One goal Foran begs for a move back north
Speaking to the local paper, the Cumberland News, Foran said "It hasn't gone well for me at Southend since we got relegated. The manager has been honest with me and told me that I'm not in his plans this season, so the main thing for me is to get myself fit, find a club and to get back to enjoying football again. I want to be back in the north if possible and it would be a dream come true to play for Carlisle again. I believe I can bring a lot to the team and I know I can score goals. Carlisle have some good strikers but I have proved I can score goals and I want to score for Carlisle."
In 2004 Foran was released by United after their relegation to the Conference in what turned out to be a tough year for the Irishman. "My last season at Carlisle was hard. I was in a couple of scuffles outside of football and appeared in court. It affected my game and I ended up being loaned out to Oxford," he said. (Not a great case to get Ward running for the cheque book!)

Southend paid Motherwell 150k for Foran at the end of January 2007. He played just 21 games for the Blues and scored one goal. Steve Tilson has told Foran he's not in his first team plans after loaning him out to Darlington last season.
Well, if we get some money for him, good luck son, but this seems a strange way to try and win over a potential new club.
