    He's just won the Player Of The Month award, he's only the 8th keeper to win it too. La Gran Muralla.

    Yet Joe heart, now a bench warmer, will still play ahead of him at the euros.

    Probably. I don't know what excuse they can still be using though to keep him out of the starting 11. They can't put his great performances and amazing stats down to playing in a "lesser" league because he's doing it in their own back garden now. It's gone beyond the point of bias too, I watched a City game not so long ago and Hart really is * dreadful, Forster always seems to be improving as well.

    Alas, it's their loss, but I would like to see Forster getting the plaudits he deserves.

    Fraser Forster has been a vastly superiod goalkeeper to England's poster boy for years.

    Not that I'm giving a *, their chances of progressing further would increase significantly with Forster in goals.

    Come on, Joe Hart is hardly dreadful. He's a top keeper too but Fraser is superior.

    Hart makes far too many errors to be a top keeper, can pull off the spectacular but he's a disaster waiting to happen.

    Joe Hart for his age and experience should be a much better keeper. So I think he is decent and that's it. Big FF is a far more dependable goalie.

    See the English Huns are looking at him to replace Courtois if he goes to Real in the summer.

    Was lucky enough to be at Leicester on Sunday and had much interest inthe 3 former players, I thought all looked to be taking that level in their stride and in big Frasers case excelling, I think this guy is that good Southampton have not a prayer of keeping him long term, I was telling folk this is nothing new and hiw Barca hold him in such high esteem.

    Was wonderful seeing him in action on Sunday but tinged with regret he is not ours.

    I know Newcastle are an utter joke top to bottom but its incredible they gave us this guy as they didnt rate him.......astonishing

    Didnt they keep harper and krul ahead of him?
    Forster has turned out to be an outstanding keeper. Came to celtic a little rough round the edges but we turned that around and now, even after a bad injury, is excelling.
    Wont be there much longer

    It's either him, Pat Bonner or Boruc.

    Pat Bonner is probably the greatest ever celtic keeper but in terms of ability and potential out with Celtic I think its Forster.

    The former Celtic keeper has been linked with a big money move to Barcelona.
    The Spanish giants have been long time admirers of Forster since his performances in the Champions League earned him the nickname La Gran Muralla from Spanish media.
    Leicester City stopper Kasper Schmeichel is also being linked with a move to the Nou Camp.
