    Birmingham City poised to sign Ben Foster for £4million

    Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster is set to move to Birmingham City for £4m, BBC Sport understands.
    Foster, 27, has only played one Premier League game since October after falling behind Edwin van der Sar and Tomasz Kuzczak in the United pecking order.
    He has also dropped out of the England squad and said last week he has blown his chance of going to the World Cup.

    Birmingham are seeking a new goalkeeper because Joe Hart is set to return to Manchester City next season.
    Foster, who joined from Stoke City in 2005, signed an improved four-year contract at Old Trafford last season.


    He started the season as United's number one but high-profile errors against Chelsea in the Community Shield, against Manchester City in the derby and Sunderland led to reports of a fallout with manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

    Foster wore the England number one shirt as recently as November, against Brazil, but was dropped from the squad for the friendly against Egypt in March.
    Last week, he hinted that he was ready to move on.
    "You never want to leave Man United [...] but I want to be playing football," he said.
    "I am not interested in just hanging about. I would go if the club wanted to sell me."

        The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

            What a joke. He's about Scott Carson's level and what did we get for him? About £2m?
            Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’
