What does everyone thin about our current GK situation? I know Boruc is class, but in reality him and Kelv are getting on and Gazanniga may not be ready when we need him to be, so I was thinking about the possability of offering Boruc as part of a swap deal for Fraser Forster? He looks just as good and he's a lot younger and has said he wants to play for england so may consider a move to do so? I reckon 4m + Boruc would be enough? Thoughts?

I'd rather offer Davis. We can't really afford to loose Boruc at this point and frankly Gazzaniga was incredible when he played. It's just a shame that the over-riding memory of him so far is his mistake against Norwich. Every keeper has days like that.

If gazza ain't near ready this season comeing then he ain't that top keeper we hope
how old is he now in comparison to , de gea, butland ect

Keep Boruc and spend money on defence and quality 20+ striker.

Gazza is 21, De Gea is 22 but still and I personaly don't think butland is going to be the top keeper everyone thinks e is! I think we should look to loan him out this season and let him get some gametime under his belt in the championship

Gazza wasn't incredible when he played otherwise he would be our number 1 at presant. Heard a rumour that we are tracking Sunderland GK Simon Mignolet.

Gazza made some brilliant saves while in goal, just people can't remember them because they always focus on the mistake. My main memories of his time in goal actually are an incredible finger tip save against Everton and a good solid performance in our first win of the season against Villa.

Gazza wasn't anywhere near incredible. How can anyone say he was? He was awful. Very nervous, slippery hands. He didn't do our defence any good. You need someone to boss the defence and shout out orders in goal. Boruc is good at this while Gazza is seemingly not.

Gazza will be a quality keeper, Made a fantastic save against Newcastle when he had nothing else to do all game which could of cost us as we didn't take all our chances. His distribution is better than our other 2 keepers. I have faith in him

Borucs class how old his he 32-33 easy 3-4 season at the top left in him if not more I don't like gazzaniga thought I know he's young but we could do so much better

The only saves gazza made were straight at him shocking no positional sence what so ever commanding of the area just not there looked woefull at best not what we need never going to get a game anyway the way boruc been playing he's a quality keeper

You guys clearly know nothing about goalkeeping. He's been relatively well positioned especially seeing as he is such a young keeper and has made some great saves. Plus your argument about shots being 'at him' would surely mean he was positioned well?

I'm happy we signed Boruc on to a longer deal. I thought Gazzaniga looked promising in his games, but that he clearly needs more experience. That's fine though, a lot of keepers don't really hit their stride until their mid- to late-20s. I think we're coming into Davis' last season as a player, though. Like Jaidi, I think the club are grooming him for a coaching/development role. I am perfectly happy with Boruc as the starter and Gazzaniga as the No. 2 for next season. Davis or maybe even Cropper as the No. 3.

It was always a risk putting Gazzaniga into the team straight away anyway. He had only played around 20 games in league 2 the season before, but I think he will defo improve

I think though this could be a really good opportunity to sign Forster as he wants to leave Celtic who could be our keeper for the next 8-9 seasons, and if we offered Boruc who has been a brilliant signing for us we could get him for 3-4m which would be a great signing in my opinion

Spills the balls the snodgrass free kick was a school boy error the yoshida thing was even worse all I can say is thank god for Boruc

Not as exiting but still. Players Leaving saints

Chung : FC Tokyo
Seabourne - Bournemouth
Billy Sharpe - Leeds, Forest or Reading
Gaston - Juve
Fox - Reading

Gaston isn't leaving

Don't see Gaston going anywhere.

Gaston recently bought a house in romsey, he wouldn't of bothered if he wanted to go

We will bring some extra quality to the side in the transfer window. As a result hopefully Gaston will shine next season
