I think Forster is a good signing, it would be a great signing if it wasn't just a loan deal.

It's far too easy to be critical of a goalkeeper because their mistakes are so glaring but he has to have contributed something to earning an SPL clean sheet record when he's had Maj/Loovens/Mulgrew/Rogne playing in front of him, none of whom I have real confidence in.

In fact we've all seen Man Utd's new £18m goalkeeper make almost as many mistakes in 2 games as Forster made all season.

Precisely <ok>
 
I'm not concerned about mistakes I think that is misrepersenting the reservations over the player, I think he lacks some abilities that you like in a keeper ie distrabution, arial presence at set pieces and has looked slow to get down sometimes (I can also remember a few instances he got down to things very well thought).

For mistakes he done very well.
 
His distribution is suspect but he is very young and will improve considerably. His shot stopping is excellent and his signing has improved the goalkeeping position so lets not worry too much. Now we just need a striker. What has happened to Rasmussen? Surely he could do a better job than Murphy and Sammy.
 
Ras has had many opportunities to catch Neil Lennon's eye.
This summer alone Neil has had a chance almost every day to see what he has to offer at training,
it seems Ras has not impressed to put it mildly. That and the fact he allegedly pointed out he had
a contract at Celtic and was not moving any where probably did not impress Lennon. I just don't
think he has worked hard enough at his game and isn't good enough.
 
I thought it was £1m.

I'd like to be wrong <laugh>

Quick google shows wiki says "undisclosed fee" below it is an article saying "Celtic bid £1.3 for Murphy" & another one saying "Celtic sign Murphy for £800k"

I may have got confused with FM11 as that is about the price I sell him for
 
So speaks someone who clearly knows f all about football. He is a better keeper than Mcshagger was at 23 and he has done alright.

You're right but has he pumped as many birds as McGregor had when he was 23?

Probably no, he's a big ***** looking ****. I bet Tina wouldn't say no though <desperate>
