Fraser Forster

Has he done enough to earn a permanent stay?

We've seen him for a season and a half now and I've got to say, I am desperate for us to sign him permanently. He's got better and better since he got here, the potential was always there. He broke our clean-sheet record last season and has looked even more impressive this season.

 

Is there a set price in place?

 

yes he is improving every match and seems to have a great work ethic. for 2 million with the potential he has it would be a steal

 

yes

 

Yes.

He has been solid all season, his kicking has improved from last year and he has obviously been working at punching cross balls from set pieces because he has looked great at that lately.

He is a fantastic shot stopper too, that save against the huns was world class.

He might be a bit slow to get down to low shots because of his size but you can't have it all.

 

last season i'd have said no. as i didn't feel we had time to wait for him to develop. fair play to him, he's proved me wrong. i think he has come on leaps and bounds and, for me, he is our most improved player this season.

for the fixed £2m purchase clause in his loan agreement, it's a yes from me.

 

I havent voted in the poll, simply because I was undecided on the big man. There is no point me being two faced about this issue, and I dont intend to be. However, on what I have seen over the last few months, I have been greatly impressed with his performances, and I see a big improvement in his game. Prove me wrong big man, keep up these performances.

 

Always been a yes for me.

 

After Udinese I didnt think he had to convince anyone anymore!

 

15 to 0 so far.

Glad the big man has nearly everyone convinced now it seems, there was some people that would have had Zaluska before him at one point. Fraser Forster CSC!

 

18 yes votes and 0 no votes so far says it all

A much better keeper than Zaluska. He has been much better this season and I would love to see him signing for us permanently

 

16 NIL now Tab, I've voted for him now

 

Still not 100% convinced by him if I'm honest. As soon as he makes a mistake his head will be on the chopping board again, no doubt.

Saying that though I would rather keep him than go out and sign an unknown young quantity like Sandomierski. Even though unknown quantities can turn out to be great players of course. I like that we already know what Fraser brings to the table already basically.

 

Aye I like him and think we'd struggle to get someone better especially for under £2million as I cant see us spending much on a keeper.

 

is a must sign in the summer.

 

Welcome aboard.

 

I honestly haven't been a huge fan of the big man, always thought he was a decent shot stopper but his communication and decision making seemed to let him down. Recently, probably as a result of the team performing as a whole, he's looked very assured and confident. His distribution has been really good at times, good long throws to start attacks. Seeing the progress he's made this season, I'd be in favor of him sticking around.

 

FF will always have his critics, every keeper does. But he has shown real committment and a determination to make the #1 spot his. Pretty sure I've mentioned this before but worth another mention anyway Fraser is nearly always the first to arrive and last to leave training, spending a lot of his own time trying to improve his game. Obviously something is working because he has came on leaps and bounds since last season.

For someone so young and who has the potential to become a really great keeper £2 Million would be a bargain and his value can only increase as his maturity & game experience develops.

Last thing we need is to be searching for another keeper come the end of the season.

 

Always thought he was decent,better than what we have,but not great,but probably the best we are going to get.

 

Beginning to trust the big man now. Last season i thought at times he was a bomb-scare, but he seems to be getting better game by game.
Yes he makes mistakes, but so does Hooper, Forrest, Mulgrew as do all players... it's just that when they make mistakes they don't tend to lead to the fans * themselves!
It's easy to mistrust a goalkeeper these days - especially the speed the game is played now. It makes the best keepers look like fools.

I'd keep him for anything up to and under £2million.
