Ben Foster back up

[FallowfieldBlade]

Out of contract sign him up would be better competition to League one Wes and even better than him potentially

Sack Davies off back to stoke IMO

He could also do some podcasts and tik toks and help out with the social media team

The same Davies's we signed permanently? How's that gonna work then?

It’s a valid point

I think Foster will go to a PL club as second / third choice on a big salary.
He seems to be looking to his career in media beyond football now. I can't see him moving up North to play second fiddle at our level.

Wouldn't be welcome after the Ramsdale interview he did

Foster spends most of his time noshing off other footballers on his podcast.

Bit like Carson

Why what did he do in the ramsdale interview ?

Basically saying we were wrong to reject bids from Arsenal and then was gobsmacked that we didn't offer Ramsdale a bigger contract when we turned those bids down.

And blowing smoke up his arse when Ramsdale spoke about basically refusing to play until he got his move.

This is much ado about very little I'm afraid.

Foster's comments weren't exactly groundshaking, and the fact that his opinion had some relevance, well let's leave it at one guy's opinion vs another. United haven't always addressed the question of transfers and valuations with as much relevance and appropriateness as we'd like, so perhaps there are lessons for the club to learn and improve upon, rather than bleat on about one man's view.

Whats Davies done wrong ?

I think what he actually said was that we were wrong to go back on our word with Ramsdale , we said he could leave at X price then we went back on that word "Apparently"

If that is true then we were wrong IMO and Foster is correct

What's he done right ?

Just so I’m following this thread correctly—
You want us to pay off the remainder of our current backup keeper’s contract so we can replace him with another backup keeper who will undoubtedly want significantly more money than the backup keeper we already have?

Exactly the tin-pot lack of ambition that has cost the club so dear over the years

Davies is a solid back up option at this level, would be a pointless signing
