It appears Chelsea have signed Mark Schwarzer... ‎#cfc

on a free. would be a great signing rather than spending 5-6m on Ruddy !

just saw this.. fantastic news great back up and more rest for petr as he is still a decent keeper

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Perfect signing if true.

[Marvin123 483]

Brilliant!!!

Just posted this in the General transfer talk but I guess it deserves it's own thread. The picture looks real but these days one can never be sure.

Brilliant signing if true, I've been calling for this ever since Fulham released him after signing Stekelenburg.

[DavidEU 2,023]

Very very happy with this. Certainly an upgrade on what we had last year, short term, experienced, wont demand games and havent spent £10m on a backup. Ticks all the boxes.

Next up, de Rossi.

Very decent signing if true.

Great signing.BTW does schwarzer qualify as homegrown?

[ulsterchelsea 3,179]

Excellent piece of business, no confirmation tho?

[The Skipper 20,593]

Great signing.BTW does schwarzer qualify as homegrown?

No, but it's alright because it's short term. Maybe next year we get Ruddy for a cheaper price so he can be our long term 2nd choice goalkeeper.

I did a google search by image for the pic and got "Kevin De Bruyne Chelsea". Not sure if that is means it is photoshopped or what..

And what with Petr?

Can't imagine Courtois ain't coming back..

[Jusek 2,031]

Perfect signing. He's just perfect backup goalkeeper.

[Magic Lamps 10,984]

Lol. Instead of annoucing they just let Mark stray around at our facilities waiting for a photographer to spot him?

Maybe he is not signed yet and we just assess his fitness etc before he signs a contract

epic from Chelsea great number 2 of true

Probably not. Now there's that other picture too where he clearly wears the same clothes as he does in the first picture and surely no one would go through so much trouble just to post some bullshit?

Some media outlets starting to pick this up too. The pictures seem to be real and basically they confirm that Schwarzer was at Cobham but at the moment it's unclear whether he signed or not.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

The caption on the Associated Press site even reads "Chelsea's new signing Mark Schwarzer meets Christophe Lollichon after training at Cobham Training Ground on 9th July 2013 in Cobham, England."

Shame we have to rely on other outlets before the club announces it, but oh well.
