wormy Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hell, if Celtic are still in need of a 'keeper, see if they want to do a straight swap and take Krul for a year after Forster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dazzanufc1892 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 krul should still be the number 1 in my opinion, so id gladly see harper move on. footballs tough, cant keep someone just because they didnt have enough ambition to try and move on, instead sat on the bench taking the easy wage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Forster still keeping his clean sheets above 50% in total of his career. Now that's impressive. Very exciting prospect with absurd height even for a keeper. Hope for the same as you guys, that next season will see Krul out on loan, or maybe even Harper gone(agething, looking to rebuild around young prospects). I think this guy's the future.

merlin Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 SPL games are nowhere near as one sided as you might think, forster has been tested loads during his spell at celtic. Despite a couple of early wobbles he's performed admirably, so much so i'd love to see him get a crack in out team. Unfortunately that means harper stepping aside. This - nobody can judge Forster until we have seen him play several games for us in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forster should be given a proper run in the side - I am just NOT convinced by Krul because whilst he can be a good reaction stopper, he doesn't inspire confidence with his general play or commanding the box. Until we see Forster in several first team games, I would not pick Krul over him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'd have Forster number 1 next season, Harper as back up and send Krul out on loan. Then reassess at the end of the season because we'll not always be able to keep a hold of both of them I'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertCommunicator Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm surprised at how quickly people are righting Harper off. Remember, he's a good quality and very experienced goalkeeper. Yes, he has to step aside, but hoying him out of the club could seriously harm the development of our two young keepers. You cannot underestimate the effect that he will have on them during training, at games, the way they see him go about things etc etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going nowhere, and frankly, your comment about my wanting Forster in the side 'blindly' is ridiculous. You have admitted that you made a judgment on his capabilities as a keeper on the basis of his getting sent off at Celtic and also his appearances at Norwich where you claim he had f--- all to do. If you watch ANY keeper in a game where their side is on top, they end up having F--- all to do - that's what you would expect. No, I HAVEN'T seem Forster play regularly, and neither have the majority of our fans which is why we ALL want to see what he can do so we can actually make a judgment - as will the manager - on whether he is a better keeper than either Krul or Harper. The comments from supporters of both Celtic and Norwich indicate that the majority are impressed with Forster, so for me, that is worth giving him a crack at the PL - if he fluffs it, so be it, but he deserves a chance. No, I am NOT as impressed with Krul as some seem to be because he does not inspire confidence in his penalty area handling - in that respect, Harper is a far superior keeper but we won't know how good Forster is until we see him in action.
