So if we could only sign one of our Southampton loanees permanently. Who would you pick.
Forster or Elyounoussi?
11 Feb 2020 04:53:01
Forster for me ice man!
11 Feb 2020 06:55:34
Forster.
11 Feb 2020 07:31:26
Forster for me.
11 Feb 2020 08:37:24
Big Fraser all day long.

It's a real hard one to answer iceman but I would take Forster as he solidifies the team. I Loved him the first time he was here and his showings in the European games have been immense. whos your pick?
11 Feb 2020 09:28:39
Elyounoussi Forster is a good shot stopper but for a big guy he doesn't command his area well imo although if he did we would have no chance of keeping him.
11 Feb 2020 09:39:11
I posted yesterday about my concerns if we had to go back to Bain as Forster has shown (especially in big games) that he is a class act.
Ellyounnoussi is a class act as well, but we still managed to play very well and score plenty of goals while he was out.
If we pushed the boat-out and got both and signed a centre-half, in the summer, I would be absolutely delighted.
However, there's always the chance The Board would sell a top player to subsidize such a project?

I’m going Forster. A top class keeper in my mind. No doubt Elyounoussi is a class act but I feel we could cover that position easier. Realistically I don’t think we can buy them both due to the transfer fees involved.
11 Feb 2020 13:43:48
Elyounoussi for me on his game he’s a class act and think it’s easier to buy a half decent keeper who while not quite Forster would be good enough if we can score more than the opposing team and Elouyassi can play a part in achieving that. Would love to sign Forster too but don’t think he’s the best I’ve seen at Celtic Park I think Boruc was better at his peak. What a back 5.Boruc, McGrain, Elliot, Van Dyke and KT are the best I’ve seen.
{Ed007's Note - I'd have Tam Boyd in there before KT.}
11 Feb 2020 14:07:56
Elyounoussi all day long.
11 Feb 2020 14:43:50
Selection based purely on ability Ed but KT nowhere near played long enough for us to be remembered with the Tam Boyd’s or Jackie McNamara’s of the past.
{Ed007's Note - Nah not for me mate. I like my defenders to defenders to defend first and Boyd was a better defender than KT was - maybe not in the future as hopefully KT goes on to prove himself and realise his full potential but for his time at Celtic I'd go for Boyd.}

Boruc took advantage of the Celtic support and ended up totally out of shape. No other Celtic keeper would have escaped criticism for making as many howlers as Boruc did. Forster is the best keeper by a long way I have seen playing for Celtic because I wasn’t a big Bonner fan either. Jackie McNamara is the best right back I have witnessed playing for Celtic because when I watched Danny McGrain in the 80s he was past his best.
11 Feb 2020 17:11:10
Elliot was amazing best defender I have seen and that's me going back to the time of the Lisbon lions just.
11 Feb 2020 19:22:31
Agree tony2bhoy - Elliot was a great asset - how much would he be worth now?
I would take Forster out of those two as Moi has more cover in his position of a certain quality at the moment.

I'd like us to try to get Elyannousi in as he's relatively young and I can't see us finding a winger with that ability and hunger easily. I'd go in for Forster too--but would be happy with another year's loan tbh, and that might be a good compromise for all concerned. We used to have some of the best goalie coaching and scouting in the game. Forster is the rock, but where are our prospects here? I'd also be happy to see which of them earns it in our european campaigning. HH.
