Not being funny here - I think Jamal has a good career ahead of him (albeit not at Chelsea...), but if Cech suffers a recurrence of his serious calf and/or elbow injuries and is out for 2-3 months, do you want Blackman as our number 1? I don't...

I think he'll be a good back-up for courtois in the years to come.

Yeah I agree. If Cech suffers a long-term injury, I think we call back Courtois.

Costs a lot of money to recall players from their loans, though, unless Atletico have agreed to a recall-clause.

Thats why we need a backup keeper who can fill in for Cech...and as you've mentioned in the other thread...Schwarzer or Green on a 1-year deal wouldn't be a bad option.

Not taking anything away from Blackman..but his skill-set is very raw.

I've never been that convinced about him, but he was fantastic the other night. Pulled off a reflex save that we'd be oohing about if it was Courtois and looked very secure elsewhere. Probably deserves a good loan to a Championship team but I'd be surprised if he was anything more than a future back-up for us although that's no bad thing.

I like this. It looks like we have a plan for him, don't think he'd have signed such a long contract if we hadn't.

I think the 5 year contract is a common concept

Bertrand signed a 5 year contract (doubling his wage) at the end of 2012....and now he's all but gone from the club (Hull or Villa being likely destinations)
