Boruc Vs Forster

[Whitey Grandad]

He isn't good enough for PL football I'm afraid.

 

Sad, but true.

[Restark19]

Imo Boruc will start the season as first choice, any mistakes and forster will be straight in the team

[hans gruber]

come on guys . seriously

 

i cant believe nobody has worked out Koemans new game plan. Why do you think we havent signed a replacement for Lovren?

 

Simple.

 

We will be playing 3 defenders and 2 Goalkeepers this season.

 

So Boruc and Forster in goal

 

Clyne Fonte Bertrand in defence.

 

In some games could also see us dropping a midfielder and bringing KD in to play revolutionary 3 3 4 1 system.

Another poor clearance by Forster, this time with his feet, almost lets Legia Warsaw in but Celtic survive.

Sounds like he'd be, literally, a perfect replacement for Boruc...

[Fitzhugh Fella]

Sorry Artur is flawed, his kicking is atrocious and he is a liability in the Premiership. A character and when he concentrates he can be wonderful but......................................

[DT]

Disagree. Really like Boruc as a keeper for the calmness he breeds. ( mostly)

Absolute rubbish mate.

[Saint Without a Halo]

Boruc for me every time

[Leicestersaint]

Is Forster actually any good - he's let in another two (so far) tonight and his kicking sounds poor.

[ART]

Have yet to see what people see in Forster. He's crap and Foster played far better for England and Marshall is streaks better. Will be sad if we waste money and don't put a better bid in for Marshall.

[Deanovski]

tbf coming from celtic to southampton forster should be happy to sit on the bench.

boruc is one of my personal favourite goalies and should be no.1

He's only as good as the team in front if him. And let's be honest Celtic ain't that great a team.

Just wait and see when we have a goalie who doesn't command the Penalty box.. then you may appreciate Boruc.

We've had Gazzaniga for extended periods over the past two seasons. I think we know exactly what it's like to have a goalie that doesn't command the penalty box let alone inspire confidence in his team mates.

[mulgrew21]

Forster for me. Boruc is a great stopper but can't distribute newspapers.

 

Forster is the worst goalkeeper with the ball at his feet I've ever seen at Celtic. Fantastic talent but like I said on here a few days ago, I don't think he took up football until he was in his late teens, hence the severe lack of technical ability with the ball at his feet.

He's not playing in the Premiership.

 

Kicking is fine - when he concentrates. Best keeper in the Prem - when he concentrates. Guess what his flaw is?

Certainly knows how to wang a ball into the opposite end, and he can't be any worse than Kelvin Davis at kicking decisions.

.....then it should be a good test of the abilities of our new goalie coach Dave Watson ?

[SaintRobbie]

Interesting article in the Sunday Times quoting Lennon who managed both. In sum, Lennon said that Boruc needed far more management off the pitch than the more reliable Forster.

 

Not sure Boruc would have lasted long under WGS.

[Crab Lungs]

Forster is miles behind Boruc as a keeper. Unbelievable this poll is so close.

Lennon would know all about management off pitch seeing as his behaviour off it wasn't any better than boruc's in Glasgow.

 

And it was WGS who managed and brought boruc to celtic

 

It was well known as long as boruc performed on pitch WGS ignored a lot of off field stuff that went on

[Patrick Bateman]

In your opinion. In the opinion of 58% of people who have voted, they think Boruc is better. You tiresome irk.

He's 34 now though and recently married, surely he isnt still living the same life as in his 20s?

Exactly. No.

 

But a bench and absent wife will not help all that behaviour not being repeated. Or maybe being older and wiser will make the difference

Just spoken to a Celtic friend in Scotland. Her uncle is a Celtic board member. She reckons they'll be in for Boruc if they get half a chance as he's considered far better than Forster. Says Forster can't handle crosses and only his height works in his favor.

hahahaha....

Thinking Artur Botuc would be a good signing for #ytfc now #saintsfc have Forster.

Might be a bit over budget mind??

Can't believe no-ones mentioned Cody Cropper yet, I think he is easily good enough and ready to be challenging for the first team.

 

Forster has come here to be #1, that's pretty much nailed on, and surely that spells the exit for Artur? Don't get me wrong, I'd love him to stay and fight for his place, but he's good enough to be first choice elsewhere and will probably ask to leave.

 

Point being that Forster as first choice with Cropper as back up is the answer.

 

Oh, and Gazzaniga can do one as well!

[nta786]

Well Boruc is very clearly pi**ed off.

On his Instagram, uploads a picture of himself and writes 'WTF is goin on in here???'

Only a matter of time before the media find out...
