Posted June 16, 20159 yr Being widely reported we're after him as our replacement for Petr Cech. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11679686/Chelsea-transfer-news-Jose-Mourinho-prepares-bid-for-Asmir-Begovic.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3126510/Chelsea-let-Petr-Cech-join-Arsenal-agree-deal-Stoke-s-Asmir-Begovic-QPR-keeper-Robert-Green.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
June 16, 20159 yr We're actually looking at bringing him in to replace Costa. He has actually scored a goal while at Stoke.
June 16, 20159 yr Strange one, he's a quality keeper. Like Bobby said I'd be surprised if he's ok with being a backup though
June 16, 20159 yr Amazing that Stoke rate a good keeper like Begovic at 10.5m , yet our our world class edition can be had for 11m apparently.
June 16, 20159 yr Amazing that Stoke rate a good keeper like Begovic at 10.5m , yet our our world class edition can be had for 11m apparently. Both have a year left but Begovic is 6 years younger. Still think he's overpriced at anything over £7 million though. Maybe a deal involving Moses?
June 16, 20159 yr Will he be happy to be a number 2 here? Is not like Tibo is on his last legs, could only see Begovic asking to leave next season after failing to get much game time this season if he does indeed arrive.
June 16, 20159 yr Both have a year left but Begovic is 6 years younger. Still think he's overpriced at anything over £7 million though. Maybe a deal involving Moses? £6m + Moses would be fair. Much rather Begovic than Green (as rumoured)
June 17, 20159 yr Quality goalkeeper, and Stoke have Butland ready to step in goal. Problem is obviously playing time, would he want to be limited to Captial one cup games? i doubt it
June 17, 20159 yr He would be a perfect replacement but i can't see it. He's a top goalkeeper and coming to the peak of his career, he could join many teams challenging for trophies as their first choice keeper.
June 23, 20159 yr http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11693164/Chelsea-transfer-news-Stoke-want-Victor-Moses-in-Asmir-Begovic-deal.htmlI would do this all day, every day and three times on Sunday's!
June 23, 20159 yr http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11693164/Chelsea-transfer-news-Stoke-want-Victor-Moses-in-Asmir-Begovic-deal.html I would do this all day, every day and three times on Sunday's! Agreed there
June 23, 20159 yr I like Victor but i'd take this deal all day every day. I'l still be surprised if Begovic joined us though.
June 23, 20159 yr We will be very lucky if we manage to find any keeper who is half decent willing to sit on the bench for his whole Chelsea career, which is what they will do, barring injury to Courtois. Usually we end up getting in a much older keeper, who is happy to sit out the last few years of their career. Like a Hilario or a Sullivan or a Schwarzer, etc...

I presume our 2nd choice goalkeeper will play Capital one Cup games, it seems a regular theme nowadays.
June 23, 20159 yr I presume our 2nd choice goalkeeper will play Capital one Cup games, it seems a regular theme nowadays. Maybe if we do something similar to what we have seen done at Real and Barca with their keepers and give Begovic all the League Cup and Fa cup games, as well as some lower profile League and Champions League games, that will be enough for him to agree to join for a year or 2, after which we likely sell him on for more money than we pay for him, especially if we can just swap him for Moses.
June 24, 20159 yr The Guardian reporting that Mosses apparently isn't keen to be involved in any potential deal as he is unsure if he wants to make his loan move to Stoke permanent.
June 25, 20159 yr He is far too good for Villa Totally agree but he'll pretty much play every match vs sitting on the bench for us. Wouldn't blame him for choosing minutes over trophies whilst not playing much
June 25, 20159 yr He is far too good for Villa Definitely. I think he would be better off staying at Stoke. As a club they are a lot more balanced than Villa and seem to be improving. Villa are stuck in a rut and have been for few years now.
