West Brom fans have been reacting on Twitter to the reports coming from The Sun over the weekend which suggested that Watford are planning a £10 million bid for Ben Foster this summer.

The Baggies are preparing for life in the Championship and Darren Moore will be hoping to keep as much of his squad together as possible. There is arguably a lot of quality in the ranks and their form in the final weeks of the campaign hints that they could potentially take the second tier by storm.

One of the players that Moore will be particularly desperate to keep however, is Foster. The 35-year-old has been a superb servant over the last seven years, but the Hornets are reportedly ready to test the Baggies’ resolve to keep the stopper.

The Sun reports that Watford are preparing a £10 million offer for Foster, but West Brom have a potential advantage over most of the top flight sides linked with moves given that they can guarantee the former Manchester United trainee regular first-team football.

And it appears that most of the West Brom fans are not overly concerned about the reports. In April, the Express and Star reported that the goalkeeper planned to stay at The Hawthorns regardless of what division they found themselves in, and many expect Foster to remain loyal even with his former club calling.

There are some fans who feel that Foster may have his head turned, or that West Brom should take the money, but the majority believe that Foster will still be between the Baggies’ sticks at the start of next season.
