Mark Schwarzer

[zolayes 14,489]

he was excellent last year ,,well worth keeping

[CHOULO19 24,332]

"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."

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

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.

Does this mean Cech is leaving? He said he wants Courtois back next season

No, but it makes sense to keep an older, more experienced, and most importantly reliable keeper who doesn't mind being second choice as backup to a your highly rated young keeper.

Who knows maybe Mark is happy seeing out his career as a 3rd choice, maybe a coaching role will come as part of the deal.

If we do keep both Cech and Courtois and somehow they both get injured, I would rather Schwarzer than Blackman that's for sure.
