    Would take him despite all the previous, he’d be a good back up for Barkas.

    I'll believe it when I see it, after all, it was in the sun.

    Yes I do, that still doesn't mean Forster thought highly of Lennon as a manager, as a person perhaps, but as a manager most probably not.

    Great keeper but he didn't want to play his part in going for the ten, electing to go where the money is and warm the bench for a year.

    It would be friggin' amazing if we did manage to bring him back... but... and it's a big but. The source is the Sun, which has about as much credibility as... well, it doesn't have any credibility at all. And even in that link, there is a quote that says it all really...

    "Owner Dermot Desmond is famed for paying top dollar for players he likes, and Forster would be a huge hit with the fans."

    1. DD is not the Owner. He is not even the majority shareholder. As of may this year he owns about 38%, giving him control of the single biggest slice of the pie so to speak and which gives him significant say, but that is a far cry from being either the majority shareholder or the Owner.

    2. The last time I can think of Desmond sticking his hand in his pocket that deep for a player was for Robbie Keane more than a decade ago, and that was for a loan that only lasted 4 months. The most recent instance where he had gotten personally involved was when was getting Rodgers to come to Celtic after that Scottish Cup SF loss on penalties to Sevco... and that was only because the Sevco directors were giving the big one to him after the match.

    3. So the author of the source has no idea about Celtic, about how things work here, but has just written that to sell copy. Linking FF with us for a third time is an easy thing to do, but it is likely that this has more to do with trying to convey message to Southampton, their fans and any & all other clubs down south to alert them that Southampton are open for business when it comes to getting FF off their books.

    In my opinion, it is purely a cynical fiction, that we (Celtic) are being invoked as a catalyst for that and nothing more. :87:

    But that all said, if FF was to return... yes please!

    He wasn't just a bench warmer, he won his place back.

    He probably thought he had a chance at the Euros by going back to Southampton

    Don’t see why Ange would be that keen on him. If he wants his keeper to be comfortable with the ball and play high up the pitch. Forster isn’t that type of keeper at all.

    13, but he did win his place back to be fair to him.
    Anybody who doesn't want him back because he didn't join last year is mental. He was ace the season before and let's be honest we would have done far better with him last season.

    Hes like that time you was a teenager. You had that top notch bird who always wanted herself someone better but nae * wanted her permanently even tho she was a naughty one. So she would keep coming back for a we shot of you but never had any commitment. You never complained because she was great fun n you've not found a replacement yourself and its better than palm n her 5 pals yet but deep down it still left you a bit hurt she would leave you for a college boy all the time :fear:

    Get her back in... I mean him :fear:

    Her name was Katy. Cow. :56: :56:

    Don’t think anyone doubts he’s a better keeper but it’s completely understandable if people simply don’t want him returning after what he pulled last year.

    He pulled nothing, he wanted to fight for his place. Our recruitment team were the ones who didn't have a back up idea.

    Would love him back. Barkas can challenge him for number 1. Get Bain so far to *

    In a heartbeat. Could literally be the difference between qualifying and not.

    Thought about it.

    Would hve took him in a heartbeat at first, but then we’d be in the same position again next season when he’s away back to Southampton.

    Nah, time for us to get a settled keeper in. I’m desperate for Barkas to succeed, really am. Bring in another GK to challenge for no.1 because Bain just won’t do.
