A premier league winner, and Chel in his name....could do worse

Journalists are the laziest f**kers on earth.

A good game at the world cup and he's suddenly Chelsea matterial.

 

He's had clanger after clanger this season. 

Pass.

Not keen - he is an alright keeper, sometimes capable of strong performances like the other night, but don't think he is consistently up to the level required at Chelsea. Not as good as his dad was either. Plus he is already 31, will be 32 in November, not exactly one for the future long term either.

I will be totally honest, also got a bad opinion of him since the whole unpleasant business at Leicester around the sacking of Ranieri, remember it being heavily suggested he was one of the players leading efforts to get Claudio fired, and remember in interviews at the time Kasper doing nothing to dispel that, was clearly opposed to the manager. Feel like we have had enough trouble at Chelsea already with players downing tools and trying to undermine managers over the years here recently at times, would rather not have another player added to the mix with that sort of personality.

If Tibo goes to Madrid this summer, would rather we get a younger keeper with longer term potential to be a quality keeper for many years.

He is bang average.

He excels at pen saves but that is about it. Would be a huge downgrade but it isn't true so meh.

Would be a decent back up, but that's about it.

No. If the alternative is Alisson, then I'd rather go with Alisson.

Could do better too. Not totally against him as I think he's a very good young keeper, but to go from Courtois to Schmeichel would be underwhelming. I'm hearing Alisson is our first choice if Courtois leaves.

Agree, we should be aiming higher, plus Schmeichel is 31

I don't know how old you are but I'd say 31 isn't exactly young for a keeper unless we're talking about Buffon levels of longevity.
