That person needs o have their eyes checked. His weaknesses are there in plain sight. This and his obvious physical attributes that are completely disadvantageous for a pro athlete (short weak limbs, lacking core strength, poor leap and no explosiveness) . The only thing he is good at is making the easy goals he concedes look like like worldies by always being in the wrong position and stupidly Swinging his arms around like a child trying to fly. And even at that he failed miserably yesterday. Yeah, but according to some, we are wrong, Kepa was amazing last season and this is only a blip. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent 403 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 4 hours ago, OneMoSalah said: He took a risk but if he pulled that pass off Alonso/Emerson (cannot remember who played think it was Marcos) would of had space to go into as opposed to if he played that slightly safer to one of the CBs, Sterling and Mahrez or whoever were wide would of been able to make it up and pressure them. The willingness of us playing out under pressure or against pressing teams really has dropped since Sarri left. I dont think it was a huge issue that pass, nothing came of it, sometimes Alisson or Ederson or De Gea take risks with their kicking etc too and for all the amazing passes or whatever they provide youll find there will similar ones that didnt come off or were recovered by the other team etc. Its not as if it was a bad idea because if the ball was a foot or 2 foot higher Alonso would of had it and we would of been in their half. Walker was already sprinting towards Alonso, so even if he would have managed to control the ball, there wouldn't be any significant profit (with Mahrez closing in on him too). The best and the easiest choice was either Christensen or Rudiger. The fact that he (Kepa) appeals for offside when Mahrez headed the ball towards Bernardo Silva, tells me that he had no idea what he was doing with Christensen and Rudiger next to him.

No team is going to pay a sizeable loan fee and his wages in full for him. Even loaning him out is going to be a massive cost for us. If there's a will there's a way, even United managed to find a new home for Alexis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but United are still paying a massive portion of his wages. I'm not sure, the way the club operates, it'll be prepared to suck up a large chunk of his transfer fee and wages to allow him to be loaned out. At best I think we may be able to command £5m for a loan fee and someone pay £75-100k per week of his salary. There would definitely be suitors as he's still well regarded in Spain and an international for their country but it will be teams outside the top 3 looking at him who won't usually spend big money.

We got over 15m euros for two Zouma loans (Everton and Stoke). Two year loan Kepa to Valencia 15m. Plus they pay at least 50% of his salaries. This is 25m saved. After this period he still has 3 years left on contract so if he does good in Valencia we can sell him for big money or take him back.

Jase 43,479 Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Lampard on Kepa.... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jul/03/frank-lampard-says-chelsea-could-solve-set-piece-problem-by-signing-tall-players “I’m not going to talk about what we may do at the end of the season,” Lampard said. “With Kepa, there’s been a lot spoken about him this season. All I want from him is the right mentality and attitude in approaching games. I’m happy with him. That’s the end.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bar is set against Kepa, any keeper would likely do better. What we need to do is identify a genuine top class keeper, not compare with Kepa because that bar is very, very low.

No offence but his surname is gonna be memed... He is decent, but I have to say that when I watch youth games, I do not really focus on GK because getting into the Chelsea's first team as a GK is almost impossible. Only now with Kepa, we can now think about about Jamie Cummings, but during Cech or snakes time, no chance any GK would have gotten a chance and we can understand why that is the case. Jamie looks tall, but according to wiki he is only 186 cm, which I am not so sure if that is correct. He looks really tall compared to his other defenders.He is not the most physical of GK just like Kepa. Onana for instance or Neuer have way more muscles on them and that helps when you go out to catch a ball or to punch the ball out of the danger zone. That is Jamie's biggest weakness I would say, but it is nearly not as bad as Kepa because Kepa only holds his line and never goes out to punch a ball out of the danger zone. His biggest attribute are his reflexes. They are very good. I do not really know about his technical abilities, but me personally, I am fine having snake for instance that saves many shots, but does not have Ter Steven's world class passing skills. I really do not care about that. Overall he is decent. I currently do not see world class written over him, but if he gains some muscles, he may be someone to look forward to. But he is better than Willy and Kepa, which is not hard. I would still go for another goalkeeper in the summer overall, if a truly world class GK is available. Lampard somehow did not give Cummings a chance in a FA Cup game or so and that would have been a chance to see how good Cummings is against more physical opponents Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk Jase 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
