CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Very much expected news. He deserves to play in the CL after helping his team reach it and there's no point bringing him back to rot on the bench.Well this is interesting, I thought with us releasing Hilario and Turnbull, that was a indication Thibaut would stay with us. That being said, there's going to be some very good back-up keepers up for grabs this summer. Guys like Begovic, Mignolet, Sorensen, Cesar etc are all up for grabs.None of those will agree to be second choice especially in a WC year (except Sorensen, may be). I'd love Middlesbrough's Steele. Excellent young keeper who, for me, is better than Buttland and without all the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The incentives for playing for Chelsea & Mourinho (plus some extra 0's at the end of the paycheck) may be some incentive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Schwarzer and Rob Green both available on free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blu35_army 551 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Schwarzer and Rob Green both available on free.the first one is more capable,,anyway how old Schwarzer's age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mybodyisready 155 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 40, get him for 1 year then next season have 1. Courtois 2. Cech 3. Blackman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,506 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Schwarzer and Rob Green both available on free.Just take Rob Green or even Lee Camp. Both of them are better than Turnbull and they'd be considered as part of our homegrown quota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blu35_army 551 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Yes,,we must extend his contract until 2020 & put the release clause over than 50 million pounds...there's no every 100 years we have a talented GK like him..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthos 35 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Schwarzer only wants to be at a club where he can be #1 keeper so can keep his place for the Socceroos WC 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,506 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 only wants to be at a club where he can be #1 keeper so can keep his place for the Socceroos WC 14 To be fair..the Socceroos don't really have a keeper who can seriously challenge Schwarzer before WC 14.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I'd take Rob Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Steve Harper and Richard Wright are also available on a free. But I'd also rather take a former English NT keeper (ok does not say much) over these two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I would actually take Harper on a 1 year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 PL rules say we should have 3 keepers as Courtis is staying for another year on loan and Turnbull and Hilario are leaving we only have Cech and Blackman so we need to sign another We have sam walker.

chelsea blue 615 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Sam Walker was on loan at Colchester last season but i think we need a bit more experienced goalkeeper someone on loan for 1 season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s totally my choice and I’ve not spoken to (Jose) Mourinho about it. But I think the club has confidence in me to come back in a year’s time.”Skysports quoted he has spoken with Jose, but Mirror quoted that he has not spoken with Jose yet. :confused:Anyway, for certain he will going on loan again, it would be wise if we offer him a contract extension first before let him leave on loan.

Reddish-Blue 2,506 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 What about Mathew Ryan? I know he's young. But how good is he?He moved to Club Brugge at the end of May for a reported 180,000...and apparently he's had trials at Spurs, Wigan, Celtic in the past year.Hope he gets some experience in Belgium...him and Langerak should be competing for the Socceroos #1 jersey (if they develop as expected) once Schwarzer decides to call it a day.(Note: I always keep a close eye on talented Australians...cause that's where I grew up! ) Atholy and mybodyisready 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Sam Walker was on loan at Colchester last season but i think we need a bit more experienced goalkeeper someone on loan for 1 season Yeah he is not very experienced but he is only 3rd choice. And if something long term happened to Cech we would probably recall courtois. So It would save us having to but a GK. And would help with the homegrown numbers.
