Steve Harper is not going to give up his number one jersey easily, but Pardew will face a showdown with Forster in the summer.
The kid has tasted success at Parkhead and there is no way he will return to Tyneside to be third choice goalkeeper.
Either Pardew lets him continue his loan at Celtic next season, or he makes him Number One at Newcastle.
Tim Krul: “This manager made it really clear that in summer he’ll see who’s going to be the No1.
“I really think this manager gives you a fair chance, and that’s all you can ask.
“For me, I’m committed to Newcastle. I enjoyed so much playing in the Premier League, and I just want to play for Newcastle in the Premier League.
“It was amazing playing Chelsea and Liverpool at home, and I’m just looking forward to the next period.
“This season has been more than I expected. Of course I was disappointed I was out of the team, because I really enjoyed my time in the goal.
“I thought I did well. It was a great experience and I can’t wait for the next period in the goal.
"The reserves win over Arsenal was good. It was great to get 90 minutes – that’s what you want from these kind of games.
“It was perfect timing. I was speaking with my goalie coach Andy Woodman, and I said ‘I need a game’. It’s always nice to get a win and make some saves, it couldn’t have been better.
“The important thing about these games is to put pressure on the manager and show that I’m here.”
