Strike 7,492 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 5 hours ago, oldportblue said: no they don't always cost a lot like alisson... but those goalkeepers (ederson, pickford, leno) aren't available anymore and the ones you listed before were either too old, subpar or unavailable. To reiterate what I said, PSG said selling areola was out of the question... as to the rest of your suggestions: sommer (too old), Cillessen (subpar), Areola (unavailable), Keylor Navas (unavailable), Kevin Trapp (subpar) So you still haven't come up with one 40M gk that would have been a better investment than Kepa 4 Cillessen and Areola are good keepers and if Real are considering giving Kovacic, why not Navas? You are missing the point however. A decent goalkeeper instead of a (potential) great one will not make a big difference to this team. After Neymar moved, goalkeepers like Leno, Perin (Juve) have moved. The Chelsea board has grossly misjudged the goalkeeper market this summer and are now paying the price with a panic buy. Questions need to be asked about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questions need to be asked about it. We absolutely need a goal keeper who is good with his feet and can hit a long pass. Did you see how much Cabellero fucked up our possession hitting miss hit passes in the charity shield and how efficient Bravos long balls to the wings were in beating our press? Finding a good keeper with great distribution is not easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabama 1,992 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Kepa's £71.6m release clause was apparently triggered at 9.22am Spanish time this morning. He is now on his way to London to sign for #CFC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Happy days. So glad to be rid of Tibo. What a snake he is. I know people will buy into his whole “it’s for my kids” but I think that’s just to make him look better. Good riddance to an ungrateful sod. Know very little about this new keeper but he’s clearly highly thought of to nearly join Real. The most important of all, this seems like another Sarri signing. 👏👏👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmin 2,484 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 What if we are willing to pay so much cash because Hazard is leaving for Madrid, along with Courtois? What if we are cashing in on both of them and lining up Kepa and Fekir as replacements? I mean, are we really willing to spend 71m on a goalkeeper without any side effect?

I think the side effect is getting Kovacic on loan. Which means that we don't have to buy a midfielder, which means we have more funds for a keeper.

We're effectively only paying around £35m for Kepa with Courtois going for £35m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear not Hazard is going nowhere this week besides Huddersfield away on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El P. 1,354 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Once we get those players, I think board will start with selling and loaning A LOT of players to make some money. Luckily we have enough time to do that, 3 whole weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just enjoy the season with Eden while he’s still here? I completely agree that it’ll come up again next summer but that’s then.
