    I think he's come on in leaps and bounds, and has done a great job, minus his first OF game.
    At 22, he could grow into something special, but as others have said, I think we've helped Newcastle and others see what they've got.
    He is a Newcastle lad, and loves Celtic, but I think he'd rather make it there too.
    Keep him if it's an option and the $ aren't ridiculous.
    Flick Zaluska but - he always reminds of a rabbit in the spotlight.

    If we could keep Forster I'd be happy but doubt we could.
    I reckon we could get Given for less. Westwood is a good keeper.

    he has got better as the season has went on and i have confidence in him now
    zaluska should not be number 1 again and i think lennon knows that

    would love to sign forster but think newcastle would want too much money

    I'd spend 2million to get him on a perm deal. The guys had 15 clean sheets this season mabey more not 100% sure but that's something else.

    I like Fraser, but I would personally like to see someone with a bit more experience in goal for us. I would rather we sell Zaluska, sign Forster and another experienced keeper and let Forster and whoever fight it out. He's a promising young talent but I think he still has a long way to go and I think he would learn a lot from someone more experienced.

    Try our damnedest to try and keep Forster at the club, although that is definitely going to prove difficult because he has had a good season with us, his records in a Celtic jersey are fantastic and he's young with the potential to become an England International.

    Wouldn't mind if we could keep Forster, but with the jobs the scouts have been doing as of recent I'm sure they'll find a worthy replacement.

    * no! I love the Big Man for all the good times, but we now have a new team that has developed a fantastic team spirit...a 'character' (nicest way I can put it! lol) like Artur could potentially threaten that.

    Wouldn't be upset with Forster, but don't see it happening. Westwood or Given please!

    I can't quite relax when the ball comes in to our box, he gives me palpitations, seems very unsure of when to come out and is even more unsure of himself when the ball is at his feet.

    Has done a decent job but not for me long term.

    I agree.

    If we can get someone as good a Forster that can kick a ball then punt him. If not sign Forster, but we shouldn't be held at ransom by Newcastle, I personally wouldn't pay more than 1.5m for Forster.

    If we got Westwood or Given I would seriously have a celebration *.

    i think he is the weak link in the team we need a strong keeper mentally and physical, young forster looks clumsy and poor decision making you get away with that against st mirren or Hamilton but we will get punished in Europe and that's where we need to and should be playing.

    Could we see a Shay Given deal?

    Wouldn't mind Shay Given, he's looking for a move from Man City in the summer - probably big asking price on him though, unless he could come on a long term loan or possibly let him go free? (highly unlikely)

    To be honest...A dont really like him, he has done his part but I would like the scouts to find us a young good keeper like they done with Izzy, Kayal and Hooper otherwise bring in westwood until the scouts do find a keeper.
