash.

 

Using phrases like...

 

he will ignore the messageboard morons

 

and

 

he is ready to run a gauntlet of hate

 

are certainly not out of context because these are words the Daily Record churn out every time they write about Aberdeen fans.

 

 

Naughty Aberden fans, they'll be gobbing on their manager next. 

Isn`t Fozzy`s Pittodrie highlight so far setting up the crucial away goal in the Ukraine for Daz Mac?

Well, no. It wasn't at Pittodrie.

I'm so apoplectic with rage I'm going to send him a picture of his cat with a plaster on it's knee.
