Foster is a Leamington lad so I imagine he would be happy staying in the area, I'd go for him.

Brad does need to be replaced.
From that list I'd be happy with anyone except Green and Kirkland.

Some real big bastard, from the frozen wastes of Northern Scandinavia or Siberia. 6ft 8 with hands like shovels. He won't need to come for crosses or set pieces, no opposition forward will be foolish enough to go anywhere near him.

Failing that, Foster or Stekelenburg.

Foster or Robinson for me. Actually, Robinson or Foster, in that order. Robinson more steady but already in his 30s, Foster could grow into the complete 'keeper as he's younger.

Given - age against him now, plus injury concerns. Green still seems too error prone to me - that Wigan winner confirmed it for me. Kirkland has the worst injury record of any player, ever. Westwood I've never seen play. Stekelenburg I think will be out of our reach.

Failing that, I do like Kev Gage's suggestion. I wonder if that massive Russian boxer - Nikolai Valuev - fancies a change of career?

I would go for Foster but if we couldn't get him I would go for Robinson.

Would be happy with Brad for another year, but if not, then Paul Robinson. Ben Foster doesn't command his box.

Foster but only after a thorough delousing following his sojurn in Small Heath, backed up by Westwood
