  1. Krul has been playing in a tougher league, with a better team. He's shown he's capable here.

    Forster for loan to a PL club. Qpr?

    I think it'd more likely be Norwich or the other promoted team as QPR have Paddy Kenny. Still prefer Forster to stay though.

    So you're saying that Krul deserves the no.2 slot because of his games this season? but how can you accurately distinguish between the two without giving Forster that same opportunity?

  5. Harper should be sent to the carribeans for a break, and Krul and Forster should battle it out in pre-season, how about that?

    However, based on their first team action, Krul has impressed me more, not just because he's played for us. Forster looks average, Krul could be the next Van Der Sar, IMO.

    Also Krul will be getting a chance to play for the Dutch international team with their 1st choice out for taking drugs.

    No one can be the next VDS he is easily one of the best keepers of all time if not the best, how you can compare 23/24 year old keeper to him I do not know. Krul isn't nor will ever be as good as VDS!!

    Harper for me next season. I still feel safest when he is between the sticks. One of Krul and Forster to go on loan the other as backup. Although I doubt Krul will want to go out on loan having tasted first team football here I would like him to go out so that we can have a better look at Forster. Pardew has a tough call to make this summer!

    Nah, Krul needs an extended run in a 1st team to prove he can do it week in week out, and Harper's still easily 1st choice.

    Pardew hasnt actually worked with Forster yet, so it'll probably come down to who impresses him most in preseason.

    If he improves his decision making Krul will be a great keeper and that should just come naturally to him when he is more experienced.

    For me KRUL.... Forster is unproven in this league... Scottish league have the same level as league one strikers in it..Even the Rangers strikers arn't priemership standard

    Krul has had some motm games and fair enough hes looked dodgy at times, but he is only going to get better and better

    Harper's agility is worry and I defiantley think its time for someone else to take there chance

    Krul has done it at the top level and proven how good he can be against Arsenal and Man U. If he becomes consistent then for me it's Krul.

    Harper no.1 and Forster needs to prove he can do it in the PL before we throw him in at the deep end. Krul has already proved himself at PL level IMO, Forster needs to match or beat that on loan in the PL, I would offer him to Norwich on loan. So far he's only played in League One and for Celtic, they keep about 20 clean sheets a season, he's not being tested properly.

    Krul by a mile. Forster can stay, go or go on loan im not fussed. Not all that impressive to be honest. People think as he's local he'll be class. Krul is class and improving.

    Harper number 1 next season, Krul back-up, Forster on loan to Norwich.

    Another option is to send Krul on loan to Celtic, so we can compare him and Forster against the same opposition.

    I used to think it'd be good but it would be a wasted year for Krul, Celtic only have one hard game all year. A better and more helpful comparison would be seeing how Forster does in the PL, (at Norwich?) where Krul has proved himself.
