Why don't we just get Craig Gordon on a free? Scott Carson was also available for £700,000.

He will hand in a transfer request him.

Why don't we go after Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster, he is also English and played game of his life last year against Barcelona?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

^ because to sign him would end his career - he is nowhere near Cech's or Courtois' level.

This signing makes no sense, NO SENSE whatsoever.

Don't give me the "he's English" excuse. £10 million?

Absolute bollocks.

[Ollie 4,400]

If we want a bench warmer GK, we should be spending no more than 2 million. He's never, never, never EEEVVEEEER going to be our number 1. Drop it and move to Paul Robinson, Scott Carson or even Rob fucking Green.

So we got one of the best GK in the world and the best young GK in the world, yet still gonna pay top money for a decent back up? Make no sense what so ever, £10m is A LOT FOR A GK.

Courtois wouldn't come back here and sit on the bench, hence why he staying at Atletico where he is gaining valuable game time and is a regular starter. The club have the whole situation in hand, we either allow Courtois to grow and develop or fetch him back and let him rot on the bench. This is the catch 22 we are in, if Cech gets injured we have a problem, I don't mind Hilario but we need better to strengthen the squad.

[Ollie 4,400]

Cech is number 1. Season after Cech will still be number 1 with Courtois getting experience here as his number 2. Season after Courtois will be number 1 so maybe Cech will go. We're only looking for back up. You don't spend £10m on back up!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Said it about ten times... Mark Schwarzer.

I'm not quite as anti this deal as some people, providing Ruddy is happy with benching. He's a big guy, he's English and if he's happy with the situation at Chelsea (he'd be back-up to Cech and then Courtois) then we're potentially looking at 10 years of service from him.

Plus he's a good keeper, which is always nice to have in a back-up as well as providing that competition to keep the number one on his toes. In the past, players like Turnbull have cost us goals which we simply can't afford.

[The Skipper 20,609]

He's miles better than Turnbull.
