Some Celtic fans have made it clear that they want to see Fraser Forster join the club on a permanent basis soon.
Hoops-related page ‘Celtic1967.com’ recently posted about the club’s transfer business and asked Celtic fans about who their dream signing in the summer transfer window would be, alongside images of summer arrivals Forster and fellow Southampton loanee Mohamed Elyounoussi.
On seeing this, many Celtic fans made it clear that Forster would be their dream signing and they want his move to be made permanent.
Like to keep both but if I had to pick one it would definitely be big Forster!

Can Celtic afford to sign Forster permanently
Absolutely!
I don't think so
Fraser Forster. Brilliant keeper.

Anyone who doesn’t say Forster is either lying to themselves or is Scott Bain

It has to be Forster. Elyounoussi would be nice but at a reasonable price.

Forster joined Celtic on loan from Southampton in the summer, to mark a return to Parkhead. His first spell at the club had ended when he had joined the Saints in the summer of 2014 (via Transfermarkt).
What do we think?
In the Europa League, Forster recorded an average WhoScored match rating of 6.88. He had racked up impressive ratings against Lazio, Cluj and French side Rennes. He also saved a penalty in the knockout game against Copenhagen, while he also saved a penalty against Rangers in the League Cup final back in December.
This shows how crucial he has been for the Hoops, which suggests that signing him permanently may not be a bad idea at all.
