**** sake is this 1 of the 2 signings br was talking about. how's that improving the team.

12 Aug 2016 09:31:53
Bit underwhelming to be honest! I know he was forests player of the year last year but honestly thought we'd do better than this! But I trust BR so if he fancies him then I'm willing to give him a chance! I actually thought he was injured at the moment to. which is slightly strange! Considering baily is out injured to!

At 35 years of age how is this guy going to be an improvement on Gordon. Would rather Fasan was given a chance.

Very impressed with the signings so far but not with this one.

12 Aug 2016 09:35:18
Seems a strange one indeed. He's 35 and even though keepers can play a bit longer than others you have to ask how long he is going to go on for. I'd have thought BR would have went for a keeper with youth on his side as well as a bit of quality. Bailly should be given a chance first, not a bad keeper and needs a run of games.

12 Aug 2016 09:53:54
Really thought we would take this opportunity to get someone in that will be here long term.

12 Aug 2016 10:05:13
Maybe 2 years left in him, likely intending of bring a young keeper through. stop gap.

The age isn't the issue - how old is Kolo? The issue is that it's a bit of an underwhelming signing because we were hoping for better. Got to give BR the chance with this one though, he obviously feels he coyld be better than Gordon.

Its DeVries skill with the ball at his feet that Rodgers wants, he had him at Swansea and wants to build from the back. Regardless of what you thing of Gordon, his use of the ball at his feet is murder!

12 Aug 2016 12:35:48
We should get a look at him against Inter. Wonder if BR will start him against hapoel beer sheva 2nd leg? I doubt BR has brought him in to make up the numbers.

The age is an issue because we will have 3 goalkeepers in their mid 30s. Kolo is different because the 4 other centre halves around him are all 25 and under and can learn from him.

So if Gigi Buffon was coming to Celtic you would say the same thing?

Obviously this keeper isn't even a comparision to Buffon but same scenario.

12 Aug 2016 13:24:23
There are plenty of top keepers that sort of age Niall, even if it's only until next summer when there's more funds available. Don't get me wrong, I would prefer somebody younger ideally, but if he's better than Gordon, it's a step in the right direction.

12 Aug 2016 13:31:48
I was going to say exactly that anderson lol, thought it would have been a bit too simple of a way to dispel such logic.

12 Aug 2016 14:10:06
Buffon is and has been one of world football's best keepers for 15 _20 years doris de vies isn't hasn't and will never be . that's the difference ce.

12 Aug 2016 15:06:29
Exactly DRB. It's the player, not their age.

12 Aug 2016 16:08:05
I did say De Vries is not a comparison on Buffon, but when people are saying age is the issue, its clearly not when he has been a top goalkeeper for 15-20 years.
