Optimistic Nut Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Krul still to concede a goal since the WBA game isn't he? Including friendlies of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I don't see what the point of loaning Forster is if we've decided Krul is the better keeper. Forster would only come back from the loan even more desperate to be number 1 and would likely just request a transfer when this didn't happen. We need to back Krul, keep Harper as number 2 for a few years and then sign a reliable number 2 once Harps is done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hobshobs Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Must admit, he looked very slow to get down to shots in pre-season. Agree but still a hell of a lot quicker than Harper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Were never going to keep both of them. Better than Harper but we're leaving in dreamland if we thought he'd be second choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 In the limited viewings I've had of him, I've seen nothing to suggest he's better than Harper tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertCommunicator Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Unless Krul has a shocker of a season, I can't see Forster getting a look in. Soderberg may well eventually end up being our No. 2 keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Aye and we've also got Alnwick. Harper could be number 2 for 2-3 years yet and then Alnwick will be at the age where he'd be looking at pushing Krul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 The Leeds game did the damage, which is a shame. But Harper could still hang around for 3-4 years (he'll hardly be knackered considering he spent years and years on the bench) so something had to give. The sensible option would involve a buy-back clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Fraser Forster will head to Celtic for the season with the Hoops having an option to buy him for £2 million at the end of the season. Guess this pre-season will be the last time we see Forster in a NUFC strip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Excellent news if true. Gets to play regularly and it's highly unlikely his value would drop as a result since it's not very high to begin with. If he performs well it could go up. Harper is fine as second choice.

If he is sold and we have a sell on clause, then I have no problem with him going to Celtic. If it is just another loan though, I'd far prefer him to go to top two tier English league side. That said, I know it's not as easy as that, and I'm not sure he'd have that many decent clubs offering a chance of a first team spot after his so-so performances north of the border this past year.
