Foster close to signing Apparently!

[Will M]

I thought i read somewhere that he was signing for Celtic, or am i wrong?

No, that's Fraser Forster, who we'd also been linked with.

Foster is my first choice, so if we get him I'd be delighted. Outside of Hart probably the best GK in the Premier League last season.

[Del]

Have to disagree there mate !!

A good keeper (particularly in the Prem ) is probably worth 5 pts over the course of a season . If it means another season in the Prem then money well spent !!!

Although Green is a good keeper he always looks like he's about to drop a clanger !!

For me Foster or Given ...Would be well happy with either

EDIT : My response referred to Rebel R's post !!

A good keeper is worth a lot more than 5 points in a season. Foster is miles better than Greene.

Foster is my number 1 choice. A great keeper & 5million is about right.

Green isn't free as such because it will be massive wages & I don't rate him that much

[JustinQPR]

Will be absolutely delighted with this. My number one transfer target for the summer.

[Hitman34]

do you people really believe that the fulham chronicle has an inside scoop on who is hughes number one target? oh pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

i would love us to sign foster but dont be silly to think we are close to getting him just because the fulham chronicle says so.

july 1st is when transfers start, cant wait.

i would like .........................

abdoulaye Ba cb plus one other cb ?

moses 4 mil

Have heard this one for a while and would be very happy with it. Kenny can often pull off great saves but he is too short to be a good enough Prem keeper in the long term imo. Foster definite upgrade

Celtic wouldn't have the money

[bushcelt1]

Celtic wouldn't have the money

its frasier foster who's already on loan to them from newcastle.

[Bluehoop]

This is what a WBA fan had to say about him for Loftforwords' preview before we last played:

First and foremost it has to be Ben Foster. He has been so impressive this season. It is imperative over the summer that we convince Birmingham City to turn his loan into a permanent deal. Foster is an excellent shot-stopper and some of his saves this season have been crucial to us winning games – for example his point blank double save against Blackburn undoubtedly turned the game in our favour. He must easily have earned us 12 points this season. Furthermore, his distribution is superb, especially compared to the dross served up by Carson and Kiely in previous seasons. Foster always looks for the early option, and his throwing and/or kicking is almost always spot-on. I would be very surprised if he doesn’t win player of the year.

That's a pretty impressive report from your own fans.

Would like to think a €5 million investment would be worth more than 5 points over a whole season,for me Green is as good and Free

[QPR1976]

Yeah, but did he win WBA PotY ?

Imagine getting him, keeping Paddy & offloading Murphy ?

foster, Kenny, Cerny - Not bad eh ? Trani would learn from them.

[Tarbie]

5m for Ben Foster would be a great piece of business. 2nd only to Joe Hart he is the best English goalkeeper and at 29 he has his best years ahead of him. He is also 3 years younger than Rob Green and less likely to drop a clanger.

I really hope this rumour is true!

would be a great signing for us..exciting times :-)

[QPR1976]

IF he's 2nd best to Hart (and I'm not saying he isn't)

Why is he not in Poland right now ?
Why is Green and his own No 2 or 3 at Birmingham ?

Just asking like.
