I'd have Given if he was cheap with mebbe a cheap up and coming 'keeper from the CL or lower as back-up.  Not sure what Foster will cost but i'm hesitant about spending a lot on a keeper if we're short on money. And of course there's the blose factor to think of in that he'll get panned if he makes any mistakes. Other than that better value for money is available from abroad.

I'm not sure if we are aware what's happening abroad. Did GH ever get round to transforming our scouting network?

AM does look there i'm sure. Wer've got plenty of home grown players so we can look abroad without any worries about this quota bobbins. If you've got a limited budget then the goalkeeping position is somewhere we can get a good 'keeper for a smaller outlay.

... and probably the three months after his first game back.

McGregor for both. With AM in charge he could get him in with the Rangers links n' all.

McGregor penning new deal with Rangers keeping him here until 2016
would need IMO a bid of over £10m now to tempt us.

McLeish and him had a falling out a while back when Stefan Klos was injured and he brought an experienced keeper in to replace him, so don't know if McLeish would have that good a chance of tempting the shagger to Villa Park.

Like Sebastian Frey
Realistic  Shay Given or Ben Foster

Blast from the past that. We were linked with Frey a few years back, had forgot all about him.  Is he still at Fiorentina? Looked good when we played them back in 2009.

Frey is still first choice as far as i know he was injured last year for a bit though,
Boruc is his understudy and on look out for new club now so maybe a Bid for Frey could tmpt thm into keeping hold of Boruc

Scot Carson. No only joking! Robinson of Blackburn would be my choice.

He has and so has larsson
So we have let Westwood to Sunderland for free from right under our nose! I know we will do a typical Villa here and sign him for £10M in a couple of years.

If United are signing a new no. 1 keeper this summer, I'd happily take Van der Sar off their hands for a season or two. They fvckin owe us a favour after all.

The reason they are buying a new goalie is that VDS has retired....................

ahh - scratch that then. I thought his contract was up and they didn't renew it.

It will probably be Foster and we'll probably get assraped for the fee, but he's pretty solid keeper.

Is Guzan still on our books? - never really seen him play. I know he had that good game against Sunderland in the league cup, but other than that....

I quite like Kirkland as a keeper - if we're on a budget, it would be a reasonable shout  I think.
