    Elhamed was the reason I * created this and I’m calling it an amazing signing this early on. Guys a * machine.

    Forster back on loan if I'm honest. He kind of passed under the radar for me.

    I hadn't seen him play in England, really, and had heard that injury had ruined him.

    He's a bona fide world-class keeper on top form.

    Last few times I seen him he just looked like he hadn’t played a lot and was second guessing himself, we all knew what he was capable of.

    He has a reputation to claw back. I’d actually say big lad is better than Boruc.

    He's 31 now; he could be our goalkeeper for the next decade if Southampton are stupid enough to let him go.

    Aye and I don’t think he’d fancy leaving this time round.

    Aye, why would he? He's done the Premier League. I'm sure he's comfortable, financially, and he'll be well paid at Celtic.

    This is his home.

    Forster for me, was actually fine with Bain til January at the very least but when i heard Forster was coming back i was pretty underwhelmed, i will happily admit to being completely off the mark, he's a clear upgrade on Gordon and Bain for me.

    As for Elhamed, i was actually happy enough when he signed, didn't expect him to be as good as he currently is and i was expecting him to be second choice, but i was still fairly happy with him.
