    And at the same point some of his world class saves were just that.

    Yeah I think saying his good saves have been exaggerated may be a little harsh to be fair, but there has without doubt been a couple. Most people's reactions to things go with reputation, when he was one of the most popular players in the squad he couldn't do anything wrong, now people are starting to see his weaknesses and he's losing popularity they will probably be over exaggerated at times.

    Missing my point.

    I am not saying his good saves are exaggerated. I am saying when he makes a good save sometimes people describe it as "world class" or "unbelievable".

    I'm not saying his "good" saves are not good. They are exactly that.

    I'd freeze him out now and give Zaluska a run in the team....after his comments it would suggest that he is absolutely itching for a move....what's the point in playing people who don't want to play for us...I'd bite the hand of a team if we got an offer in double figures

    I've just seen the article just now of what he's said and haven't heard it yet but my dirt impression is the difference in how I see him talking about England and getting into the squad and then us as if whatever if it's here it there I don't care kinda attitude..

    Hate seeing players say this kind of thing after a heavy loss,club football should be his and all of there only focus..

    Think he's a definite goner by the way and I've said it before,cold possibly see it happening in January if we get the right big offer..

    Agreed. Załuska's been a loyal servant to the club.

    Selling Forster in January would be a priority for me. His stock's still high, he's itching to jump ship & we need a replacement, not necessarily Załuska, bedded in for the qualifiers.

    Same goes for any player making comments like that.

    It's not the first time he's done it either to be honest..

    Hate that come and get me attitude straight after a game especially one we've been hammered in..

    Really hope we punt in January. I like the guy but his heart is not in it anymore. His head is somewhere else and he clearly wants out. We don't need players like that at the club. There is virtually no point whatsoever in keeping him from Jan to the Summer of 2014.

    We'll see what he goes on to after Celtic. I'm disappointed with his comments but at least we know where we stand. He's been a valuable player but I only want players whose commitment to the club is unquestionable. It won't happen but I'd drop him. If we wait until the summer to sell him, we'll be playing with fire going into the qualifiers. Use his fee to bring in an up and coming 'keeper who's hungry to play for Celtic and play Załuska in the meantime.

    I hope the club realise that. In hindsight, we probably should have done the same with Hooper (or at least brought in his replacement the January before he left).

    It's been obvious for a while that he wants off,and I've said before he's the next for the big money move..
    For me we can't drop him as we had to keep that figure a high as possible and milk some mob down here with stupid money to spend..
    Whether that's January or the summer that's where we're at I think,got to be over 10 though most definitely,hopefully 12..

    Unlikely. Krul's a great 'keeper. I think we're looking at Aston Villa or lower in the league table as it stands.

    Krul, Vorm, De Gea, Cech, Hart, Howard, Boruc, Lloris, Szczęsny, Mignolet... is he really going to displace any of them?

    If a bigger club came in for Krul, I could see Forster heading back to Newcuntsle.

    Sell him. Good keeper but I think deep down he wants to leave soon and we should get something for him while he's fit and his value is relatively high.

    He has a few weaknesses that are often exposed anyway, so selling him now gives us a chance to get a decent replacement in for next season. We have a capable number 2 in Zaluska to take over the reigns for league games if finding someone takes a while.

    Now that i think of it who would he goto down there? Who would be willing to pay £10m+ for a keeper at this current time?

    Would be better if Forster went in January as his collapse of form during this Champions League Campaign has been dramatic, and he has let in a barrel of goals, that more than anything I reckon contributed to our abysmal showing in our Group. Forster is also a very poor communicator with his defenders and that has also unsettled our rearguard. To be an excellent goalkeeper you need to be a good communicator, and be able to marshall your defence, defensive walls, and set up in the box, Forster can't do that.

    Unless he goes abroad, it's a bottom half English side.
