Wonder why it's not a permanent deal, Birmingham are clearly in trouble financially.

We're broke? Maybe he isn't convinced we will stay up next year?

Either way he is an improvement on Carson, happy days!

Wouldn't suprise me if it's a loan with a view to a permanent, and is just being reported as a loan.

Great news for Albion if its true. Definitely the best available keeper. A confident defence stems from a confident keeper. .. At the same time,  I take no pleasure in seeing what's happening at Blues. One of the few other clubs I have any liking for. Lesson for Albion. Steer clear of dodgy foreign owners.

From a very reliable source on twitter (not Tom Ross) that this will be confirmed in the next 24 hours. Loan fee in the region of £1m.

This guy has stated 15 signings in the last few days that have all been correct.

They never did quite clear that gypsy's curse, now, did they?

Too true. Peace may be a frustrating penny-pincher but when you look at the catastrophes that have happened with so many other clubs due to dodgy foreign owners (Blues being the latest) it makes you grateful to have him.

Either way he is an improvement on Carson, happy days!

The deal is in both clubs favour. It's an old cliche but when both parties feel they've lost a little ground on a deal, it's usually for the best. By this I mean everyone's a winner.

Blues are in financial trouble. They bought in Foster for £4 million, rising to £6 million with add-ons such as appearances etc...So as of now they've spent £4 million on him. They will do all they can to avoid those add-ons. If they stay down, they re-coup their money for him and make a tiny profit. It is better than losing money on him. Selling him for straight cash would be hard. They're so poor they are not in a position to haggle.

However, if they do go straight up, their money improves and will take him back, meaning he's only been on loan for his in theory for a year. He's a great keeper though and even if it is only a year I think it's well worth it.

The rumoured deal is a 1 year loan with the opportunity to purchase at £4 million I believe provided Blues didn’t get immediate promotion. In addition to their dire financial position if the impending administration happens then Blues will be docked points making it almost certain that they wouldn’t achieve promotion this coming season meaning that Foster would be ours permanently based on the loan option put forward. Of course circumstances now look likely to change and possibly a permanent transfer could happen.
