If he’s available on a free that’ll likely attract interest from a lot of clubs and mean they will be able to offer a better/bigger contract. Can see a few offers for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gannonball Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Marshall would be a sensible enough option for us since he’s free. Anyone we sign will be a downgrade on Forster however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Hammond not agree a fee to buy him as part of the loan deal ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be down to wages then or maybe he thinks he can get back into Southampton’s first team. Bain’s not the best in the world but is good enough to do Celtic a turn given how little he’ll have to do in most games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word is he wants to try and get into the Southampton first team, I'm biased obviously but find it difficult to fathom why you'd stay at a club where you are third choice on the outside chance of getting the gloves as opposed to playing for a club you are idolised, albeit in a smaller league on a season where the team could make history in a way probably only bettered by the Lisbon season. Regarding your second point, Scott Bain is a very capable goalkeeper but just can't see Celtic starting the season with him as number one, I don't think Neil Lennon has 100% confidence in him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Tbh your never gonny please everybody no matter who we’ve got in goal now,no pressure whoever it is,just 10 in a row and imo you need a decent keeper and that in turn other players can put their trust in him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C’mon to f**k mate there is absolutely no comparison. 10 iar is only a thing to two clubs in one country. You are the first Celtic fan I’ve heard even hint at the comparison. The Lisbon Lions were pioneers in European football. They dominated the Scottish league when teams like Killie, Dunfermline, Rangers and Hibs were all getting to the latter stages in European football - good, good teams. They had a lot of players who were rated and respected worldwide. They had a manager in Jock Stein who was well ahead of his time. The current team, whilst very, very successful domestically have none of the above. Edited July 2, 2020 by Grangemouth Bairn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 The 'probably' was more a reference to the fact that some may argue the invincible treble season would be the second greatest achievement by the club ahead of potentially winning the league and completing ten in a row next season, I'd have thought it obvious the Lisbon season is clearly, by a mile the clubs finest achievement, the phrasing of my original post seems to have caused a bit of confusion so, clarifying the point about Lisbon being the clubs finest hour unquestionably shouldn't really need done but, have done so here anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deary me Mags, I would argue that Wim Jansens team made far more significant history by stopping 10IAR by the other cheek rather than anything the flat track bullies of recent times have achieved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bain is capable domestically, maybe. Need a far bigger upgrade for Europe. If he starts as number 1 then the best team in the league who can outspend anyone are going in with the (at best) 5th best keeper in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can stick anyone in goal and it'd be deemed acceptable domestically. Bain is nowhere near good enough for Celtic. There's at least 5 keepers better than him in the league and a few of those clubs subs are better than him too. Bain's ultimately had 1 absolutely top drawer season where he was undoubtedly 'Celtic quality', but he's proven that was more of a purple patch than his genuine standard. If they're signing David Marshall as first choice then there was not much reason for punting Craig Gordon. That'd just be fan service. Boruc would be interesting - but he'll be 41 midway through the season and couldn't get a game at Bournemouth ahead of Aaron Ramsdale & Mark Travers - Suggests he's finished. It'll not happen but Celtic could do a lot worse than going after someone like Lewis or Marciano. There's bound to be plenty of quality keepers out there - It's not as if the vast majority of goalkeepers go for a premium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
