Iāve always said Buffon is the nicest man in football.
[font=verdana][size=3]Juventus[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3] face Celtic in the Champions League and [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Gigi[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3] [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Buffon[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3] is very impressed with goalkeeper Fraser Forster.[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]
āOf course I know about Fraser,ā he told the Daily Record newspaper in Scotland.[/size][/font]
[font=verdana][size=3]
āI watch all the top young goalkeepers in the world and Iām sure he can become one of them. The top three young goalkeepers in the world for me are Joe Hart, Manuel Neuer and Salvatore Sirigu. It will be one of those three who will go on to be the best in the world.[/size][/font]
[font=verdana][size=3]
āBut if Forster keeps on playing like he is there is no reason he canāt be close to or even in that group.[/size][/font]
[font=verdana][size=3]
āIn a goalkeeper I donāt just look for the great saves but for the authority and confidence he shows. As a goalkeeper you can make only one or two mistakes a season if you want to be the best.[/size][/font]
[font=verdana][size=3]
āItās in the big games where you see character because that is where you are most likely to make mistakes. I have seen both games he played against Barcelona now and not only did he make great saves, he looked confident. He didnāt look like a goalkeeper who was going to make a mistake.ā[/size][/font]

Juventus visit Glasgow on February 12 and play the second leg in Turin on March 6.[/size][/font]

āFraser is about to play in two big games in the last 16 of the Champions League and it is clear to me he has not only the talent but the character for games like this,ā continued Buffon.
[font=verdana][size=3]āHe has another two big games to show Europe what he can do and from what I have seen in him I am sure he will show Europe again.ā[/size][/font]

Rogne seems to have tickets on himself holding out for a better offer. He had potential undoubtedly but Iāve lost patience with his injuries, his walking off the pitch with a groin niggle after 20 minutes when he is fit enough to start, and heās incredibly slow. Heās not a better player than he was when he arrived, still just potential, so he should be delighted with any sort of improved contract.

I can exclusively reveal that weāll be signing Rami Gershon on an initial loan deal with first option to buy him permanently for GBPĀ£800k from Standard Liege. He has the same agent as Kayal and Ambrose - Dudu Dahan.

Dudu hasnāt let us down before.
Rami Gershon will be arriving in Glasgow today. The manager is away for a few days before the squad reconvenes early next week for the training camp in Spain so I donāt think the signing will formally be announced until the weekend at the earliest.
Chris Hughton attended the match at Celtic Park yesterday and Norwich are being linked with a Ā£5m bid for Beram Kayal in the press today on the back of it.
Yeah, he was touted initially in the media as another left back option but he certainly appears to be a centre back who can fill in at left back. We already have players who can slot in at left back without it necessarily being their favourite/recognised position like Mulgrew, Matthews and even Ledley. It could of course be a signal that Rogne may be on his way out and we simply want to strengthen our pool at centre back.
He looks quite rugged and tough in that video, for a Jew anyway, which should bode well for him on the domestic front. On the other hand he seems to have a propensity to dive into tackles which doesnāt sit too well with me. Think Celtic badly need to bring in a couple of wide options in January, I do expect this chap to be the solitary signing though. Hopefully the return of Stokes can boost the attack and get more out of the lethargic, yet undroppable Gary Hooper.
Edinburgh derby was very grim in the first half. Expected a bit better from Hibs after beating us the other day. Sticking with it for the moment and itās improved early in the second half - Eoin Doyle has just missed a great chance for Hibs.
that edinburgh derby was absolute tripeā¦utter shiteā¦hibs hadnĀ“t one player in midfield who could actually control the ball and take a touchā¦hearts had oneā¦hibs keeper was lucky he wasnĀ“t caught out from corners a few timesā¦dire gameā¦
Is leigh griffths related to montgomery burns??..side profile look quite similarā¦ :strokechin:
Did anyone else know that my favourite actor and actress are both actually massive Celtic supporters? I didnāt even know it myself until yesterday. Hail hail to Jay Baruchel (Irish descent) and the beautiful Alison Brie (studied theatre in Glasgow).
