Mark Schwarzer

[BluesChick 1,260]

Finally, a no. 2 that won't give me heart palpitations when he comes in for Cech! I have missed Cudicini and his ability to step in and not scare the hell out of me! Hilario makes me nervous every time he is on the pitch and poor Turnbull just can't seem to cope with the pressure.

Welcome Mark!

thank god... no more of the 10mil for john ruddy bullshit... perfect signing, free and more than capable of challenging cech plus also just a one-year contract.

Challenging Cech ?

Said it about ten times already... Mark Schwarzer.

Called this one ages ago

Challenging Cech ?

if lopez can challenge cassilas then why cant schwarzer challenge cech... the point of being a back-up/squad option is that the first teamers dont take their place for GRANTED and put in good performances consistently (not that cech does not do that).

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Great piece of bussiness, Mark looks like great lad and will match with Cech brilliantly.

Welcome!

As everyone as said already this is a great bit of business! Just De Rossi and we will be complete and will DEFINITELY secure the title, I've never been so sure.

Good signing. Nice to see we didn't bow down to Norwichs massive price for Ruddy and told them to fuck off and brought another player in.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I bet Norwich are absolutely KICKING THEMSELVES they didn't accept £7m for John fucking Ruddy! :lol

Tears to my eye.

because casillas struggled at some point and then got injured and Diego Lopez was a beast?

some people complain about Cech, but I think he did very well - top level - last season. I didn't see him struggling like Iker struggled before getting injured at all.

Great signing,

Norwich what a bunch of mugs for turning down 7m for Ruddy......

[Tomo 21,681]

Just shows how ITK the media really are, they didn't have a fucking clue about this

[Hutcho 8,443]

Absolutely perfect.

Absolutely great signing by the board. Can't believe how quickly that happened.

Perfect no 2.

I never thought I would be so happy about us signing a backup keeper. I wish all of our transfer business was like this. We have a need, then suddenly one day, boom! The player we've signed to fill said need is at Cobham, and it's a done deal. No quibbling, speculation or other bullshit.

[Jase 43,479]

As everyone have said, it's a good signing. Solved our small issue with the goalkeepers.

Now for the ongoing and persisting striker and midfield department...

Is Hilario still here or not? He is listed on the website but I though he was released.
