There was an article a week ago in a Spanish newspaper just after it was reported that Chelsea had put a £177m price tag on Hazard that Barcelona would offer Chelsea Dembele and £71m. really, valuing Dembele at £106m!

Sky are saying we will accept £150m for Hazard AND Courtois. As if,

I won't bet all my money on Sky these days.

Besides Obinna 123's sources😜 say that the two deals (Courtois and Hazard) are two separate issues. Courtois is currently on holiday in Tenerife and will not join Real Madrid until Chelsea gets his replacement (though a fee might have been agreed for him) . So the talk of a combined deal is not true.

Alisson still possible but with the way the club is dealing with transfers there's no surprise to see us linked with cheaper alternatives like Cech, Schmeichel, Butland etc.
Reports Golovin and Rugani are close with Higuain still very possible.
If Willian were to leave then Bailey would be brought in to replace him.

Reports now that we might make a move to re-sign Petr Cech. I know Cech is older now but I'd take him back in a heartbeat!

Also Kapser Schmeichel is another option we're looking at.

I honestly wouldn't mind either, you know what you get with both and there are far worse options out there!

Schmeichel isn't a good keeper mate, but let's hope you get him ;) .

On a serious note, if I was a Chelsea fan I'd be hoping for much better then Cech or Schmeichel. Chelsea are a huge club, there's plenty of quality goalkeepers out there, them two aren't part of that group in my opinion.

I'd be gutted if you go and sign Alisson because he's quality but that is the type of keeper you/ we need.

Agree1 Disagree1

Looked like an absolute flapper in the World Cup. Hope we don’t get him!

Agree1 Disagree0

17 Jul 2018 22:44:09
Salah, what quality goalkeepers are out there and available in your opinion? Because there are very few at this moment in my opinion.

Agree1 Disagree1

17 Jul 2018 23:06:45
Chelsea Nick, you can't judge a player on a few WC performances. Did you watch Alisson last season?

Bobby in my opinion mate somebody like Butland would be a much better fit than Schmeichel or Cech. Then there's Donnarumma who could be your long term keeper for years not to mention Oblak, La Font another long term option, every player is available if the right price is paid. Just my opinion of course, right or wrong.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jul 2018 22:38:36
I’d take Cech back just cause it’s him, he’ll be a great back up and a big presence in the dressing room. Schmeichel though, I’m not so sure, to be fair I’m not convinced by Becker either.

Oblak is the one, great goalkeeper he’s just so good that even the hype he gets for me isn’t enough every match i watch him he impresses. I’ll settle for Butland as well I think he’s another underrated Keeper.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jul 2018 23:26:33
Maybe there's something that I don't know but is there any reason preventing Chelsea from asking for Kaylor Navas in Courtois' deal or see if they can do a swap deal for Jan Oblak (with Courtois- since he wants to stay in Madrid) even if it means giving Athletico Madrid some more money for the deal (at least we get a world class keeper in return and they get a good if not a better goalie in return) cos there are no goalkeepers of that quality around
I won't be surprised if Real Madrid get Courtois for £40m and value Kaylor Navas (that isn't as good as Courtois) for £80m- cos that's how they row (smarter than everyone else) . At least Kaylor Navas is better than Cech and Schmiechel.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jul 2018 06:16:40
Trust me obinna, you don't want Navas mate lol Courtois to Navas? saying it'd be a downgrade is an understatement, he's a terrible keeper mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

Just a silly thought, guys - did you all see the legends match and marvel at the game Carlo Cudicini had. Still bloody marvellous at his age!

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jul 2018 09:57:48
Salah a doubt we would b able to pull off signing of Lafont as he has just signed with fiorentina this summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

Looks like Tibo is off then, great keeper but moaning ****er as well. see ya.

Good riddance! No point keeping a moaner.

Instead of saying his happy at Chelsea then behind closed doors expressing desire to leave he was constantly talking about leaving, never looked like he wanted to be here, if we can get Allison then great business imo.

G8: Look forward to your banter next season and on this one agree one hundred per cent.

Agree2 Disagree0

17 Jul 2018 19:27:14
Good keeper but he wants away so goodbye and thanks for everything.
I feel exactly the same of ANY player who isn’t happy at our club or wants away.

Agree2 Disagree0

17 Jul 2018 16:00:54
So, it appears that Courtois could well be on his way. My preference would be Alisson however it seems he may be Liverpool-bound. who should we be looking to sign if, as thought, a keeper with strong distribution is required?

I don’t think Pickford is viable btw. any alternatives?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

17 Jul 2018 16:39:41
Pickford had great World Cup but when I see him for Everton I don’t rate him up there with Courtois Oblak Allison ter stergan etc, if Courtois goes then rival Liverpool., we would be able to cover half the cost st least by selling Tibo. If not Oblak but I imagine it’ll be harder / more expensive to get him.

Agree1 Disagree0

17 Jul 2018 16:31:33
Worst case we could always get Keylor Navas from Madrid in any deal for Courtois. Oblak would be my choice, but I can't see that happening.

Pickford and Butland could be lesser name options.

Agree1 Disagree3

17 Jul 2018 17:00:38
Well I would hope we have another keeper already lined up if we have agreed to sell courtois.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jul 2018 17:37:10
Don't discount Allison. There have been so many rumours about him going everywhere. I wouldn't discount Jack Butland as an alternative. He's a good keeper playing in front of dire defences, come through the ranks, 6'5" and at just 25 starting to reach maturity for a keeper.

Agree2 Disagree0

17 Jul 2018 21:24:52
Could it be that Alisson doesn't fancy a move to Chelsea.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jul 2018 21:26:35
Chelsea can still get Alisson.

Agree0 Disagree1

17 Jul 2018 08:18:50
Linked with Higuain, look he’s a good player but as stated he is almost 31 and on the decline.

This is the result of us missing out on premier league proven Lukaku last year. A transfer failure we will continue to rue unless Morata proves himself this season.

Not to mention that Napoli scored more goals after he left.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jul 2018 13:31:34
That could be down to a number of factors though. team more settled, more used to the tactical framework and their roles within it, chiefly Mertens being reinvented to a forward.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jul 2018 22:10:00
Of course, but it's not as if Sarri will consider him essential.
