Steve Harper

Has he retired or is he open to offers from clubs next season?

If so, i think offering him a one year deal makes sense.

Home grown, will be happy to be back up and is a pretty decent back up, class above what we had previously.

Its all good saying we should promote two academy goallies but the two deputies imo should be one youth and one experience, so Harper and Blackman would be the right mix to understudy Cech next term.

Mark Schwarzer's available on a free.

[Toli 977]

we should go for Jake Harper tbh.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

We should probably make this a generic GK thread for potential number 2's?

Is Rustu still available? His frightening look alone would put you off scoring

[Reddish-Blue 2,231]

Schwarzer, Harper, even Robert Green is available on a free...

All of them would be good enough backups to Cech on a 1 year deal.

doubt he will leave his pm post tbh

Won't julio cesar want to work with Mourinho and get out of that shit hole that is qpr?

Then there is Lopez from Madrid who I'm sure will want to leave.

Julio Cesar's not going to accept a bench role in a WC year

Harper wasn't even Newcastles number two last year.

Krul, Elliot, Harper.

No thanks. I'm sure a deal for a decent back-up is already done or Hilario/Turnbull would have had an extension.

I'm not. This is Chelsea we're on about here, Dave.
