Not good enough at Middlesbrough last season. Inexperienced. Who'd you rather bring on as a sub at half-time if Begovic was injured: an unproven youth or a World Cup winner? Amelia is by no means a great goalkeeper but he's experienced and that is what we need if we lose another GK to injury whilst Thibaut is out.

Blackman is 22 and he has only played one senior game, we can't afford losing points because of a shity goallie. Tibo will be out till December, Begovic can get injured or suspended any time, we need an experienced backup. Schwarzer and Hilarious were 3rd choice GK-s but played a fair amounts of games for Chelsea.

Haha, Mourinho said on Friday that they are not close to sign another goalkeeper and they're not trying to because they trust in what they have. This article above states that Amelia trained in Chelsea for a week. Lol. You can't say more straight lies than Mourinho regarding transfers

I wouldn't call him a "shitty goalie" as he is actually technically a very nice goalkeeper, but your point is correct. We need an experienced second-choice.

Oh I agree in that regards. I imagine we'll sort a loan for him - being third-choice (fourth when TBO returns) is helping no-one.

World cup winner coming to our team. Season will get turned around really quickly. Italian power right there

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Is he a right back?

[Tomo 21,751]

Providing he's happy to be #3 and we don't need the squad space I hope he stays as long as possible, a world class, very good and decent keepers will be a very strong band to have and we know as Much as anyone how quickly you can be down to 3rd choice.
