VDS will be first choice for the big 4 games, but Foster will likely get the games against teams in the lower half.

Honestly I don't know for sure whether Kussie or Fossie is the better goalkeeper, mostly because neither has really had his chance to shine on the 1st team for stretches of games in a row. I like Foster, but as all have stated before he has had fitness problems. There is nothing anyone can do to determine how injuries will play out in the future. Some get injured to a point where a brilliant career was shortened ( 20 Legend) and some seem to be luckier than most (Giggs). I guess the point I was trying to make is that when given the opportunity I am comfortable that both could do a good job as a permanent first team goalie. P.S. Support "the yanks" tomorrow vs. Spain we will need all the prayers we can get.

His speed of anticipation concerns me - witness Celtic Park last season - but he has to have a run at United and a chance to force his way into Capello's World Cup starting XI, which would only be to our advantage. At the time last season when VDS agreed to another year, the Dutchman said it was on the understanding he would stay first choice. Two into one won't go, except it easily could with some lateral thinking: I would give BF the 38 league games, and VDS the Champions League and domestic cup games.

He did well at Watford, but he was a bit of an unknown quantity to most of us then. If he has next season on loan and does well, he'll go to the world cup as englands number 1 and come back to us to take over from Edwin. If he doesnt perform to the level we'd expect and need, then Diego Lopez from Villareal should be brought in. He's 27, 6'5", and an incredible shot stopper. He's definitely the man to replace Van Der Sar if Foster isnt. Anyone who is a fan of La Liga will know how outstanding he is, and if the spanish national goalkeeper wasnt picked on name alone, he'd be spains number 1. By the way, if we truly are interested in Victor Valdes then there may be trouble ahead..... I’d get him out on oan next season to see how he copes.

I've liked Foster and been pulling for him to be given the number 1 shirt ever since his two WONDER saves against Derby... So heres hoping that he stays fit and gets a few more games under his belt this year. Oh yeah, same for Hargo!!
