James 5,331 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 On 13 July 2015, Chelsea signed Begović on a four-year deal for a fee of £8 million. As part of the deal Chelsea also offered midfielder Marco van Ginkel in part exchange to Stoke on loan for the 201516 season.He made his debut nine days later on Chelsea's pre-season tour, coming on at half time for Thibaut Courtois with Chelsea 10 up against the New York Red Bulls, but the match ended in a 24 defeat. Manager José Mourinho defended Begović's performance, attributing it to fatigue. His first competitive fixture was the 2015 FA Community Shield on 2 August at Wembley Stadium, in which he was unused in a 10 loss to rivals Arsenal. Six days later he came on as a substitute for Oscar when Courtois was sent off for conceding a penalty with a foul on Bafétimbi Gomis, who converted it for a 22 draw. On 16 August, Begović made his first competitive start for Chelsea in a 30 away loss to Manchester City.Click here to view the record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 It was laughed off when people subtle suggested he's been in the top 5 best 'keepers in the league since forever now . "we have the best back-up" is as far as most comments would go, with hardly any singing his praises or putting faith in the idea of him as a potential #1 for us. (Nevermind the reminders that he's a "good player but not a top one", for some reason.)He's been on Cech's level for a couple years, and has surpassed Cech's current level. Just a few weeks ago, such a comment was thrown onto the "undiagnosed delusion" pile where the posts the majority disagree with get thrown. Now, I hope it's more agreed. Begovic is the shit. He is UP there.He is, but to call him better than Cech is obscene, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iseah100 5,612 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 To think people said this was a useless signing and wanted Rob Green or some other shit keeper. Thank god for Asmir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 He is, but to call him better than Cech is obscene, IMO. Cech has always been class but he was never really as good as he was before his head injury I feel. Wouldn't say Begovic is better than him either though.Anyway as long as Begovic realizes as soon as Courtois is fit hes gonna be dropped its all good. Courtois is the best keeper in the league in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtois is the best keeper in the league in my eyes. Every time I read that I feel like punching a wall. It's one of those myths that pundits say to make themselves look knowledgeable and everyone else just repeats. His best performances came between 2010 and 2013. The man almost single-handedly won us the CL and FA cup in 2012 and then he went on to have what, for me, was hist best ever season in 2012-13. The amount of times he made a crucial save at 0-0 or late one with a single goal lead was just ridiculous. He was, for me, the best keeper in the world in those two seasons.

LAM09 7,056 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Conceded three goals, but was probably still our MOTM. Our defence are a joke.He's having to do more here than he did at Stoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
