Let's trade Turnbull to sweeten the deal.

Just trade Turnbull or Hilario...+2m in exchange for him!

Good idea! Especially seeing as bergovic would also count as a homegrown player

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Trade Turnbull + 2 mill, then we haven't lost anything.

Turnbull = Homegrown = trade over = Begovic = Homegrown

2 Mill = 23 = Investment into a quality player.

And then sell Hilario and we would get some money back from him and then Delac will join and take the 3rd keeper role and play in the reserves rotating with Walker throughout the season.

I'd give them £5 million plus Turnbull, not only is Turnbull average at best but he can't grow a beard for fuck.

he can't grow a beard for fuck.

Haha clearly, the most important trait of being a goalkeeper!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I find it important to look good when making a save... he looks like a 14 year old who can't be arsed to shave.

Can I just say... if Begovic wants to play first team football, does he actually believe he can out-start a fit Petr Cech?? I'm not sure he can!

No point in persuing him I reckon. We need a keeper who won't have a problem contesting Cech, i.e. a keeper who is not going to be bothered with not being first choice, but is highy-rated. Maybe someone like Johan Wiland from FC Copenhagen!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Begovic is good enough to keep Cech on his toes, just like Carlo was.

Thats what Begovic's thinking is as well.. Rather than sitting at Stoke's bench he would be better off in Chelsea's bench considering Cech is the most injury prone GK in EPL

Chelsea set to up bid for Stoke keeper Asmir Begovic to £4.5m

Chelsea are ready to table a new and improved £4.5m bid for Stoke City keeper Asmir Begovic this week, the People reports.

The 23-year-old was excellent at Portsmouth last season, and with Pompey desperate for money he was sold to Stoke City during the January transfer window.

However, the Bosnian has been unable to unseat Danish World Cup goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen as first choice at Stoke.

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti currently has the unconvincing Henrique Hilario as back-up for Petr Cech and is keen to bolster his goalkeeping options.

Not a bad idea but we'll need to get rid of Turnbull as there's no point in having 4 keepers. Also should maybe be looking to give Rhys Taylor some bench time?
