MAIL - Hughes prepares £5m bid for Foster after weighing up Gordon, Gomes and Given QPR are ready to step up interest in Birmingham goalkeeper Ben Foster by making a £5million bid. Manager Mark Hughes had also shown interest in Sunderland's Craig Gordon, Tottenham's Heurelho Gomes and Aston Villa's Shay Given but Foster's form following a strong season on loan at West Bromwich Albion has convinced Hughes he is the right man. Once Foster is signed, Hughes will allow Paddy Kenny to join Leeds United. Daily Mail
Kirklands a decent keeper, but too injury proned. I'd like to see Robinson (Blackburn R) come in.......maybe in a swap wih Baton. mabe we could confuse the Venkys and state something like JB is not a disruptive force and would fit in nicely........
