So with the forster deal looking increasingly unlikely to happen unless there is an unexpected twist it now looks like the 3 most concrete alternatives are joe hart, David Marshall and aek athens keeper vasilios barkas.
Hart and marshall are both available on a free and barkas has reportedly been made available at 5m, I think it will be a toss up between the 2 keepers available on a free as celtic will most likely refuse to spend excess amounts if someone else won't command a transfer fee.
No disrespect to marshall but I don't think he's what we need with this season coming up although some will argue he could be a good choice considering he knows celtic and what's at stake. As for barkas, he would be a good option as a long term option but having a keeper at the back from a European club could be a bit risky with us going for 10.
Forster remains the number 1 hope for me but if we managed to get any one of those 3 above I don't think it would be that drastic, all have decent experience and could do a job for us.
