What's new

Djordje Petrovic signs for Chelsea

I imagine so and that's fine but what do we do for the next 2 seasons? Stick with a goalie that's obviously not good enough? every player, manager and fan can see he isn't good enough.

It looks this way. Personally, I would have preferred to keep Petrovic for a year or two, wait and see how both Petrovic and Penders develop, then make a decision on who stays as our long term goalkeeper. If Penders doesn't develop, it's going to mean we will have to go out and spend big on another keeper.

 
This is probably the idea. Problem is we have to suffer season or two with Sanchez. The summer transfer window closes 1st of September so we have time to fix that.

Maignan deal is dead so we'd need to find a keeper that is comfortable with his feet otherwise it is probably Sanchez.

Not sure the Maignan deal is dead at all.

AC Milan are desperate to get rid of him. The key is he will refuse to go anywhere but AC need to get some sort of fee for him. The clock on that is ticking

Keep your eyes on our GK position. We have now shipped out three Bettineli, Kepa, Bergston and another , Petrovic, looks to be off. By my reckoning we have 3 senior keepers of note , a couple of others aren’t in contention and one of either Jorgensen and Penders will be on loan at Strasbourg.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single Penders game but the way people talk about him and the way the club is acting it’s like he’s too good to fail.

AC Milan are allegedly keen to sign Jackson, I know, hard to believe right? So maybe there is a swap deal to be done here. We live in hope.

To be fair that was something that was banded around when Courtois shipped up.

Personally I think in everyone’s haste to ( rightly) see the back of Sanchez they are making out that Petrovic is the next big thing.

It’s quite funny actually because certain Arsenal blogs and supporters are wanting an investigation in to how such a big fee!! Is being obtained for him. The suggestion being Foley AFC Bournemouth owner and BlueCo are rigging the price !

 
Early summer has been interesting. With our need for upgrade and reinforcements in GK and Mid, respectively, I thought Petrovic and Santos were no brainers into the squad, and even first team. If there POTS, captaining, and general stats weren't enough to open that door, then it will take some talent.

Now, in Maresca's defense he always said he views the CWC as a continuation of the season, so I can see his desire to stick with players he trusts, even if that went out the window with Joao Pedro! Additionally, if the rumors are true about Petrovic wanting to be no.1, well he still has to earn that.

Overall not bad business, and one can only assume they have other plans for the GK position between Penders and a possible transfer.

Dumbass arse fans, they should put that effort into investigating Thomas Partey's cases 🤣

 
Some classlessly brief comments on the club website for poor old Djordje :

Compare and contrast to what they came up with 2 days ago for anonymous academy player Zak Sturge's move to Millwall

Dang and blast the Chelsea online crew. Sack the buggers. I propose @Mod as a replacement. Intelligent, humble, literate, sensitive, big-picture-guy, spits in the eye of the spinning beachball of doom as the computer hangs. Best of all, a Cobham lad so all lovely profit.

See, that's what I like about you Dermott, a very honest chap with no hint of sarcasm at all! 👀

I'd love that job but would probably get the sack fast for trolling other teams on X! Mind you, the current one doesn't do a bad job at that sometimes!
