Kepa Arrizabalaga

[oldportblue 547]

our best option of the ones remaining... if we somehow manage to seal this deal before the deadline we will have recovered pretty well from a dire situation created by the board/courtois, even if we do end up overpaying...

Marca, As, and some Bilbao based journo reckon we are going balls deep for Kepa.

 

It'll be Butland

Good keeper. Pretty solid with his feat too which although means absolutely fuck all in terms of shot stopping, will be vital to Sarri in building the game from the back. 80m a bit steep.

To be fair, Courtois' sale to Real covers half of that fee.

I think Trapp is better thsn Kepa and would cost a fraction

Chelsea contacted Kepa this morning to tell him there willing to pay clause, now convincing him of project & to join, down to player, rejected madrid move before. Chelsea first contacted Oblak but he decided to stay. 

 

Guessing reliable as Bilbao paper.

Would not lose any sleep if we replace Tibo with him. Will not claim to know anything about him, but La Liga watchers fawn over him, so I tend to trust that judgement. Cool name too... Kepa.

[akgw13 867]

consider me extremely skeptical that we actually will pay this release clause. After slinking away from Alisson due to the cost, we will now go ahead and break that record? im doubtful. However as @manpe said, i don't know alot about him but the things being said online from people who watch him regularly are extremely positive. Would be happy to see him protecting our net.

[The Chels 2,502]

Hard to believe a board as stingy as ours would spend that much on a keeper. Much more likely to be Butland IMO.

Kepa has informed Bilbao he intends to leave. [@ondavasca]

Athletic Bilbao’s Kepa Arrizabalaga is a goalkeeper target for Chelsea, Sky Sports News understands

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Why aren't we going for Cillessen. Would cost no more than £30m and in this moment in time he's about on the same level as Kepa (5 years older though so that might chance one day).

🚨 last minute 🚨 informs @AlbertoPereiro in the newsletter of the 16:00h that he @OndaCero_es https://www.ondacero.es/directo/  will make effective tomorrow the payment of the clause of Kepa Arrizabalaga, which amounts to 80 million of euros

Could the board finally get the message and woken up? Shaping up to be a crazy 48 hours.

This is the squeeze happening, there arm is completely forced now with the TC situation, they cannot hang around, which is ideal.

So instead of Hazard sending the board into frenzy mode, it's Courtois who did it. If everything comes off, then we gotta thank him for being a bellend.
