New keeper

[PaulTheVillan]

Given is on a completely different level to green.

How many fuck ups is Given remembered for ? At a guess.....not many.
Green is a fuck up waiting to happen.
I'd take Given over him any day.

This one?

Paul, I stand corrected.
Do you have all of Greens fuck ups ?

[Matt C]

There's not enough bandwidth for that surely

[PaulTheVillan]

Green never has a 7/10 game.

Either 1/10 or 9/10.

If thats aimed at my comment then you have no arguments from me there.

I just spoke about those 3 keepers as they're the 3 most likely signings from who we've been linked with.

Givens a great shot stopper, but i've always found his aerial ability and command of area to be pretty poor

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Robinson has been outstanding. He has the lot. Second choice Foster. Mainly cause it will piss the noses off. But he has been very good ........

Shay Given. The only Irishman who didn't know where Dublin was...

Foster grew up in Leamington Spa, anyone knew who he supported? Coventry have a few fans out that way. Anyway that aside, he's a decent keeper and the right sort of age to be here for a while, I'd take him.

closing in on Foster?

Can't see it myself...

BEN FOSTER, suddenly one of English football’s most wanted men, is set to join Aston Villa as a replacement for Brad Friedel.

Even though Villa have yet to appoint a new manager to replace Gerard Houllier, they have targeted Birmingham goalkeeper Foster to succeed Friedel, who quit Villa Park yesterday to join Tottenham.

But Foster, 28, is wanted not only by Villa. Several other Premier League clubs are showing an interest in Foster, who joined Birmingham from Manchester United a year ago for £6million.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is thought to be considering a move and others are awaiting confirmation at what price he will be available, including Stoke, where he once had a successful loan spell.

England coach Fabio Capello, meanwhile, is still desperately hoping Foster will reverse his decision to call a temporary halt on his international career. Foster left England virtually threadbare in that department after announcing he wanted at least this summer off to try to shake off a string of niggling injuries.

Capello would have liked Foster in the squad for today’s European Championship qualifier against Switzerland at Wembley, but instead had to select West Ham’s Rob Green and West Brom’s Scott Carson as back-up for first-choice Joe Hart.

The current winner in the battle for Foster’s attentions appears to be his partner Kate Louise Smith. Instead of being at Wembley, Foster is expected to be spending today finalising preparations for his marriage in a fortnight.

Although Birmingham manager Alex McLeish would like to keep Foster at St Andrew’s, relegation from the Premier League means several of the club’s leading players could leave this summer, with Foster expected to be valued at about £8m.

[The Situation]

Would be good if we signed Foster.

Rub the salt into those dirty neanderthal's wounds.
