Apparently, we have an agreement in place to sign Fraser Forster if (when) Celtic are eliminated from the Champions League. I think that this would be a fantastic signing. What do you guys think?

That would mean we were getting a new signing this week. can it really be?

2.) 05 Aug 2014
I personally don't think a new goalkeeper is our main priority. I think Boruc is an outstanding keeper and doesn't need replacing. I'm getting a bit concerned by the seemingly lack of talk about a centre back. The three we have at the club are at best adequate but far from outstanding. £10 million on Fraser Forster seems an awful lot of money which should be better spent on a top notch defender.

Yes it will be great to sign him as Boric will not be around for long

GK is obviously a position that needs addressing at some point as Boruc only has a year left on his contract and the back-up is absolutely hopeless.

I'm just not sure it should be the priority right now, when the squad is horribly thin at CB and in the attacking positions.

If Saints really are penny pinching and not reinvesting much of the transfer monies earned this summer, it makes no sense to spend big on a position where they're in relatively good shape - Boruc is certainly a decent enough first choice keeper for a mid table PL side.

Forster's got potential. Needs to dominate his box better and his kicking's rotten, but he's a big unit with excellent reflexes.

Promising keeper. Can he play centre -half though? I am having visions of Hooiveld at centre back. Please no!!

That would be great but we need a centre half we can't go with what we got?

7.) 05 Aug 2014
Yes will be good signing but I'm starting to get a little upset with the lack of activity at the moment. Now there is talk of us signing a bunch of IMO below standard players! Friday we were supposed to see two new signing announced over the weekend and nothing? Someone needs to pull their finger out were the sun don't shine as in less than two weeks we are off.

8.) 05 Aug 2014
I agree that CB is a priority but GK is a position that needs addressing as Boruc is 34 and we need to look to the future, also I don't thin Gazzaniga or Cropper are up to being back up yet

Boruc should still be number1, forster has very little experience in top flight, big big mistake if boruc leaves, why do people suggest 34 is to old for a keeper, he is in his prime!

Fantastic signing because Boruc is a terrible Goal Keeper, right?
Best league position for years, clean sheets, goals conceded etc.
That's why we need to pay millions for a keeper who's played in the Scottish Pub League for a few seasons.
Honestly I see things differently, I must be stupid.

Apologies for my recent post about De Vrij, I now know he went to Lazio. I think we missed out there big time though. Missed the transfer and must have read an old post linking him to Man Utd.

12.) 05 Aug 2014
Foster fine, if it ever happens, as we never seem able to finalise transfers. with LR at the helm.
If by some stroke of luck he joins then surely Boruc must remain also or we are back to square one.
What about centre backs/ strikers seems deafly silence apart from crazy rumours. Will this board ever learn or is it all some master plan!

Just seen on a web page here that De Vrij is probably still available. If so what a buy he would be, he makes Van Djick look like a Pompey player. Not saying this is totally true but have just seen it. Maybe some of you learned folk could update me on this.

"Feyenoord defender Stefan de Vrij has agreed a €8.5million move to Lazio, according to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. "

Cant see Celtic letting both players come to us he's a decent prospect
but money talks as it has done to us so let's wait and see
