Choose your Chelsea 14/15 squad (goalkeeper)

[Melanicus 5,208]

So, I was thinking about makin a poll for every position and see who TalkChelsea chooses for the next season.

Let's start with goalkeepers.

We have a big, big dilemma in Courtois and Cech here.

In my opinion we should call back Courtois, because he is on Cech's level already and is much younger than Petr. We should sell Cech, because he deserves to play. I love him, but we can't just waste him on bench.

Second option should be Schwarzer, because he was absolute beast every time he jumped in this season. Give him one year contract again.

Third option I honestly don't know. I don't rate either Blackman or Hilario. But probably I would give Blackman a chance, because he is homegrown.

Schwarzer and Hilario have been released so I'm not sure why they're in the list, so out of the given options I chose Courtois, Cech and Blackman. Given Cech's injury record and the fact that he's going through a lengthy one now, it could very well be the repeat of 2004 when Cech de-throned Cudicini, now him being the one making way for an up and coming kid. In an ideal world we'd keep both and let them battle it out, but what's most likely going to happen is that Cech stays as our undisputed no.1 and Courtois extends/goes on another loan and we sign a cheap second goalkeeper to fill the ranks.

My preferred choice would be Courtois, his command of his box is unreal, claims a lot of balls. The premier league is a physical league, he'll shine even more in the prem.

Lampard has been released too and so? It just means that they haven't signed contract yet. The same thing was with Hilario last year, first he was released, but at the start of the season he was in squad again.

No.

Cech - Schwarzer - Blackman, based on the logic that I have a gut feeling Atletico will demand a fourth loan deal for Courtois as part of any Costa deal.

courtois-cech-blackman

a lopez-casillas situation. plus would give courtois some adapting period and cech to leave on a high as i fully expect us to win the league and some moe.

Courtois - Cech - Blackman

Courtois simply has to be number 1 next season. End of story IMO.

[Thendo 1,088]

I am still not sure what to do with the cech/courtois situation, I think it also depends on Cechs injury and recovery time.

[petr.breu 1,618]

It's hard to say that... Čech is the reason why a started support this fantastic club, he's still on the top level, but I will probably choose Courtois... Because he finally deserve a chance and it would be really bad to lose him...

[The Skipper 20,593]

If we're bringing Courtois back and keeping Cech then Courtois - Cech - Blackman,

If not then Cech - Schwarzer - Blackman will suffice as well.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Courtois, Blackman, Schwarzer. give Cech some administrative position - he is cool in suit

[iseah100 5,612]

Think Monaco come and try to swoop up Cech?
