A GK with so much to prove as well. Let's hope he turns out to be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Athletic Bilbao are in 'panic mode‘ and have given goalkeeper Kepa just 24 hours to make his mind up, with a tempting offer on the table from #Chelsea. [MARCA] First team football and a big salary increase await Kepa at #Chelsea as he would be the immediate replacement for the Madrid-bound Courtois. [MARCA] In terms of Athletic signing fresh goalkeeping cover of their own, there is a sense of relative calm given that Iago Herrerin would be promoted from the bench to the first team.

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 The intention of the London club is that Kepa trains on Thursday under Sarri and that he could even make his debut on Saturday against Huddersfield.

From what ive seen and heard he's the level below world class and knocking on the door off actual world class, outside of Alisson he's the best that was/is (realistically) available this summer.

Considering how our defense and midfield will probably line up, i'd be quite happy if we could skip right to the midfield in our build up play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 If the club go ahead with this it would be a statement. I think we all moaned about the transfer strategy last summer, buying a lot of squad players and overspending on some average signings. Although the club may end up only bringing in 2 or 3 this summer they will have at least spent good money to buy the best players they could in those circumstances. It's definitely a step in the right direction and whilst there are still gaps in the squad the hope will be that the board have their eyes on this being a project that will bear fruit more so over the next 2 - 3 seasons as opposed to the first 6 months and by adding genuine quality to it over that time will have far more long term benefits. The squad should be filled out through our academy preventing the need for buys like Drinkwater and Zappacosta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 53 La Liga games under his belt for a team that finished 7th and 16th (at the age of 23), no experience in Europe and just a single cap for Spain under his name, I highly doubt that. I know how this hype game works for young players works but I'd love to be wrong. Was he one of the best options available to Chelsea? Yeah, I believe that.

Azul 1,615 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Even though he's expensive, I am happy that we are about to sign him. He has the potential to become world class and we dodged a bullet with Butland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Apparently Sarri wanted him a year ago at Napoli as the long term replacement for Reina. If this is the case, it would go with Jorginho to signal that the board are prepared to back Sarri with some very big and expensive signings.
