    Thought the same. I'm no expert on goalkeeping but he looks to have a really weird technique when saving shots, like how you'd imagine an outfielder in nets would look. I'd pass on this one.

    Celtic are monitoring RKC Waalwijk goalkeeper Etienne Vaessen, according to reports in the Netherlands.

    The shotstopper, 28, is out of contract this summer and the Hoops are considering a free transfer swoop as they seek a replacement for the retiring Joe Hart. Vaessen is said to be an attractive proposition for the Scottish champions' recruitment team but PSV are also interested, claims Brabrants Dagblad.

    The 6ft2in keeper has kept four clean sheets in 22 games in the Eredivisie this season and has spent his entire senior career at Waalwijk, making over 200 appearances for them. Hart, 36, will hang up his gloves at the end of the season after announcing it last month


    Celtic therefore on the lookout for a new number one with Scott Bain and Benji Siegrist the other goalkeepers at the club.

    Fans have wanted the club to target the position for some time anyway with criticisms of Hart, especially in Europe, but he has performed fairly well this season

    This guy seems more likely to sign as number 2, not 1st choice.

    Agree, more likely a Siegrist replacement than a Hart replacement

    I think he’s been excellent for Scotland, for what it’s worth.

    Last few times I’ve watched the national team I’ve came away wishing we were interested.

    Already branded a dud I see. Good stuff, at least he's got the backing of the fans.

    he's pretty decent, or has been for Scotland. Norwich did pay 5m for thim but only a year left. I think he'd be a good shout to be honest

    Barkas poppadoms wrists gave us all ptsd. It'll take years to get over that and believing a new signing in goals might be good beforehand.

    Whoever done his highlight reel is having a laugh.

    Every * bang average save palmed straight back out.

    My personal favourite was the one he inexplicably palmed back out to the striker and it cut off just before said striker almost certainly burst the net.
