   He looks good, and seeing him in that green jersey brought some serious deja vu, but he still needs to work on his 1 on 1s, his defence saved his ass a couple of times there. Still, he’s only 23.

   Fucking hell what is wrong with people? A couple of “dodgy” moments from Ben pre season and people are writing the lad off already. How do you know this one is gonna be any better? Oh that’s right because of a 6 minute youtube clip!

   come on Micky, don’t be so harsh, he’s clearly worth £5m at the very least! He’s highly rated by Schalke, is their no. 1 keeper and is in the German setup, so is clearly a good prospect. He also seems like a quality shot stopper with very quick reactions, as shown by a couple of the clips. At 23, hes got a couple of years on Foster and Kuzczack, and has already been playing first team football at a top club. Schmeichel was signed at a bargain price and £5m for what seems like a hell of a keeper, would be a snip!

   I have faith in Foster’s abilities, but I don’t think he’s all there mentally. He seems to me to be better when he was at watford than now. He looks like he’s afraid of his shadow (during shield match) and we can’t afford that long term since the defence is often organized from the goal keeper forward.

   And if Kusc. is unhappy then let him go somewhere he’ll play more than 8 times a season and sign neuer up!

   He has that kind of form at 23? Assuming he doesn’t peak early, we could be set for a decade with this kid.

   Seriously speaking, Neuer reminds me of Schmeichel too. I been mentioning foster save most with his foot and his hand is not as strong as foot. As for kicking, he is not very comfortable as mention by some post and i agree with it, he is anxious and not confident on the ball and that is really a bad thing consider that is the most basic thing. Of course i do like him to continue in our club but hope he really can step up if not, i really losing faith in him. Neuer looks kind of good and if reports is true, Sir Alex will have send scouts to see him in action and was impress. Not by youtube standard. Another point i want to make is in the defensive midfield area, i agree with those who said that is the area we need to improve. I do hope Hargreaves come back if not we need another. Gibson is not defensive midfielder. Possebon is load out and Petrucci not even start regularly. We seriously need another defensive midfielder if we were to win the champions league this season.

   He really is Schmeichel-esque. All indicators point to Foster not being a top choice keeper, and we only have one more year tops out of VDS. This kid looks class, I really hope we get him. Remember how hard it was to get another good keeper after Schmeichel? Let’s not go through that again.

    Highlights video like this don’t tell you anything. Just about every keeper in just about any league could put something equally impressive together over a season. What I’d want to see is how he handles crosses and corners. Does he control his six yard box? And most important is he two footed and how accrute is his kicking and throwing? The sort of keeper I love to see is one you’d fancy as having a chance of holding his place as a central defender, at least in the reserves. (A bit of an exageration …. but you know what I mean!!)

    @schmikes1

    My point was the guy above watched ONE edited video of him and said ‘he looks worth the money’.

    I’ll be honest, I’ve never heard of him. I’ve never seen him play. All I’ve ever seen of the lad is that video and he looks amazing. But should I go to YouTube and find a video that makes Taibi look like The Great Dane to prove my point?

    He could be gash. The same game he made one amazing save, he might have let someone meg him from 80 yards for all we know. He might be fantastic and he might be a snip at £5m, but we can’t tell that from one video surely?

    Is there anyone on here that has seen him quite a bit?

    i do follow bundes liga games very closely for some reasons. yes this guy was very impressive last season. just only 23 and imagine when he comes to foster’s age. foster is a gud goalie and i want an english keeper to do the job for my mighty united but not convinced in foster. surely manutd signing him in january for sure. most of the big clubs not interested in him coz they all got good ones at the same time he dont want to b in the bench as he is a main candidate for german. sign him up fergie. lets give some chance to foster untill VDS recover then decide whether we want this guy or not.

    From this video i have concluded that
    On a scale of 1 to 10
    (error consideration= +-1)

    Foster:

    Reflexes=8
    Anticipation=7
    Positioning=7
    Handling=8
    Aerial Ability=8
    Kicking=8
    Throwing=8

    Neuer:

    Reflexes=9
    Anticipation=9
    Positioning=9
    Handling=8
    Aerial Ability=?
    Kicking=?
    Throwing=?

    What do u guys think?
