This is the best news of the day.  71M  waste of a purchase. The worst Goalie in the EPL . Thank you Real. Hopefully you  sign him. Any money Chelsea gets for Kepa is a steal.  These are the type of purchases you write off as a bad debt.  Never in my life have i ever seen a goalie for Chelsea so bad as Kepa, who can never ever learn to concentrate or save a long ranger. The weakest link, finally gone 

f**k off! Not sure what’s your issue with him but he’s never been the “worst keeper in the PL”. Have you ever watched the PL or even gone to Stamford Bridge? With your handle name, Kokefran, I think you’re probably more of a Atleti or Madrid supporter.

Stop Swearing and let's have a civil discuss, we are all here because of Chelsea. Now I present to you why Kepa is one of the worst goalies in the EPL

You're thinking of Ambrosetti.  He may have been better in nets than Ambrosio though

I am! 

I think Kepa is a good keeper. He is weak under a challenged high ball but other than that pretty good. He wouldn’t be going to Real Madrid even on loan if he wasn’t good. 

amy case, it doesn’t matter except the new.guy  won’t have worked with Sanchez  for more than a day or two. 

Ah well .. we'll probably end up with signing De Gea or another sh*te one... fact is that Chelsea are 'rebuilding'. Yet i say the club died when Roman was forced to sell it to that clown Boehly.

 

after 35 years of supporting this is the straw that broke the camels back... i'm done.

Bye! It's been great having you as a loyal supporter and a stalwart of this forum.

Kepa was actually ok last year, had a great patch when potter came in but then slowly reverted back to distinctly average level.

Ultimately, he’s never made tons of glaring mistakes but just rarely made big saves to win us a match (except villa last year) like even De Gea did at Utd many times.

He will never be good at long range shots or dealing with crosses, so he will never be good enough for our ambitions.

Annoyed we don’t seem to be getting anything permanent out of this deal though! Feels like a favour to Real.

Also this is no reflection on my thoughts towards Sanchez, god knows what to expect there. I do at least feel he has the raw ingredients though, just hope it all comes together for him here.

The GK market in general is poor. Pope was a gem for Newcastle.

This isn’t a train station, so there’s no need to announce your departure.

I know a lot of supporters wanted an obligation to buy but hopefully he has a great season in Real and it attracts other clubs into the reckoning next season, maybe Real decide to keep him.

Isn't him the longest serving Chelsea player right now? Be weird to get rid off him via a cheap loan, at least get some money out of it. Sanchez is an unknown,  don't recall he was that great when he was playing ( although I don't follow Brighton that much). Kepa has been good last season, we'd be with fewer points without him. So if we are getting a Kasper to cover Kepa, really doesn't make that much sense.

Got to admit its such an important position, its strange to let him go so easily without a secure replacement, we're all just hoping Sanchez can find previous form,but nothing is granted.

In 45 years as a supporter I've never known a player that has been consistently so bad for us get so much rabid defence from a small section of supporters online.

I really have no idea why. Surely no one can dispute that Kepa is one of the worst signings in the sports history and he's had a lot more bad games for us than good ones.

That article/stat is over 3 years old, I don’t think that small selection would quibble too much back then!

You've followed Chelsea for 35 years but now you're quitting because Kepa might be replaced by David De Gea?

He's not that bad. He had one very bad season under Lamps where all our defensive players looked like crap, but apart from that he was decent. Not great but also not bad. 

Had a decent first season under Sarri, then was always good when called upon as a backup and then again had a decent Last year.

It's just because of his admittedly very bad season under Lamps and his price tag that he gets this over the top abuse from some supporters when in reality he's no more or less than a capabable albeit not a great keeper who would be worth 80 million.

Can he be improved upon, most definetely, but a keeper of the same or higher level would cost significant money in that market and the solution we seem to be aiming for (Schmeichel) seems like a downgrade to me. That's why I think the loan move at this point in time makes no sense at all.  

Edited August 13, 20232 yr by True Blue23

he deserves a good send off and respect from the fans

even if you think he isn't good enough

you have to agree he showed great resilience to come back from a terrible season

Couldn’t agree more 

He's not a great keeper, but he is a good keeper, with a decent defence in front of him, he inspires confidence in them, as they do with him.

The price was far too much, but that's not his fault. The amount of abuse he gets, when someone who was NOT marked properly, smacks in a worldie from outside the box is frankly stupid, and the odd cannonball rocket is not kept out, just like most other keepers, he doesn't have flappy wrists, he's human, with pretty amazing reflexs, compared to most on the planet. When he's abused for not putting a ball out occasionally and knocking it back into box, his first and foremost job is to keep it out of the net, sometimes this means it has to come back into the box. He's done what he is paid to, if an opposition player is free in the box, that's the defences mistake, not his.

He is not the best at crosses into the box, but neither was Cech after his injury. Mendy had a purple patch, but whenever the ball was passed back to him, i nearly had a heart attack.

He came through during the transition from traditional big nutter keepers, who caught everything, and flattened the opposition, to ball playing sweeper keepers. He is not the best at either disciplne, but then VERY few are throughout the world. Every keeper has their strong and weak points.

I have no idea about Sanchez, whether he's an improvement or not, but there is NO ONE out there, that stands out and could be available. It shows Kepa is not as bad as lots on here seem to think, the fact that both Bayern and Real want him as cover.

I fear that after he's gone, many on here may just realise, he's not as bad as they blindly think.

Actually it is, he signed a new deal with that release clause knowing the club he's at don't do negotiating.

Was bad decision making on his part, although ironically if he was an £18m keeper I doubt we'd have so many (speaking generally not specifically aimed at you) in such a rush to defend him all the time.
