Sky sources saying that Fraser is going to have talks with Saints after Celtic accepted a £10m bid from us.

Good news lets hope it happens.

Sky sources saying that Fraser is going to have talks with Saints after Celtic accepted a £10m bid from us.

Sources reporting that personal terms have been agreed and the player is flying down for a medical later today - maybe an announcement at SMS before today's game ?

Celtic reinstated to Champions League after Legia played an ineligible player.
Is that likely to put a hold on the Forster move?

Doubt it Adds, too widely reported now so i'm hoping for one of those 70's style signings with a table on the pitch and FF signing his contract there.

I've critisised the board a lot this summer so it would be only fair to praise them for strengthening and area where we were pretty weak last season.

It's also been a long time since we've signed a current England international as well, i'm guessing it would probably have been Peter Shilton

Excellent signing, he is a very good 'keeper, England international and a good age.

I really hope the Holy Goalie stays though so we have real strength in the goalkeeping position.

Decent signing IMO(****** dam & blast ).I rate him over Hart any day.
I said in the prediction of where our teams will finish as having you down as 2nd bottom as things stood @ that time. I'm revising my prediction for your mob, lower half now but think there are @ least 3 or 4 teams possibly more worse off than you.
sob.

Not that they count for jack, but I fear your predictive abilities are weaker than ever - perhaps it's a side-effect of having to endure pub standard hoofball week in, week out.

I said to myself that I'd defer final judgment on this transfer window (and the board) until 1st September.

Have to say it's been a struggle to remain positive at times but, with signings such as Forster, things would definitely start to look a little rosier.

Good to know i've got right under your skin.

A bit of insight in to the man you are getting

Fraser Forster had a daily routine which verged on OCD. He rose at 6:00, ate his first meal of the day, drove to Lennoxtown (while eating six pancakes, as it happens), then worked-out in the gym. He stopped for ‘breakfast’ with the rest of the team, his third intake of the day, before training started at 10:00.

After training the players take lunch, then head home. Fraser stayed, back to the gym, or some specialist work with goalkeeper coach Stevie Woods, before heading home at 16:30. He was first to arrive and last to leave, every day.

This was his routine, broken only something as rare as a dentist visit. Every biological and fitness measurement was documented with improvements targeted.

Years ago, he decided he was going to this year’s World Cup. The personal relationship, which took visits to London to maintain, was put on hold. The visits interrupted the work schedule for two days, which he couldn’t afford.

There is a reasonable
