Ridgewell has come out and hailed West Bromwich Albion’s move to secure the signature of Ben Foster after the Englishman spent a season on loan at the Hawthorns stadium last season from Birmingham City in the English Premier
League...
The West Bromwich Albion defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liam-Ridgewell-c22240 has hailed the club’s decision to sign Ben Foster on a permanent basis by the midlands club after the Englishman spent a full season on loan to the Baggies in the last Premier League
campaign.
West Brom did well under Roy Hodgson’s guidance in the 2011-2012 Premier League season as Ben Foster took up his place as their first choice goal keeper. Foster kicked off his career in English football with Watford but he really
earned his fame at Manchester United.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson eventually sold the young shot stopper to Birmingham City after it appeared that he was struggling to cope with pressure that comes with playing for the Red Devils.
At Birmingham City, Foster cemented himself as a dependable goalkeeper and helped them gain vital points but that was not enough as the Blues were relegated to the Championship tier after failing to impress in the 2010-2011 Premier
League term.
Nonetheless, West Bromwich gave Foster his way back into Premier League football and now they have secured the former Manchester United goalkeeper on a permanent basis. Ridgewell who used to play for Birmingham City as well knows
what Foster is capable of on top form and he has praised the Baggies for signing his former team mate.
Liam said, "Signing Ben was absolutely fantastic, one of the best pieces of news of the summer. The term world class is easily used these days - but Foz [Foster] really is that good. He gives great confidence to the defenders playing
in front of him. I'm sure a few clubs wouldn't have minded signing him so for us to get him was a fantastic bit of business.”
He added, "All credit to the chairman for getting him signed up.” It is believed that West Brom have paid up to 4 million pounds to sign http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ben-Foster-c7445 who will surely take up his position as the Baggies’ first team goalkeeper on a
permanent basis now as the new league season draws closer.
