There will be people on here who will somehow blame him for our fowards playing like absolute garbage for the entire season as well.

Not true.. Kepa wasn’t special last year did the basics and had one or two spectacular games yet he cost us 8-10 points. Of the top of my head leicester fulham spurs and city spring up.. I remember doing a detailed post last season.. but no way is Kepa even close to being a  Chelsea quality player..

if nothing else atleast a 6-5 keeper will help us with a bit of presence in the box.

That's 2/2 for him. Bellingham lobbed him last week. He really is allergic to his goal line.

 

🤣🤣🤣 can we start focusing on keepers being keepers again !!

 

We need another Petar Borata.

Never convinced by him.. speaks too much and wants too much attention all the time.. I like my keepers who let their football do the talking.

Given no club wanted Kepa for £18m when that was his release clause months before we signed him and no team has been willing to pay £20m for him at any point since I'm not sure that's much of a point.

The bar to upgrade on Kepa isn't exactly high. Better keepers frequently move for less than £20m.

 

You sure?

Yes?

Given Madrids board considered him as a homegrown backup to Navas after they failed to get De Gea but Zidane turned him down because he didn't think Kepa was good enough to be Madrids number 2.

If Madrid wanted Kepa they would have paid his £18m release clause but like every other club at the time didn't think he was worth it.

Depressing fact for the day: Kepa now has the most first-team appearances out of anyone in the squad. 

Super Tommy Tuchel and his talent ID.

 

Kepa couldn't even get games under Tuchel, big surprise if Tuchel wants him at Bayern. Having said that, the current Bayern GKs aren't that great anyway.

Didn't play him while he managed us, I think that is just another BS rumour.

He's probably the best avaliable keeper happy to go there on the proviso he's a placeholder until if/when Neuer is back to full fitness.

2 years ago, fine. Now, I don't know. Robert Sanchez as our number 1. The market is not good for keepers in the profile we are looking for. This is probably why there is a Kepa to Bayern rumour.

Unless we're going to throw serious money at someone like Maignan we shouldn't entertain the idea of selling Kepa this summer. Going into the season with Sanchez could be very painful.

Who would we even replace him with?

If he goes it needs to be for a fee and not a loan.

Bring back Marcin Bulka

Hm, if there is any truth to this it really puts us in a hard spot. 
He’s not really good enough, and finding a taker for him has shown to be difficult. But as others said, do we trust Sanchez to be nr 1? 
Losing Kepa and Nkunku this close to the start of the season will also be quite disruptive. Torn on this one!

William Foulke, died in 1916 so, technically, he's available on a free.

Is Thomas tuchel back on the gear again 😂😂 surely he wouldn’t recommend him when he didn’t pick home while he was here

One more decent redundancy package and he's retired at age 50. Good game plan I reckon 🙂 

If  Athleti don’t get rid of Felix then Oblak could be a player they’d sell.

From what I gather they do need to sell and he’s probably the best out there who’s potentially available. I very much doubt we’d need to pay his release clause either.
