Ben Foster admits he was ready to retire before Watford move

After so many years playing for Pulis, I think I would have wanted to retire as well, The article is, as usual from Ben, an honest view.

Don't think the word honest should be used in conjunction with Foster following his statements in the aftermath of our relegation. Unfortunately he has become just another well trained media savvy footballer that is we'll capablevof saying what his audience want to hear !!

In the same interview, he says, West Brom are probably my team.
Why would he say that if he didn't mean it?

I still believe he was sold too cheaply.

“Watford and Bournemouth planning moves for Jack Butland as Stoke keeper eyes Premier League return to boost international prospects”

Looks as if Ben’s immediate future with Watford could be in question if this report is accurate

Because he made pretty similar comments when joining us from Blues. Also why use the word probably ?

Watford keeper Ben Foster says he'll 'absolutely refuse' to play in the #FACup  final if he's picked over Heurelho Gomes.

"Gomes deserves it and should play without a doubt. He has never let this club down and never will."

A typical gesture by Ben

Made easier by the fact that he knew he wouldn't be picked anyway

In which case, we should make another offer Foster. He gives much more leadership from the back than SJ.

Watford fans say he was great last year but utter garbage this season. A season too far it seems and most want him to  retire.

Laughable, the few points they've got are almost directly attributable to Ben.


If he's available we should get him back next season.

Even accounting for the atrocious defence in front of him he has been not upto standard according to my few Watford pals. Their fan forum suggests the same.

On the contrary, a Watford pal of mine says he's the reason they have any points.

The funniest thing was when they managed to beat Norwich some of our fans on Facebook were claiming he was good enough for England.

If we get promoted, we should go in for him. Given his background here, he should slot in immediately. And win us a few extra points in the Prem.

Yeah if we get promoted and Watford get relegated he would back like a shot. Couldn't wait to leave us when we went down. To old, people saying how well he's playing. Really! bottom of the Prem with the worst goal difference.

I've seen a bit of him this season and I'd say overall he's on the decline.
He's single-handedly saved Watford a few points with some fantastic saves, but he's also had a few howlers which have also dropped them points. He used to be mostly error-free so it looks like his age is starting to set in.

Good bloke in his day.
Fozzie was a "good 'un".
Time to move on.
Was at the top of his game in the past.... Slipped when he left us.

“A special shout out to @BenFoster. At our meeting on Thursday, @Richfitzbrfc (who had travelled from Basingstoke) was bidding in the auction for a signed WBA shirt for his son. Ben outbid him and then (after paying) gave him the shirt! Top man.”

Tottenham plot transfer move for Watford keeper Ben Foster as Mourinho wants 36-year-old to push Lloris for No1 spot

He's out of contract in the summer and it looks like his services will be in demand

Is he the only player to have (been playing in a team which has) beaten Liverpool twice in the last 25 months ?

He is on talksport now and said Mel tried to make up play it out the back which isn't his game and said myhill was a great number 2 and that Watford haven't offered him an extension to his contract and that is the first time he is in the position of being out of contract at the end of the season.

He's 37 soon, but I would take him back for a couple of seasons on a free.
