Forster's out of contract next June, isn't he? So if he moves on a season-long loan then he is effectively sold on a free. His wages are pretty big, so it would be good to save on part of those as Celtic won't cover all of them. We'd need a new back up though.
must mean a new keeper signing, unless they think one of youngsters can play back up. Seems strange for him to outperform McCarthy last season and then be shipped back out again.
Or it means the story is a load of rubbish. Even putting aside the fact that we'd be loaning out someone for the remainder of their contract (which itself is questionable), I highly doubt we'd have sold Gunn if it was also our intention to not have Fraser either. It's not like we got an unbelievable offer which we couldn't say no to - we almost had to give him away. So yeah, I'm calling it a load of rubbish.
I thought that Big Fraser would start this season as the first choice GK given that he outperformed Alex at the end of last season. I don't see much sense in shipping him out again on loan either Brendy.
It all depends really. In an ideal world I imagine we would be looking to bring in a new no.1, ship one of FF or AM out and have the other as backup. But do we have the money to spend on a GK? I really hope Ralph isn't planning on continuing with the whole sharing out the number 1 position thing between the two of them.
Depending on a loan fee and how much wages Celtic are paying it could be that we see it as a good opportunity to save/generate some money. Cheap back ups shouldn’t be that hard to come by
From memory wasn't FF one of our top earners (£80k+ pw)? Getting him off the books would make a big difference to our frail financial situation
Well they have spent hundreds of millions of pounds over the last two seasons with nothing to show for it
