    He’s not just as poor, he’s streets ahead of him and we need much, much better than Bain.

    The only way he has any chance here is if by some chance he is fused with the goddess durga in some scenario like the movie (the fly )but would probably fail to open the door on the machine as it would mean having to use his hands .

    Bain needs to take over in the extreme short term, but obviously he isn’t the answer for even the next round of whatever tournament we’re in.

    Barkas just doesn’t make saves at all. It’s genuinely like watching an outfield player in goals.

    Was more than willing to give him a chance this season, but that goal could very well be the difference between us securing EL football/Advancing in the CL games.

    I really hope the Forster rumours are true,

    We should have stuck with Craig feckin Gordon which just shows how bad our goal keeping situation is

    He has no positive attributes. Beggars belief how bad a keeper he is.

    He did an interview last year saying he hates being a GK and would rather be an outfield player, apparently when he trains with Greece he plays LB.

    These are his quotes

    "I don't like playing as a goalkeeper. It's not fun to play in that position.

    "If I had the choice I would play as a defender or as a midfielder. In fact, when I am training with Greece, I play left back in the practice sessions.

    "I actually became a goalkeeper by mistake. I went for trials in Kolonos when I was a kid and the coach put me in goal because he had enough players, even though I was short then.

    "Strikers are paid to score goals and my job is not to concede. But when you play at the top level, the feeling you had as a child is lost. You are paid for a purpose."

    Said it umpteen times and he’ll keep making these stupid mistakes until the penny drops - he is never a Celtic goalkeeper in a million years.

    He might be a ‘good keeper’ but that’s only 1 facet to being our keeper. He has no presence, no confidence, no leadership qualities, no concentration and no determination. He is the goalkeeper version of Teemu Pukki.

    It’s no even that he didny save it.


    It’s the fact he was there to catch it but pulled his hands away and let it go by him :rofl:

    I’ve said it before in here, but it’s just so bizarre how he barely ever raises his arms above shoulder height when apparently attempting to make a save. Genuinely never seen a goalkeeper like it.

    I think a new GK has now jumped to the head of the much needed new signings queue

    This is the kind of crazy stuff I’m talking about. It’s like he’s playing with two broken fingers on each hand sometimes.

    I hate getting on the back's of our own players, but he's killing us. He's so devoid of confidence and ability he sucks the rest of the team down and encourages who we are playing.

    A new keeper is even more vital than the defence.
