    Absolute brilliant goalkeeper. Hung around at Southampton way too long. At a club like Spurs. A top four club. He'll excell. Hopefully anyway cause I want him to do well

    Big snake to me..

    Great move for him though. Going to a bigger club. Champions league football....even if it is as backup keeper and to fill the homegrown quota..

    The best keeper I’ve seen at Celtic and that is massive praise considering how good Boruc was. Too good to be a back-up anywhere. Hope he gets his chances at Spurs.

    Lloris is pish, however Forster won’t be getting a sniff there. He’ll earn a fortune and it’s a decent move to a big club but it’s a total waste of his last few years.

    When he came back he played some of the finest I think I've ever seen for a gk.

    The game against the huns still, to this day, is for me the best performance I've ever seen from a goalkeeper in living memory, that was the type of performance that quite literally wins you trophies.

    Not often you can say that about a keeper but for Celtic he truly was...

    Fantastic move for his bank balance, but ah well. Can't have it all, all the time.

    I'd have happily seen him back here. Anytime I've watched Southampton recently he's saved them far more than a keeper should. He was playing well.

    Forster playing well on a free transfer is a great signing.

    How exciting for him, a few games in a ‘B’ team in matches they hardly care whether they win or lose.

    Guy should be playing week in, week out at a decent level. Not being signed to warm a bench as he’s English and is useful for their quota.

    The spurs fans mostly all think he is pish and not good enough to be their back up keeper. EPL fans in general, well the ones on social media at least, are a weird bunch that know the square root of * all about football.

    Southampton fans thought he was pish too. Maybe they've changed their opinion this season though

    An international keeper isn't good enough for them as back up? Honestly Premier league fans need to get off their high horse.

    To be fair, Spurs aren't really like that under Conte, they sent out most of their first team (including Loris) for both cups even in early rounds, and the conference league.

    They are a club desperate for silverware so if he's been offered that plus back up for a top 4 champions League side it's not too bad at all, Considering he wasn't exactly a guaranteed starter for Southampton

    Everything I've read from Spurs fans is positive about signing him and so it should be. Hopefully we draw them in the CL.

    Love big frase but he can’t really be classed as an international keeper can he as he was always pipped to the spot by our very own joe hart, and then 2 other options too. Most times not even making the squad. Totally get why he didn’t come back up to us though cos no way would he have got a spurs move at his age and the wage I’m sure he’ll be on after leaving us now

    His save against Lazio in the final minute is probably the greatest save iv ever seen from a Celtic GK.

    Big early for him to be doing the Rob Green role.

    He'll not get a sniff there, aside from some cup games if he's lucky.
