    Yeah that as well, but personally think atracking options are more important. Worried about where our goals are coming from.

    I don't think we'd sign a £10m GK to sit on the bench. Got to feel a bit for Boruc i guess!

    Same, but drawing 0-0 is better than losing 5-1!

    Really do not understand some people on twitter - "Will be interesting to see if he can make the step up from SPL to EPL"

    Are the goals a difference size in England or something. f**k.

    Ronald Koeman:

    "Fraser is a very talented player and we are delighted to be able to bring him to Southampton. This is another important part of our rebuilding process ahead of the start of the season."

    "The fact that he has worked with Dave Watson before means we already know all about his strengths and weaknesses, and I am confident that we will be able to help him improve even further."

    "Fraser is the perfect fit to help complement the players we already have, and he will add a lot of quality to the squad."

    "He is an exciting English player with a very good reputation within the game and, at 26, he will enjoy the best years of his career at Southampton."

    Still a proven keeper in the position where league quality makes the smallest of differences.

    No but shots are stronger and more accurate.

    Who was the best striker he faced in Scotland? Kris Boyd, Stevie May and John Sutton scored the most from a non-Celtic player so I guess it was him. So we've got Kris Boyd, Stevie May and John Sutton compared to Sergio Aguero, Robin Van Persie and Daniel Sturridge. Hmmm, just a small step up in quality there.

    I agree, but I generally think (not always the case) that it's goals that keep you up, two 2-1 wins are better than a 1 nil win n 2 0-0's.

    "I really want to thank the Club and the Celtic fans for all they have given me over the past four years. It has been a wonderful honour to play for one of the world's great football clubs and I wish everyone at Celtic and the supporters every success for the future."

    “I have received tremendous support during my time at the Club and it has been a brilliant experience being part of a squad which has won titles and trophies and taken part in the Champions League."

    "I know the Club wanted me to stay, and I know the Club has done everything they possibly can to keep me, but I felt now was the right time for a new challenge in the English Premier League."

    "I would like to pay a special tribute to Stevie Woods and the Club's fitness coach Bill Styles for their hard work and commitment during my time at Celtic."

    "I hope the Manager, the players, the staff and of course the fans enjoy more and more great times ahead. I have accepted a new opportunity away from Celtic, but I am a Celtic supporter for life and will be cheering the Club on in everything they do."

    Adam & Dejan take note, this is how you leave a club with the fans clapping you as you walk away. (although its a bit soppy for my liking!) <laugh>
