Second that. The lad is brilliant.
If you can't get him try Diego Cavalieri...

Managed to pick up Foster for £6million!Is by far my most consistent performer! Averages over 7.5 every season!If you can get him for under £10 million it is worth it!!!

He had about 16 clean sheets in about 25 games up until Dec 15th when Akinfee arrived. The Russian lad injures himself for 4 months and Foster continued to play for the whole season obtaining approximately 29 clean sheets in total. In my experience he was simply top notch and would recommend him but not for £19m. £12-15 maybe.

How come 29 clean sheets is not worth £19M?
I bet you'd pay more than that for a 30 goal a season striker.

A goalkeeper of that quality is priceless.
Look at Schemeichel when at Man Utd, He won them so many games with his performances.

I'd pay £19M for Foster.

I bought Foster for 1.6m in the January transfer window in my third season, his contract was due to run out in June and I snapped him up before the big clubs came in for him.

He's been top notch his mental attributes might be low but a coaching report revealed he relishes the big games...

U cud get ron robert zieler , or maybe even Barthez on the cheapeven tho hes not that good. Ur best choice would be Arthur Boruc(extremely overrated) or Craig gordon. Maybe even Kasper Schemichael(wrong spelling)

I guess it depends on how he's developed, in my game he is very inconsistent and leaks soft goals. But IRL he does relish the big matches and seems to be a very strong character (having a psychiatrist girlfriend probably helps!).

Oh crap, i just checked in my game and he has become a class keeper two seasons later, succeeding Shay Given at Newcastle. I shouldn't have let him go on a free, but i guess his soft goals ****ed me off as they eliminated me from both the Carling and FA cups.
