Looks like we could be signing Craig Gordon folks.

Deal almost done Chris, shouldn't be too hard to finalise? Looks like it could come down to lenghth of contract games played and/or reacurrance of injury, he's been training with us for a few weeks so all must seem ok.

Good bit of business IMO, great if injury free, predicted he would have been one of Keane's first signings so happy enough

Craig Gordon. I can't believe we're going after a can't who trained wi Sevco, Hearts n even Dumbarton without earning a deal last season! Who sanctioned this?! Desmond? Lawwell? Park?

His injuries were perceived as being career threatening and he was not looking for a contract from The Manky Mob or Hearts quite simply training facilities with professionals who he could gauge himself against as part of his rehabilitation. If Celtic sign him (he will have to pass a stringent medical before being offered any deal) it may well soften the blow a bit if Forster leaves as anticipated especially if he gets anywhere near the form he showed for The Embra Manky Mob before his £9 million transfer to Sunderland.He is still young enough that his best years could be ahead of him.

{Ed007's Note - A near 32 year old GK with two dodgy knees who has hardly played a match in 4 years does not have his best years ahead of him by any stretch of the imagination. If Sevco were signing him we'd be pi$$ing ourselves laughing at them, at least Kenny Miller has been playing football the last few years. Gordon was very interested in signing for for the Zombies, or Hearts, as soon as he thought he had a chance of playing again.
Do people actually think about the standard of players we are linked with or do they all just miraculously become great signings one way or another as soon as we're linked with them? How the hell would signing Gordon soften the blow if Forster, an English World Cup GK, left? Gordon has played in 16 matches since the last World Cup, would you be confident going into CL qualifiers with Zaluska or Gordon in goals?}

If celtic sign Craig Gordon and Forster leaves then I'm gonny be really really worried, what sort of ambition is this!!, a 32 year old keeper with two dodgy knees and hasn't played in 3 years is just utterly pathetic. Fair enough if Forster does stay, I wouldn't mind him fighting it out with zaluska for number 2 but If he's our number 1 nxt season then it speaks volumes to whoevers sanctioning this deal, disgrace!
