Having turned down the latest offer from Boro the speculation has increased with Manchester United and Arsenal alledgedly ready to make a move, however, the situation has some way to develop yet.
Schwarzer had this to say regarding the situation "They made me an offer and we declined it but there are ways of solving the problem. The worst case scenario is if I have to move on but I'm confident I would find another club."
He added "But I'm not looking to move. People always speculate that you're being greedy but a decision has to be made and I stand by that decision. I based that decision on what my agent and I think I'm worth."
If Boro just take a brief look at what Schwarzer has done in his 7 years, he has been the rock behind a solid defence. He has his off days, but don't all keepers?
just look at his latest performance against West Brom, he kept Boro in the game with several useful saves, before we went on to win.
Who would they replace him with? Steve Harper has been mentioned, but he's not in the same league. It would would cost a small fortune to replace him like-for-like.
The solution is to keep the Australian No.1 at the club, so come on Boro up your offer, don't let Schwarzer go!
Schwarzer plays for Australia tonight, along with team mate Mark Viduka, in a friendly against Norway, at Fulham's Craven Cottage. The game can be seen live on Sky, with a 8.30pm kick-off.
