Fantastic signing. But can I request we actually get behind this guy and not hound him out of the club when he makes a mistake like EVERY goalkeeper in the world does?
There will be a few idiots inevitably, but I'm sure the majority of us will give him our full support. Hopefully the minority don't ruin it for the majority like what happened with Carson. I think Carson being an ex-Villa player and having an infamous England blunder to his name meant he was doomed from the start, fortunately for Foster he hasn't got either of those so he should be alright.
hi all
A really good keeper has joined us, of that there is no doubt. However, i am a bit disappointed that its just a loan deal. We have no second keeper, and what happens in 12 months if they come up and we stay up or go down, we then have to start all over again. I feel a little bit let down with the Albion so far regarding transfers. They expected me to put my hand in my pocket to shell out virtually as soon as the season had ended and part with £500, yet the club is still to pay a single penny for a transfer. Yes I know loans are not free and frees are anything but free, but I had hoped for a really good signing that would make the teams around us take note a little more. Maybe I was hoping too much knowing the albion, but will we ever pay more than 4.5 million for a player?
Ashworth has said we'll be getting another keeper in the compete with Carson. Also the transfer window is open for another 4 weeks. I don't know if we'll spend more than 4.5 million on a player, we'll probably pay over the odds for Long, so yes.
