Chelsea Rumours Archive July 23 2018

Chelsea interested in Jack Butland if Courtois joins Real Madrid - from Sky.

23 Jul 2018 20:06:35
Please no. Decent goalkeeper but decent isn’t good enough if we want to win trophies.

23 Jul 2018 20:44:22
Neither are the other gk's linked to us! Donnarumma is probably the best option to fill the void, but only because he is young and can be improved.

23 Jul 2018 23:54:02
Donnaruma's agent reputation precedes him.

23 Jul 2018 23:56:27
Schmeichel.

24 Jul 2018 05:42:50
I honestly think Butland would be good for us young and English before long we won’t have any English in the team again we need to have a few like the days of Terry lamps and Cole.

24 Jul 2018 08:29:03
I prefer Schmeichel- he's improving every day and very much aware of the EPL. I heard Leceister city made an enquiry for Cahill maybe we can start from there.

24 Jul 2018 08:45:04
Speaking to friends of mine in the "goalkeepers union", all of them have said Schmeichel is the best option out there, barring Pickford.

Obviously, that leaves out WC keepers that have no chance of moving. I'd be good with Schmeichel. And if Leicester are chasing Cahill, it'll help in discussions.

24 Jul 2018 11:59:42
I’d avoid both Schmeichel and Butland personally. Should be trying to get Oblak.

24 Jul 2018 12:18:43
Having seen a lot of Schmeichel the past season he is no where near good enough. A lot of talk from Leicester fans last season that he should be dropped.

24 Jul 2018 14:57:22
Totally agree. Kasper is nowhere near good enough for Chelsea.

24 Jul 2018 16:10:02
Schmeichel is a solid keeper but at 31 he isn’t going to get any better and he isn’t in that elite level that we need. Donnarumma is already as good I’d say yet he’s 12 years younger.

24 Jul 2018 17:52:49
The problem we have is the small number of home-grown players which is why Schmeichel fits the bill.

24 Jul 2018 21:51:42
Rob Green is the answer.

24 Jul 2018 20:01:38
Buy a foreign keeper, also sign zaha. He’s homegrown. Fantastic talent and someone who could do a job on our right hand side. I still expect Willian to go.

25 Jul 2018 11:34:43
Oblak? You do know that his buy-out clause is like 100 million euros, right?

23 Jul 2018 16:21:16
Chelsea has offered Hudson Odoi a new contract with spot on the first team. I guess he must have really impressed Sarri.

23 Jul 2018 17:22:38
Says goal of all places. Jesus. They are as bad as daily star. All this on one performance from a very poor side. 🙄.

23 Jul 2018 17:24:55
Where did you see that Obinna.

23 Jul 2018 18:16:11
Nizaar Kinsella of Goal.com. Goal is more reliable than Daily Star.

You can google it. Search for Hudson Odoi new contract.

23 Jul 2018 19:48:13
Are you having a laugh? Goal are awful!

23 Jul 2018 20:59:09
Thank you for the reply mate.

23 Jul 2018 21:22:03
Still early to call, let's give it a little time.

24 Jul 2018 08:06:12
GOAL, METRO can be reliable. If they post a news isn't authentic or they aren't sure of the original source, it's stated as RUMOUR or GOSSIP on the article (at times a GOSSIP or RUMOUR can be true but maybe they aren't very sure of the original source) and most times in such case you don't see the correspondent or reporter's name that wrote the article BUT if it's authentic, the reporter or correspondent's name is clearly written on the article without any RUMOUR or GOSSIP written before the article (a lot of us ignore these little details) . Another thing is knowing their correspondent or reporter that's reliable for instance, Matt Law, Jason Burt, Sam Wallace are reliable for the Telegraph, Simon Johnson is reliable for the London Evening Standard, Nizaar Kinsella is reliable for Goal etc.

{Ed001's Note - are you serious? Metro is a joke, it was shown to be up there with the Mirror as the least reliable paper.}

24 Jul 2018 08:43:02
Obviously you guys are right- SKY, ESPN, BBC, TELEGRAPH, EVENING STANDARD etc are more reliable than the METRO but sometimes metro do post some authentic stuff. But if you say they are not reliable- who am I to say otherwise i live in Nigeria and you in UK so you should know them better.

{Ed001's Note - they are just a free paper given away on public transport, they are utter crap mate.}

24 Jul 2018 08:49:07
Hahahaha.

{Ed001's Note - seriously mate, that is what the Metro is.}

24 Jul 2018 09:04:16
Wow. Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}

23 Jul 2018 12:20:09
Can any of the eds firm up the Martial to Chelsea gossip?

It sounds like lazy journalism but I like the idea at least.

{Ed001's Note - he has been offered around, I don't know of any interest in him at the price being asked.}

23 Jul 2018 16:32:45
strange that united apparently blocking a move to Chelsea.

23 Jul 2018 16:33:03
especially the fact we sold them to mata an matic.

23 Jul 2018 20:10:52
Thanks ed.

I would be concerned by his attitude anyway.
