I can't see that happening. What's your source?

The only reason for them to do it would be to get his wages off their wage bill for a season, hoping they get promoted at the first attempt. So he can go back there next year.
Izzy Brown? Yes he is!

Maybe. But Peace has stated that the club would pay market value in fees and wages if they felt the player was of adequate quality.
We've gone on holiday by mistake!

That would make sense. My source is 100% that this move should happen, however there is still work to be done on personal terms and he has not had a medical yet but there should be no problems there. Just gotta sit back and wait now!

The odds have been like that for a few days which suggests there is nothing in it. Somebody probably just put quiet a large bet on. I remember there being really short odds (might have even stopped taking bets) for beckford a couple of years back, and we didn't even bid for him.

not saying he is right but to say it stupid is in fact stupid itself  ;)

a good keeper is what a lot of teams want (need) so if they could sell others but keep Foster by just loaning him out for a year then if they get promoted they still have a good keeper and if they don't they sell him anyway and they have saved a couple of mill in wages,

win win for Blues i think

Well, if it does happen you can blame me.

I posted this a few days ago:-

Albion Transfer Forum / Re: New goalkeeper?
« on: July 04, 2011, 01:43:54 PM »

How about trying for Foster on loan, with an option to buy at a pre agreed price IF we are in the Prem the season after next and Blues aren't.

We get a GK for the season without a big transfer fee AND if he works out a possible chance to buy in a year

Blues get him off the payroll for a year and retain him if they come straight back up

Foster stays in the Prem come what may.

ps If Jeremy asks, tell him it was my idea  ;D








So if it happens - proof positive that Jeremy (or at least Dan) reads this forum  ;D

and I will claim to be - not ITK but AOTG (ahead of the game)  ;)

After that he'd have just one year left on his deal though. His value by then would be a lot less than it is now. I think it's one reason that will prove a massive sticking point. Birmingham paid £4m with a possibility of a £6m deal with all the add ons. He held his own last season...

You'd expect a bid of at least £5m to take him, if not more.

Cant understand why people are reading so much in to him being 1/5 with Skybet to join us? I would be amazed if more than £1000 has been wagered with Skybet on that market which means it only takes 1 guy with a hunch and some spare cash to change the market completely. For example, if I went and placed £1k on Foster to Fulham and £1k on Schwarzer to us then by 6pm tonight both those moves would be odds on to happen

I like lordbaggies idea. Just listened to baggies view though and CL reckons he is not on the radar.

A tweet from CL 4 minutes ago claiming there might now be an interest in Ben Foster.  :)

'But seems there might now be an interest'

'Not as advanced as being stated. But seems missing out on Given has forced a rethink. Hence DV's revaluation'.

'And all of a sudden wba 's decision to not pursue Vaughan is starting to make sense....'
