Mark Schwarzer

[LAB 1,030]

Thank you Mr Schwarzer for everything you're doing for Chelsea this season. Great character, very professional. Basically as good as it gets for a replacement GK for Chelsea. Probably better than at least 1/3 of the first choise GK's in the league. Bravo

Has Schwarzer been jinxed or something? He has kept a clean sheet in all but 3 games he has played for us this season and in those 3 games, it came against sides in red/white kits - twice against Sunderland and now Atletico!

José wants him for another season, its on SSN.

[Special Juan 27,425]

Mmm well this is getting interesting.

Can't be asked to count all the homegrown implications for this but I love the guy as second-choice and with Hilario gone he's even a good shout for third-choice.

Of course it could also mean that one of Courtois or Cech isn't going to be around either going into the season, or perhaps just for some of the season (a January transfer for whichever one we're not using??).

he was excellent last year ,,well worth keeping

"I've had messages from the boss, he's very keen for me to re-sign with the club.

"And that's all I really need to know, that he wants to keep me at the club and I'll leave the rest up to the powers-that-be to sort it all out.

"I'm confident it'll be sorted out in the next week or two."

"I still want to stay in Europe as long as possible. If I have the chance to stay at a club like Chelsea, I'd love to do so because it's an unbelievable experience.

"I had opportunities to play in the Champions League semi-final (at the end of last season) and vie for the title - and that's something invaluable and something I hadn't experienced before. And I wouldn't change anything for it."

Who doesn't?

Glad he is staying, he is a solid second choice and a top top guy.

New 1 year deal! So happy for Mark!

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

One more year for Mark. Great job, Chelsea board.

[stroey 2,525]

Great job Mark, deserved it!

Nice one. Still a very capable keeper although it raises questions about Cech and Courtois if we're going to go into next season with three non-homegrown keepers.

Glad he's staying though.

Best third choice keeper in the world

[didierforever 7,349]

just can see a trio of cech-thibaut-mark as our GK options.

have to say that it seems likely that thibaut is loaned out again.

cos makes no sense giving mark an extension and keeping him as 3rd choice.
