Rumoured Rob Green

[the wes 7,212]

Chelsea are close to sealing the signing of QPR goalkeeper Rob Green, according to reports.

The Blues are planning for life after Petr Cech, with the club hero set to leave at the end of the season.

And as attention turns to who will replace him, reports say a £2million deal to sign Green from relegated QPR is set to go through.

Chelsea believed he’ll be solid competition for Thibaut Courtois, having impressed this term despite Rangers’ terrible defensive record.

Y not begovic/adrian?...

Homegrown

[yipo 56]

Cannot be worse than turnbull right

[OneMoSalah 8,613]

Just me that is upset at signing a former West Ham and QPR player? Even if he is English and gonna be a back up?

[Pizy 17,860]

Y not begovic/adrian?...

Both are far too good to be riding the bench. Begovic is good enough to start for a big club.

not at all happy with this transfer. this guy is a decent shot stopper but a perennial LOSER. he finds ways to lose. qpr were defending so well and he goes on to give the ball to hazard. not the guy we need/want. we have a bunch of HG/U-21 players - blackman/3rd GK, christensen/4thCB, ake/4th Full back, RLC/5th CM, 5th AM, 6th AM, JT, GC, cesc. if we are so adamant about getting HG players, get moses and make him the 5th AM or make bamford the 3rd ST, but rob green SHOULD NOT be our 2nd choice GK. need to get someone better.

Where is Diego Lopez when you need him? Or sign Schwarzer back.

exactly. or i would not mind signing brad freidel, but definitely not this guy.

by the way, lopez would be a GREAT option. he is rotting in milan. maybe a 2mil bid specially since we seem to be actually PAYING 2mil to buy green

[The Skipper 20,593]

We need a decent HG GK. Can't be wasting foreign spots on a reserve GK.

[lucio 5,390]

I think he is rubbish. Wouldn't trust him in goal

We need a decent HG GK. Can't be wasting foreign spots on a reserve GK.

why do we need more HG spots?

squad

GK - courtois, lopez, blackman(HG)

Defenders - JT (HG), varane, zouma (U-21), luis, iva, azpi, (U-21), (U-21)

CM/DMs - matic, cesc(HG), rambo/newDM, mikel/newDM, RLC(HG)

AMs - hazard, willian, oscar, cuadrado, bale/reus, U-21

Strikers - costa, remy, newST.

8 spots done. and this is the worst case scenario that we buy a new ST, 2new CM/DMs, 1 new AM, and replace GC(HG player) with varane.

the 2nd keeper spot is not a joke that we should be buying green to replace CECH. remember the years of having trollbull and hilarious as replacement. a small injury to cech had all of us hyperventalating.

[LondonsFinest 692]

He's coming as a back up. He has a blow here and there, but is overall good enough to be a 2nd choice goalkeeper. Plus he's homegrown. Overall, good buy.

[the wes 7,212]

six mistakes that led to goals hope we dont get him

I'm not saying we should get Green at all; he's not good enough. Someone like Begovic would be perfect. He's HG. We need to think long term wise as well - we could perhaps need an extra foreign spot in the future. It'd be good if we didn't waste it on our back up goalkeeper.

[Tomo 21,681]

Where is Diego Lopez when you need him? Or sign Schwarzer back.

Schwarzer was average for us, well beyond his prime, if Hilario performed like Mark did in the Sunderland and Leti games (the two that derailed our season) his thread would have exploded but Schwarzer for some reason got a free pass.

Keeper's scuff kicks all the time, we still had a lot to do after that clearance.

Plus he's not brilliant but he's isn't as bad as he makes out, to add he has statistically the best game ever for a PL keeper I think for West Ham at The Emirates in 2007.

mistakes are made but not when you are fighting for your life, and at that moment, qpr were fighting for their lives. i dont know how much that one point would have made a difference but you just never know in football.

one game, 8 year old. then there are mistakes after mistakes. remember the goal in WC. he is just not worth it. there are much much better options out there. diego lopez definitely is one of them. brad freidel can be got for free. but green is definitely not the answer.
