    After his slightly controversial start to Saints life he really has fitted in nicely, it seems he isn't particularly amused by Dejan's antics. Boruc strikes me as the kind of guy that actually "gets" football fans, probably because he is a lunatic supporter in his spare time anyway. I think one of the reasons there is such a lack of loyalty these days is that due to football careers starting so young, few players have experienced turning out week on week in the stands watching their favourite clubs and experiencing that bond that develops.

    I don't know. We had one good season and could make at least £10m. That's a bloody good return

    I just think Boruc is likely to be his own man. Does his own thing.

    He's a big family man apparently. He seems to live a much calmer life now compared to his reported antics with Celtic.

    True, can you imagine the look on his face if another clubs player was trying to tap him up. Can't imagine he's the kind of guy that would listen to anyone, except the Pope maybe, he could probably tap him up.

    Certainly comes across like that. Always posting photos of himself with his wife and children saying how much he loves them etc.

    You guys were on track for your first PL title for 26 years until the talismanic bottler that encapsulates your club had his eye on some 16 year old in the crowd fell over and gifted it to city, prompting your best player **** off.

    I agree with Olly really. Boruc is fine as first choice and while were unlucky with his injury last season, keepers tend not to miss that many games. Really we just need capable backup and you don't need to spend £8m to get a capable reserve keeper.

    Hate to say it, but I thought Boruc looked unfit when he came back after injury. I think that might be a long-term issue we have with him, and I'd rather have a keeper that keeps him focussed and on his toes, than merely a 'capable backup'.

    Boruc is what, 34 now? He has 12 months left on his contract. He's mentioned before I believe, playing for his side, Legia Warsaw, before he retires.

    So, if we get a keeper in now - he and Boruc compete, and in 12 months time we let Artur go back to Poland.

    The new player then takes over after a season here. And for this season? May the best man win.

    Why do some people think we don't need another keeper. I side with Fran and CBK and say we bloody well do
