doddisalegend Posted 27 June, 2018 Share Posted 27 June, 2018 Well deserved I don't think its an exaggeration to say his performances in the last few games of the season where the difference between us going down and staying up son absolutely vital saves in those last games.

Chez Posted 27 June, 2018 Share Posted 27 June, 2018 Good news. He looked very assured last season. How good he really is I am not sure. I just know that he is better than Forster. I wonder whether Forster will now actually look for a move or simply bide his tide waiting for another chance or indeed just sit on the bench collecting the vast sums we are paying him?

You'd think Forster would have to swallow a fair dip in club level and wages to move on. His stock hasn't exactly risen over the last season.

Ohio Saint Posted 27 June, 2018 Share Posted 27 June, 2018 Relieved to see everyone is pleased! I half expected to be reading how stupid I was for being happy about this! He was our best player last season, albeit that was not hard, but I expect him to consolidate and maybe improve a little next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 28 June, 2018 Share Posted 28 June, 2018 Not long ago, there was concern we could lose McCarthy following his excellent performances and talk of consideration for England. Great work by the club to fend off others with a 4-year contract. Maybe they had little choice but to put him on similar pay to Forster but it's still the right and proper thing to do. Whether Forster will regain the form that had him in goal for England, and displays like the one he gave against Arsenal, who know, but we do now have the keeper position covered with a good back up. Wages, Yes, but no transfer fee involved, can't be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 28 June, 2018 Share Posted 28 June, 2018 It is obviously good that we do not have to waste money on a new keeper. We must hope his form is not transient. The demise of Fraser Forster is a complete mystery to me and many of you one suspects. Obviously he is not going to hang around here warming the bench. Presumably the club are hoping that some highly paid players will seek other clubs so are likely to have told a few that they can leave; the rest is up to their agents. Most would have FF in that category but what if Mac gets crocked early on in the season? Gunn should still be a target even if we cannot guarantee him first team football.

Matthew Le God Posted 28 June, 2018 Author Share Posted 28 June, 2018 It is obviously good that we do not have to waste money on a new keeper. We still may sign a new keeper for big money this summer. 3 hours ago Sky Sports reported Saints are looking to sell Forster and buy Angus Gunn... http://www.skysports.com/transfer/news/11095/11419911/southampton-open-to-offers-for-fraser-forster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
