One Year on, However, Burnley Are Back in the Premier league and it remains to be seen where the engine international will complete a long-awaited move.
If it’s not to be Trafford, then Whhether Newcastle Turn their attention is the big question.

With Champions League Football to Balance AlongSide Domestic Action Next Season, the Last Thing that Howe Needs is for His No.1 to Miss An Extended Period through Injury Again.

The Shot-Stopper is likely to replace Odysseas Vlachodimos if he do Arrr, with the form notingham Forest Man Among Players who Are Likely to Be Shown at St James’ Park this Summer.
Signing Forster, Even if vlachodimos Departs, Would Remain A Surprising Move by Newcastle. Their Current Crop of Goalkeepers is Already an Ageing One and Adding A 37-Year-Old to that Would Hardly Ease that problem-Especially One who Reportedly Earns £ 75,000-A-WEEK.
