Just a thought, accepting it looks like any Foster deal would be permanent,- is there a limit to the number loan players a club can have at any one time?

Maximum of 4 in total, with a maximum of 3 from any single club.

So I guess we were always going to have to make some permanent signings to fill out a competitive 25 man squad, and Foster would be a good one to choose, world class goalkicker, good finisher, room for improvement. I would be very happy with this signing if it comes off.

Given that the nailed-on 100% fake Lee Gaskell twitter account said Foster has signed for us, I'm thinking he's signed for Hull.

It's a fake account, but the sentiment could be spot on

Ryan Atkins on Twitter (and it's NOT a fake account (@rararyan85))

I was just saying that some Saints players follow that account: why would they follow an account that was a fake? Unless of course it is an inside joke similar to the Royce Simmons one? But then again if it was an inside joke I doubt they'd go as far as to post that! Luckily the account only has 50+ followers.

Anyway, sorry to change topic....

Tweet from Elliott Whitehead a few minutes ago seems to confirm the deal...

[iWelcome aboard @jamiefoster22 but make sure u get a new car for next week cz u ain't having same as me hahaha [/i

Welcome to the Bulls Mr Foster!!!

I'm very pleased with this signing. As others have said, he can certainly finish a try. I think he'd go well on Lulia's wing. He may end up being first choice goal kicker, although I do rate Luke Gale, a bit of competition can only be a good thing. He's a young lad with plenty of improvement in him which hopefully FC can really help him with.

Finally, and I know it's hardly number one priority when looking at new signings, but he's VERY marketable. That can't possibly be a bad thing!

Great News Very happy about this young 22 winger still got loads of years ahead of him

Not sure about this one yet. Hopefully FC can get the best out of him.

I hope we have signed him, before he went out of favour at Saints he was the best thing since sliced bread. I think he is a confidence player, if its up he`s good if its down he struggles. Just wonder after doin so well at Hull if they regret commiting to Crookes and not taking Foster. On top form he is streets ahead of Crookes IMHO.

Don't see what foster has that Ainscough didn't. Both decent finishers, both sane speed although I think Ainscough edges it on pace. Neither great in defence or under the high ball. But Ainscough works a lot harder I feel than Foster. Son't be expecting Foster to chase down runners.

However Foster will do a job for us.

Funnily enough they have very similar sentiments on the Hull board....
