manpe 10,629 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Well at least the club recognises that a great goalkeeper is vital.Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
dreamcfc 154 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 No doubt. If this is true, it would be a massive statement from the club but we've been penny pinching for a while now, all of a sudden we are massively outbidding Real Madrid ? Link to post Share on other sites

We are not the kind of club that is going to be doubling the world record transfer fee for a goalkeeper. I would love for us to get this over the line and get rid of Tibo after his antics the last couple of years, he's just not that good. While I like the fact "important" players can maybe persuade the board to invest more, our future is up in the air partly because of him. I don't even think he'll end up at Real, only reason people are sniffing around is because he will be cheap. We wouldn't gross spend wise, but if Tibo's funding most of it then it's a different ball game. Link to post Share on other sites

Tibo will go for peanuts, he’s on his last year and isn’t looking likely to sign a new deal. Honestly, if he were half way through a contract and commanding 60m+ fees I doubt many clubs would be interested (unless Belgium win the World Cup lol) Link to post Share on other sites

He may have a shit personality (from what he lets you see on camera) but he's a bloody good keeper. He will probably command about £40m still which will mean for all intents and purposes Alisson will cost £20-30m which is pretty standard. Link to post Share on other sites
Special Juan 26,204 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 A transfer triangle if you believe what you read...Tibo wants out, Madrid need a keeper, Becker is commanding a bigger club and more money....Madrid cash for Tibo allows us to pay for Allison. This isn't beyond any realms of dreams that we could get Alisson, the Tibo cash goes a long way to getting the keeper we want/need. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry I just don't rate him that highly, he's been nothing but a consistently average keeper for me, not saying he's bad or terrible, he just does the job he should.. the hype was due to us thinking we had a stable keeper for the next decade, instead he's in the news every year saying he wants to go to real madrid. He's never had a standout season with us, compare with De Gea who's had many and won half the trophies. Link to post Share on other sites

Many times in both title winning season's Tibo kept his concentration up to make that one save after ages of inactivity, that's probably the most crucial skill at the top level for a keeper.

Dimitr 488 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Chelsea are on the verge of beating Liverpool and Real Madrid to the signing of Alisson according to the Mirror. yes! But I want to read “according to di marzio” Link to post Share on other sites

Well, DiMarzio said we had already rejected a bid for Tbo in the region of 40 million pounds. Other reports say we are looking to get 50 million for him. If we do get this much, it'd be a good deal considering he has less than 12 months left. Link to post Share on other sites

Penny pinching for years, then suddenly paying £60-70m for a goalkeeper makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. And don't get this wrong, I would absolutely love to have Alisson here. However, as things stand I still think it's more likely that we'll sell Courtois for £60m and then buy Schmeichel or Cillessen for £20-30m. Link to post Share on other sites
mccg 1,528 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hell no , i'd rather pinch pennies and get the best homegrown keeper out there , and spend the silly money on cm/dm , wingers, strikers et etc ,and taking up slots with 3 keepers non-homegrown is quite simple ...wrong !!! but then so much wrong at CFC wtf . Funk it Donald Trump nxt manager! Link to post Share on other sites

Special Juan 26,204 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Matteo Pedrosi reporting this, think this has legs now. 🔥 #RealMadrid, there is the offer for #Courtois: Understanding already reached with the Belgian goalkeeper, only the yes of Chelsea is missing. Blues decisively on #Alisson. And the #Roma can sink the blow for #Areola, allowing PSG. New weaving-goalkeepers in sight. #calciomercato Link to post Share on other sites
