Artur Boruc is not happy with being number 2 keeper at the club and would prefer to move on and seek first team football.
Ronald Koeman today confirmed that Artur Boruc is seeking to move away from Saints after being displaced as first choice keeper by Fraser Forster, this is an understandable reaction from Boruc who at his age needs first team football especially if he wante to continue to play for Poland.
Speaking ahead of Saturday's game against West Brom Koeman said
"Boruc is training like he did before. I spoke with him and he said he would like to move, that’s normal for his position, and until the transfer deadline he is not in the team. If he stays after then, it’s a new situation and we think about it. When he moves it will be best for Artur and best for club.
I’m not frustrated because I think it’s a normal situation of what he thinks of himself and that he wants to be in the Polish national team. To be part of that has to play and that’s normal, I can understand that because I like players who do everything to play, but difficult here because we made situation here clear."
This puts Saints back to square one with regards to goalkeepers should their first choice suffer an injury, Kelvin Davis is not up to the job and at his age is not going to get any better, Paulo Gazzaniga could be one for the future but has had a lot of bad luck in terms of being thrown in at the deep end and really needs to go out on loan to get experience and Cody Cropper has even less experience.
Saints probably now need to get both Croppper and Gazzaniga out on loan perhaps bringing in a keeper who would be prepared to sit on the bench, someone like Brad Friedel.
