Jussi Jaaskeleinen

[Tomo 21,399]

Tried to do this earlier but their was an error then the thread went missing.

Just been released from his contract with Bolton.

Im wondering with Chelsea fans in general not trusting Hilario and especially Turnbull if Cech gets a long term injury.

Baring that in mind would Jussi make sense as a short term number 2 until Courtois finishes his loan deals?

He is very experienced in Premier League football, he was one of the best keepers in the league a few years back (in my opinion) and if the worse was to happen and Cech got a long term injury with Courtois away on a season long loan, we are choosing between Hilario and Turnbull, it would be much for comfortable for us if a experienced PL goalkeeper can just come and slot in, no?

At 37 he will be nothing more than a stop gap until Thibaut has finished his loan programme so don't see any harm in offering a keeper of his experience and quality 1 year contracts until the Belgium is ready to come and push Cech for number 1.

I personally believe he will be a very astute short term signing.
