Craig Gordon still training with us?

[OlegKuznetsov 10,816]

Is Craig Gordon still training with us? How is he coming along? Is he near a return to professional football?

If so would it be a good signing for both parties? It might be a good level to give him some game time and Cammy Bell has previously stated that he would welcome him.

Thoughts?

You must be fishing! Another goalkeeper? Nah we're good

[ClydebankBearWATP 877]

Although knowing Ally....

[jimfaebrigton 31]

He said hes 100% and waitin fir offers hes no played for 2 years si idont think he'll want much money

[The Dude 15,688]

It's been in the papers in the last few days that he's actively looking to return now. They all mentioned that he'd been strainng with us but it was never made clear if it's ongoing. Play him as a trialist Could do far worse if the money is right.

[Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,129]

Heard talk of Aberdeen wanting him last year.

[Johnny Dangerously 7,426]

Wouldn't put it past the tims to try and get him if they decide to let Frankenstein go.

[ClydebankBearWATP 877]

Are people seriously saying this should be a goer? Even if the money is right it's just a signing for signings sake! He's not played for two years ffs, he's not needed and bell and simonsen will do just fine for now

Even at 30, he could be a good investment given his past.

I suppose JS would be the man to judge.

Not for me, especially with him being out for two years, a signing for signings sake

We'd need to up Jim Stewart's wages, if he's got another top-class keeper to look after!

(It was a joke, before anyone gets after me!)

[Antwilhar 4]

He'll end up at then beggars after they sell lurch in the summer.

[Robespierre 589]

I can confirm he's still training with us.

Cheers, mate.

Yep still training with us, as to signing him, well Simonsen was only signed for the year, but I don't think we should as Gallagher I feel should be the No2 Goalie and push Bell for that number 1 spot.

Steve Simonsen posted this on Twitter a few weeks ago. That's Gordon on the far right.

Five of them! And not one of them is taking up the correct position?

What does Jim Stewart teach them?

Careful!

I'd like to see us adopt a rotational policy when it comes to goalkeepers next season. Bell playing one game one week, and Gordon playing the next.

Simonsen is about 90, and Gallacher's contract expires at the end of the season, and is unlikely to be renewed.

Gordon would be a much better alternative to both.

Rotating Goalies is the worst thing imaginable, maybe one in the league and one for the cups that would be the only scenario where I would ever change my goalie unless he was injured, suspended or had a really bad dip in form over a few games.

You are at it

More than any other the goalkeeper is the one area of the pitch you don't want to chop and change.

It seems to be working for Real Madrid.

The exception to the rule.

What possible reason/justification can you have for wanting us to sign another pricey keeper for the level we are at and rotate him with our current (highly paid) number one.

It's one of the most baffling ideas I've read on here in ages tbh.

Less so for Hull City....

I don't expect us to be at this level for much more than a year. Next season isn't going to be easy and we need to make improvements to the squad at any level and at any opportunity.

If there was a chance for us to sign Scotland's greatest goalkeeper of this generation for free, I would take it.
