    Welcome Maarten.

    So will we get a younger keeper as well like Reed said we wanted?

    I was hoping we'd sign Bentley from Southend, he reminds me of a young Joe Hart - DTLW have a word with him.

    Having a World Cup finalist goalkeeper as backup sure beats Gazza or SKD!

    Get him back to his form of 5 years ago then this will be fun.

    No doubt who RK and Les see as the long term at No1, Loan suggests Fraser is still the main man. Also gives big FF time to get himself right for the return. Likely means the end of Gazza in the long run I feel.

    Very sensible, and happy with this signing. He may not be on the same level as Forster was, especially as he hasn't played regularly for a while, but is he better than Kelvin and Gazzaniga? Most likely.

    Welcome Maarten.

    I can relax now...it was giving me sleepless nights. A GK on loan is perfect...a good stand in till Forster is fit and we get to look at him without committing ourselves.

    Very happy with this. Experience, similar style to FF, known to RK, premiership experience. Shows how far we've come as a club that we're probably still keeping half an eye out for young long term competition for FF in addition.

    Not an exciting signing, but a solid and much needed one!

    Very happy with this....Should be safe hands to get us through the difficult period without Forester without breaking the bank...win - win

    Am happy with this loan, experienced player who will fill in for FF - I'm not bothered about his stats when with Fulham, as he was playing behind a gash defence and we haven't had to shell out a big fee for him.

    He can save penalties. That's always useful.

    Penalty shoot out against Liverpool to take us to the Europa Cup final. He saves Lallana's to take us through :)

    Nice idea. No chance they'll get that far though!

    He wouldn`t have 50-odd caps if he wasn`t up to it. Good signing, I think.
