    Krul as #1, Harper #2. Forster has no experience in the league and I have seen a few errors in games this year from him, maybe loan him to a club in the PL.

    This. Why compare them at a lower level when you could loan Forster in the Premier League and compare at the level they'll actually be playing at.

    Also I cant believe people would put Forster in as first choice next season on the back of a season in the SPL where he hasnt even been that special, whereas Krul and Harper are both having a good season in the PL now.

    I wish there was a way we could send both out on loan - Krul and Forster - both to Prem teams so we can compare their qualities, Harps will be number 1 for us with a free agent as cover? or Sodeberg we wouldn't pay Krul/Forsters wages whilst they're out on loan.

    Pards can sit them both down and say look boys - obviously you both want the number 1 jersey after Harps retires/can't handle the Premier league pace anymore. Now is the time to show me why you deserve it... They will both be going out on loan with the view that they want to impress - not they are on loan as they are 3rd choice so to speak. We can also have a clause in their contracts to recall them if needed.

    Get Forster at Norwich and Krul at the other promoted side.

    Its a good idea but you cant guarantee the promoted sides would take our reserves keepers. QPR certainly seem happy with Kenny for one.

    Harper all the way for me - Krul isn't good enough yet to take the #1 shirt and Forster hasn't been tried in the Premier League yet.

    I voted Harper, I reckon at the minute he's better than Krul. I havn't seen much of Forster so couldn't have picked him

    Krul all the way for me - he has been awesome since he was 17. Was close to being Netherlands number 1 when he was on bench for us. Yeah, he can improve and does odd bad thing, but no1 can tell me Harper never does anything bad?

    Harper is too injury prone for me to be our number 1, we need a keeper who is going to play 38 games out of 38

    Forster is the worst of the 3, I have Celtic mates and they say he is no where ready for the Prem and his kicking is very poor. I have seen him play and wasn't too impressed by him

    Krul all the way for me, as it has been pointed out we would have been beaten by Man U and Blackpool recently if it wasn't for him - also, Arsenal away he was brilliant. Plus, 99 games out of 100 he is solid

    I'm not sure who I'd play of the 3 to be fair...good problem to have as the old cliche goes.

    I think what WILL happen is Harper's last season with Forster as back up, Krul on loan and then a GK battle to the death in 2012/13!

    But sending one of the young lads to Norwich or QPR? You must be mad!

    I'm optimistic that we'll have a good season but I wouldn't want to strengthen the teams below us with players of Krul/Forster's quality!

    Championship or SPL for me.

    Feel abit sorry for Krul as he hasn't done alot wrong and could potentially be one of the best keepers in the league, he got my vote.
