Thread: 6ft 7in Newcastle keeper next in Neil Lennon’s sights...

meh, Cervi is the same height, doesn't necessarily make a good keeper, can make em less agile. Look at Given and Casillias, two quality diminutive keepers.

Think we should be going for someone more experienced and/or with a proven track record, this wouldn't excite me one bit.

big huge bastard!!!

Don't want him though

Cervi.

BBC Sport - Football - Celtic line up loan deal for Newcastle\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Fraser Forster

Celtic hope to complete a season-long loan deal for Newcastle goalkeeper Fraser Forster on Monday.

The 22-year-old, who stands at 6ft, 7in, impressed while on loan at Norwich last season and has also been farmed out to Bristol Rovers and Stockport.

"He's a big boy, he's come highly recommended," revealed Celtic manager Neil Lennon.

"His age is the only thing going against him because otherwise he's all the qualities you look for."

Norwich had hoped to bring Forster back to Carrow Road but were priced out of a move for the Englishman.

Burnley also made a move for the keeper in July but at that time Newcastle were reluctant to let him leave.

Forster, who will be in Glasgow for a medical on Monday, has yet to play a first team game for Newcastle and is third in the pecking order at St James' Park behind Steve Harper and Tim Krul.

I'd rathe a more experienced keeper tbh

Celtic look set to make their 10th summer signing this week by bringing in highly rated goalkeeper Fraser Forster on a season long loan from Newcastle United.

The 22-year-old has yet to start a game for the English Premiership side but has already earned rave reviews after loan spells with Stockport County, Bristol Rovers and, most recently, Norwich City.

The 6ft 7in English keeper was at Celtic Park on Sunday to witness their 4-0 win over St. Mirren and will return to Glasgow tomorrow afternoon for a medical.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon said Forster has been brought in to provide some much needed competition for a place between the Parkhead sticks.

Lennon said: "He's a big boy, he's come highly recommended, I've watched him myself a couple of times.

"His age, 22, is the only thing going against him because otherwise he's got all the qualities you look for in a goalkeeper.

"He's got a massive presence and he's come highly recommended from people in the game whose opinion I trust, so if the medical goes okay, we'll take him on board.

"We've needed competition in that area so he'll add to that."

doesn't exactly sound like the experienced new #1 we've been looking for...

Would prefer the Deportivo keeper tbh.

Newcastle goalkeeper Fraser Forster is poised to complete a loan move to Celtic subject to a medical.

Hopefully he's going to be third choice and a more experienced head is coming in aswell...

I'm willing to take Lambert's word for it for the time being.

I've a mate who's a Norwich fan, said this guy was brilliant last season.

Still, wanted us to sign a concrete number 1.

very worried about this.

I would be very happy with Frazer Forster. He is an excellent goalkeeper, and he has just had a great season with Norwich. This guy is tipped as a future England No.1 goalkeeper. Get him signed Lenny before somebody else dives in and snatches him from us.
