    So Bart and Dovey are gone and we now have Forecast as back up. Who should we bring in. An experienced pro like Graig Gordon or a hungry youngster?

    I would take Craig Gordon, only 29 and is a cracking keeper.

    Can't believe they got rid of Dovey. Absolutely top prospect. I hope he can get another club. So much luck involved in making that step up.

    Celtic want him apparently. As a Scotsman it may appeal to him, UCL football (for some time), on offer too.

    Pretty much guaranteed some medals and trophies the way things are developing at Rangers too.

    Joe Lewis is more realistic.

    No thanks. He's been berated by Posh fans all season for his many howlers and having watched clips of this season I'd rather we didn't.

    Wouldn't surprise me to see another keeper from abroad come in in all honesty.

    But I know nothing of transfer targets. Now the issue of released lists have been dealt with by clubs I imagine in the next few weeks or so transfer negotiations may begin to materialise.

    Gordon will return to Scotland, no reason for him to be a backup for us at this stage of his career. I'm calling it now, we will sign a young goalkeeper playing in the first team of a League One/League Two team.

    I know this is contoversial but i would like to see a top goal keeper in to replace/push Kelvin for the first team place.

    He was also quoted as saying that he would love to stay in the EPL. <ok> If we put in an offer we have a chance I think.

    Why would Craig Gordon go to Celtic to sit on the bench?

    My choice would be Jack Butland from Birmingham, currently on the back-up team for the Euro's. Has plenty of potential and we have been linked with him recently, just got to stop the Manchester clubs from nicking him.

    Or I would go for Thibault Courtois on loan from Chelsea, fantastic season at A.Madrid and Chelsea want him to have Prem experience, we could be that club to do that.

    didn't Celtic sign him permanently? This why I said Gordon won't go there.

    I'd be shocked if the club don't even consider gordon, a keeper yet to hit his prime who was at one point the british transfer record for a keeper. For free!? Sign him up.

    He's not the player he was, but in spite of that he'll be in demand. Better off looking elsewhere.
