Now he's played a very good game, i must say im thrilled. He is by a long way the best keeper at the club. He was class for Celtic and Fiorentina, you don't lose that. All you who don't want him because your mate Jimmy a die hard Celtic fan told you he smoked is ridiculous. All i care about is that he tries hard in training, and performs in the games. Maybe, now, some of you idiots who sarcastically cheer him on, and boo various other players will give it a rest, as your misplaced hatred towards some players is slapped back in your face, AGAIN.
Boruc was outstanding today. Just got back from the game and he made one outstanding save in particular and was far more solid and commanding today. He was slightly fortunate that Benteke messed up the rebound from his great save.
If we get Pompey in any cup, Boruc first name on the team sheet for me:L If he can pull anything like the cross he did to the Rangers fans', then that right there is a moment that'll go down in Saintlore.
Artur signed for Saints until June. Before pre-season begins. He was previously a free agent after deciding to leave Fiorentina. So he now has 4 months left on his deal.
I can see us getting him to sign an extension and soon. He has improved with every game and if there is still more to come, and I think that there is, we can't afford to let him walk away.
I think Boruc could do a good job for us, but there's no need to go overboard. He's signed for this season...I need a few more matches before making any rash decisions.
Quite agree - i have prefered SKD all season myself, but Boruc has done OK since getting back into the team and deserves his run. But lets just take it one game at a time and not get him too over hyped just yet !
It's not just the cross, he wouldn't shake hands with their players either. "But, to be honest with you, I just don't shake hands with people I don't like." "There is no obligation to do it." "I don't have to do anything if I don't like them. I won't be spending Christmas with them or anything like that." "I just don't like the way Rangers players play football" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...uc-I-dont-shake-hands-people-I-dont-like.html
Some of us already knew this about him and had faith ! The good thing is he could very easily become a hero as there may be great disparity between people's initial misconceptions that he is ****e and how good and important he could potentially become for us.
That is one of his greatest attributes, he is very good at the old 'Making yourself big', he gets down and makes a great body shape, almost doing the splits with arms out wide. Some keepers attempts are kind of flailing and limp, Boruc is very strong and decisive in those situations. Back in his Celtic days when I watched him, his shot saving was always good but his 1on1 ability was always what really impressed me, with most keepers you back the striker most of the time, but Boruc always seemed the most likely and most dominant party in those days. Hopefully that form, confidence and dominance can be rekindled!
I think that because of his mentality and hence not knowing to expect from him, he'll either be the one who keeps us up or the one who sends us down. I think it's more likely to be the former.
