I think he is a great keeper. I would be even happier if he was another 2 or 3 inches taller.

el diablo:

If SAF refuses to sign Akinfeev in favour of Foster then he needs sectioning tbh. You'd have to be clinically insane to continue with Foster when a player like Akinfeev is available.

  really hope we get himbefore other clubs see his potential and bid for him. The last thing Manchester United want is a Bidding war. He is a top class keaper and has a lot of time for improvement. Sign him up FERGIE

he reminds me of casillias at his best

He was absolutely fantastic. We better buy him once VDS retires.

 one thing......... we need igor akinfeev, hes already a great keeper, only 23 and kuzcack and foster rnt up to replacing van der sar..... united cant have another period with mediocre keepers again (tim howard, roy carrol), its no coincidence that when vando came we started winning the league again

 Even though Fergie has said that we are ok for keepers right now i still think he has Akinfeev in his mind if VDS does end up retiring after this season i think we will sign himas Fergie clearly rates him highly so who knows.Even though i still think that Foster will become our future number one i still think we will need another keeper and i think Akinfeev could be the one even though there are the likes of Neuer Cesar Lopez Adler etc all having been linked with us in the past couple of weeks any of these keepers would be perfect to replace VDS.I also rate Jaaskeleinen very highly aswell.

I still think we are in the market for another keeper even though we have Foster and Kuszczak already here and Fergie has said that the future is Foster's but for that to happen he has to be alot more consistent and improve his descion making abit more the rest of his game etc is brilliant its just these two things that are troubling him in my opinion if he can work on them then he can be one of the best keepers in the world in my opinion while in Kuszczak i think he knows and we know that he will never be our number one but he is still a good back up though.

says on the daily mail website that we have opened talks to sign him,could just still be speculation until there is official comment

 sounds promising but could be gossip

 I think he is on our rader Fergie clearly rates him its just that we are okay for the moment.I think if VDS does decide to retire after this season then we will look at out keeper situation.I do think that Foster will be our future number 1 but i also think that we will sign a new keeper when VDS does retire

silvester:

 I agree that Akinfeev is a brilliant young keeper and if VDS does retire then i think we will sign him but i still think Foster will be our future number 1.

i agree but is foster up to the task?? hes shown us for england that he can go through out a game with no mistakes. so maybe? i dont no
