Hope we have a target in mind to back up Forster, because there a big difference in locker room comity between an upset Schneiderlin (or Cork, or whatever) and an enraged Boruc.
We're not "pushing a loyal person", we're trying to improve the club. The club that pay your wages. The club that is the number one priority in all this. Not you. This isn't all about you. If you believe yourself to be better than what's being brought in, go prove it on the training ground you moaning bunch of twats. Make yourselves the indispensable one.
We don't; hence why I said that we should have a target in mind, rather than actively trying to move Boruc. But we ought to have a plan, because otherwise he'll start eating people.
Prove it on the training ground? Come on. Koeman immediately said Forster is first choice. Unless Forster ****s up consistently he will start. Boruc is competing for an international place and has come into Saints, made a massive difference to the club and played well enough to be called one of the best keepers in the league by quite a few pundits. Why shouldn't he be upset when he's replaced for no apparent reason?
But as has been said already it's for a very good reason. What club would dream about being counted among the best without having too decent goalies? It's called depth, and it is not beyond us.
But that depends on Boruc being perfectly happy to see his international career end as he transitions to a backup role. What we want and what he's likely to want are two different things, and while I'm a believer in putting the foot down on outbound transfers, I don't think that Boruc is the sort to take kindly to it.
This "no apparent reason" is that the man who picks the team thinks the other player is better than him. That is the managers job. I think it's good that Ron has told him.
As I've said several times that's a very good argument for replacing Davis and Gazzaniga but not an argument for replacing Boruc. Right but Boruc hasn't done anything wrong under Koeman and has contributed a lot to our recent success. I agree that it's better everyone knows where they stand but I find the double standard here a bit strange. The other day/week Javier Hernandez was linked with Juve and people said he shouldn't go there because he won't play. There were a few comments about Chambers moving to Arsenal to sit on the bench too. But when one of our players wants to leave (perhaps) because he's been told he won't play he gets criticised as well. It's bizarre.
If we want a strong squad we need competition for each spot in the side. Ron clearly feels Fraser has more going for him than Artur atm.
Has Boruc said yet he wants to leave? All I said was that the manager has made his decision. Got to back that whether Boruc has done anything wrong or not.
Majority of the Instagram users believe he is referring to some of the negative comments he has received from Celtic fans over the Legia Warsaw incident and it's nothing to do with Saints.
