JawD 99 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Well, I reckon there will be a 50/50 reaction to this one. I think he performed very well for us last season and Id have liked him to stay. Seems typical that after him playing 2nd fiddle to Given for so long, once he gets his shot he is off. Course, more likely it's the club selling him and it would be to a big club playing european football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TicTacWoe 0 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Well, I find it very worrying if true even though Krul looks really promising it would be nice to have Harper there as an insurance policy if Krul/Foster can't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay 10 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Can't blame him. But I just did not think he would leave the area and he knows he will be number one for next season after being second for so long. Â Willing to give Krul and Foster a go. But would hope we bring in a older head to help them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Krul has often looked good, but I just cant help but think he's still not fully tried for the Prem. Bit of a gamble but I guess they see him day in day out. Forster becomes no 2. Guess we have been spoiled so long having Given/Harper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Its always a gamble with young keepers, but if we were going to sell a keeper i'd take the gamble and sell Harper and go for it with Krul and Forster as backup. Potentially i think both can be better than Harper in every aspect, shot stopping, dominating the box and kicking/releasing the ball quickly to start attacks etc. and i hope i'm right! Â I'm still surprised if it happens as i wouldn't expect he'll bring in much money if we think that's what Ashley is doing, and i'd always had Hughton down as playing safe wanting to have Harper as no.1 and keep the young lads as back up.

Kitman 2204 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Dunno whether it's true but I can believe it. Probably a Les Ferdinand type scenario if so - decent offer for older player, sold without approval of manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30534 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'd be surprised. Â At the same time Krul is either going to want first team football or a transfer. He's looked good in the few first team appearances he's made, someone else will know more about his reserve displays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Think Harper had medical advice that his back couldnt take the amount of bending to collect the ball from the back of the net next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay 10 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 If this is true, I Said we should've played Krul in the championship to get him ready for this season.... Â In hindsight yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2204 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 It'd make more sense if it was Given moving to Celtic. Still, if we're spending money on new players it has to come from flogging a player or two so I can believe it. If Hughton comes and out and says he's heard nothing and no way is Harper leaving, it definitely means they've sold him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21911 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 good keepers don't grow on trees. agree with those that say david james would be worth getting on a one year deal. would be interestign to see if krul is ready too. he has looked a good shot stopper in his limited appearances for us though obvioulsy has little experience so would be a gamble.

JaMoUsE 0 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) could be something in this. Brian Laws says he was hoping he'd have a new keeper (Fraser Forster) signed up by now but the other club are dragging their heels. Duno how paly Harper and Alan Thompson are, but that could have sumthing to do with it Edited July 12, 2010 by JaMoUsE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4376 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I've never rated Harper and wouldn't give a shit if he was sold - if Forster or Krul aren't good enough then we can address it then but I'd rather either of them were given a chance.

Ketsbaia 0 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'd quite happily let him go if it we got someone like James on a one year deal and gave Krul a few opportunities this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
