Better than what we have, although his injury record is a concern. Should be easy enough to deal with if we can offer a coaching role too. We could do worse but could we do better.

Age is never really a concern with keepers for me but we need someone for sure.

Don't get the clamour to have him back, great Hearts keeper in his day, time to move on. I hope our new manager will assess the situation and look at a keeper who meets his style.

I do completely agree with you, but the only thing is he’s definitely better than all of our other keepers. 
 

I would rather that we brought in someone fresh though.

I am of the same Opinion he’s better then what we have but we need to move Forward Gordon was amazing for hearts but he is not what we need now

He's still a high quality goalkeeper who would give us a good 18 months I reckon

If his wages were reasonable I'd take him back as a short term measure. Don't know if he has plans to get into coaching?

I wouldn't complain if CG signed. Can't understand he's our only possible option. There must be championship and league 1 teams with decent keepers.we can consider.

Hard position to fill . We did well to get McLoughlin(?) but have struggled since .

You look at Pereira contracted to Man U but really just not that good , though still young .

Gordon might be the best keeper we can get

Come home craigy boy we need you

Third choice keeper after loaner Forster who they want to sign and Bain, they may want to free the wage if Gordon doesn't want the money and would rather play football...

Be a big tallisman for Hearts. Think he would do well for a season and a half. Get him in. I dont think he will be expensive.

No to Gordon. He's had his time with us and he had his chance to come back and chose to go to Celtic instead. I'm not saying that was a bad choice for him but that is what he chose. If he turns out to be a good coach then he can come back and fill that role but it's a definite no to come back as a player.

 

Hopefully our new boss or Sporting director can find someone better than that and a lot younger too.

Headline hearts release Gordon from his Parkhead hell

Other than the Evening News, and even there I have my doubts, there is no chance of any of the weegie media writing that.

‘Flop Gordon Mercilessly Dumped’ is more likely.

I am sure we wanted him as the goalkeeping coach, when we came out of admìnistration.

He wanted to concentrate on playing to make up for all the lost playing time.

Circumstances very much different now

As a stop gap before transitioning quickly into coaching it'd have merit but nervy on two counts;

a) how much will it cost/will it represent value?

b) feel we resemble dads army already and would like to see us focus back onto youth/player development

rudi must stay

Past it IMO. Bain is not a great keeper but right now he's twice the keeper of Craig Gordon, and that says alot.

 

Yes agree with the above poster, you have to think long term with keepers

Would Celtic release him early? In January?  I doubt it.


Not if he was going to Hearts

Decent keeper in his day but prone to a few brain farts, better than what we have but time for someone different I feel. 

Watched The mankhy mob last night and he cost them a goal due to not cutting out a ball on his 6 yard line. Naughty Naughty.

bring him back, if the opportunity surfaces, it´s an absolute no brainer.

 

And no we couldn´t do better than him, would be a major coup if we can get him

2 Years younger than Mcgregor who is probably the best keeper in the league so no reason we can't get 2 or 3 seasons from him. Another great pro for the youngsters to be inspired by and he would be a great signing.

Better than the mess we have right now but he is not a long term solution. 

 

I'd take him on loan to the end of the season and try get rid of Zlamal in January. Doyle as backup will have to do, his extension seemed to be compassionate based but given his family situation that is fair enough assuming his new deal was the lowest salary and there is funds for a new number 1 keeper in the summer.

No, he will bring his own man in. Will need a goalkeeper good with his feet. That ain't Gordon. Time to move on people. 

 

 

Tbh, We need a goalkeeper that can keep the goal. 

 

Anything else is a bonus at our level.

As long as a goalkeeper can produce top class save and command his area I dont give a shit if they are good with their feet. Gordon can be a bit iffy at the commanding his area bit but he is a million miles better than what we have. 

 

At our level we need to get the fundamentals correct  before looking at anything specialised.

He looks very suspect for Celtic when he has played. Best days are behind him. Move on from getting old plays back please!

This is my feelings.  

 

I also fear he would be a constantly injured, top up pension player.

Fair to say Craig Gordon would be a huge improvement on what we have,  but would we get a full season out of him  ?

 

Think the door is shut on this one.

I agree with you and loved Gordon when he was with us, i think our manager will be looking for a keeper more suited to the way he wants to play, including passing and comfortable with the ball at his feet.

Perth to Paisley

Definitely better than what we have but high pressing requires a goalie who dominates their box and has good distribution. (Googled High pressing player profiles)

Best will in the World Craig doesn't fit that!

Given his age I think we could do better too.

Best keeper in the league is McGregor and he’s ancient too.
