    Seen a Greek journalist saying Bournemouth were heavily interested in him when Howe was in charge :fear:

    Still very likely he'll be gone and that's for the best..

    Time to move on, surely now is the time to play him and see what he has about him. But playing that rocket Bain ahead of him tells me he is useless.
    So, punt, along with Bain and Haz. They have had their chance. We cannot afford more game time for that lot. That might bring in 3 or 4M.
    Get Begovic, Marshall for free, good competition there, and have that young Norwegian kid as 3rd choice.
    A quality keeper is worth 12-15 points a season. Touch myself everytime I see big FF.

    Barky is a * human polo mint everything goes through him and if he can't get ahead of bain then time to ship him back to Greece and would like a new number one and two for next season .

    Yeah, what is that even all about? I’ve honestly never seen a keeper so reluctant to stretch his arms out.
    He seems to always want to save with his hands at shoulder level at the very highest. It’s weird.

    Even when you look back at his highlight reel I don't feel its that impressive from playing at his last club.

    I also had a look at his highlight reel. He looks good with his feet, commanding his area, one on ones but the only saves he made was when it was right at him.

    So who the * scouted him? Just seems to me he cannot dive, no spring in the guy. Maybe needs some time in the swimming pool.

    But it's Stevie Woods who coaches the Gks, not Lennon or Rodgers.

    Barkas is just pish.

    Well that's something at least.

    With us he doesn't even bother to do that.

    On the basis he stays or goes on his performance at that point I'd agree.

    I just feel like he could be given a shot in these final 5 games then the cup game against them.

    Let him prove that he has it in him. We know all about Bain and already know he isn't going to be good enough to be number 1.

    OK barkas has been rotten and I've been as critical as anyone but I'd at least give him one last chance.

    I would give him a chance under new management, he’s played 13 times for Greece he can’t be totally *.

    I'm agreeing. Just saying if he doesn't take that chance (if given) we should get rid of him in the summer.

    Currently, I think we should get rid of him in the summer too if he doesn't get that chance, but do agree that one last chance is a good idea. Make or break so to speak.

    If yous think he's bad just now , imagine how he'll be if crowds return at Celtic Park. Any mistakes and hes *, hes already a laughing stock.

    Considering Bain gets a shot every few weeks, it's only fair that Barkas does.

    These are dead rubber games, I literally see no point in starting anyone but Barkas in goals every game until the end of the season.

    He should definitely be playing from now to the end of the season to see if he can settle and find a bit of form or confidence, not just him but as many fringe/young players as possible should be getting run outs in the last few league games since it's gone anyway.
