    Apparently Southampton looking to do a deal to bring Butland in. Forster will need to get move if he wants to play.

    What a stupid call from him to stay there. He could've led us past Ferencvaros.

    Thinking the same. He would have been on same money as well with it being another loan plus he'd get the chance to put himself in the spotlight again.

    He'd have saved both shots that went in.

    I’d get him back on loan and give barkas the full season to settle in! Not ideal for a new keeper to come in and play behind a different defence every week!

    He had his chance, if going for 10 & European football wasn’t enough of a pull to come back here permanently then he can enjoy the Southampton bench for another year.

    What if he came in and said "look it was the Mrs being a banger, can I come back Neil...?"

    Think lenny would probably get a ladder out and attempt to heidbutt big Fraser.

    Whilst I agree with the sentiment of that, the reality is we can’t afford to be turning our nose up at a player as good as Forster if he became available. Only my opinion

    To be honest I’d understand it more if he said it was for his family, suppose we wont know until he says the reason.

    No chance he’s coming though that’s for sure.

    I would actually have thought he'd have saved at least one of them, not that I blame Barkas, just I think Forster is better and would have been more likely to stop one.

    I couldn’t agree more. Went right down in my estimations after turning us down for what he hoped would be either a game for the fantastic world beaters that are Southampton or a bigger pay cheque with a transfer. Not disputing his ability just the fact he really doesn’t want to be here or he’d have come when we offered. Ultimately, he has no allegiance to Celtic or what the club or Neil Lennon has done for him.
    Do I hope he rots in the reserves for the rest of his career, probably not but his lack of loyalty to the club after us rescuing him from reserve team football twice has sickened me.

    If that was the reason then he could have explained it to Lennon and while he'd be disappointed, he and we would understand it.

    He couldn't even pick up the phone to respond to our offer. Beyond disrespectful given what Celtic and Lennon have done for him.

    I think it's pretty clear his agent caught wind of some potential interest from EPL clubs and told Forster to hang fire, he did and it's not materialised and he's now going to have to live with it.

    We move on...

    It’s such a pointless thing to even consider. You and @Leone Naka Fan have no idea if he’d of saved them. No keeper is guaranteed to make any save.

    To put that CL exit on Barkas is pathetic. I’ll get yous two a stream for some Southampton reserves games to watch Forster.

    Hehe calm down. Just saying he is a better grade of keeper at this time in his career(Barkas is still young for a keeper) and given his heroics before it wouldn't be wild to think he might have saved one of those shots.
