Djordje Petrovic signs for Chelsea

Featured Replies

SO WE PAID 14 MILLION POUNDS FOR HIM, HE WAS THEIR PLAYER OF THE YEAR, SO WE ARE NOW SELLING HIM....BAD ENOUGH

BUT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING TO GET AT LEAST 30 MILLION POUNDS FOR HIM ...CORRECT?

SO....

With interest rife in the goalkeeper, it has been reported that Galatasaray have made an offer to sign him this summer.

Journalist Sami Yen Haber has stated that negotiations are currently ongoing between the two clubs over a potential loan with an option to buy.

He said: “Galatasaray’s first verbal offer for Petrovic is €5 million for a rental fee and a €15 million purchase option. Negotiations are ongoing.”

Can't even turn a profit on the best goalie in France (apparently) last season

MARESCA REFUSED TO LET PETROVIC START AS THE NUMBER 1, TOLD HIM HE HAD TO FIGHT FOR HIS PLACE SOUNDS LIKE PETROVIC TOLD HIM WHERE TO GO

Good for Enzo to be honest. Absolutely no one needs to lay claim to the spot without the gaffers choice regardless of who you might be.

I THINK HES EARNED IT, REMEMBER HE DISLODGED SANCHEZ UNDER POCH, WAS THEN SENT ON LOAN AND BECAME THE PLAYER OF THE YEAR, HE CAME BACK HERE AND EXPECTED TO BE NUMBER 1 (HES BETTER THEN ANYTHING WE GOT, AND HE KNOWS IT), SO SANCHEZ WILL BE GIVEN ANOTHER SEASON AS NUMBER 1...WE WONT SIGN ANOTHER KEEPER

That's weird, Sanchez didn't have to fight for the number 1 spot once last season. If i remember correctly Matesca said from day one Sanchez was his number one.

Let the gaffer make his pick, and he will live by his sword or fall on it. Under no circumstance you should allow player power however.

You think it’s Maresca making these decisions or the people above? Maresca is the perfect yes man, there’s no sword for him to fall on so long as he bends over and lets the big boys in the board room keep spanking him.

This is across their whole careers, not just last season, but it does prove the point, albeit Petrovic still has to demonstrate he can do it in the PL for me.

His stats in the MLS were superb, and also in Ligue 1, but he was below those standards of shot stopping in the PL.

Academic as it stands, as sadly some managers no longer rate goalkeepers on their ability to prevent goals that other lesser keepers would let in.

Players and agents are not deaf, they hear things and most definitely the general consensous at the club is that Penders will lock that GK position in a couple of years tops. Hence Chelsea trying to sign someone like Maignan who will be in his 30s next month and accept getting benched as soon as Penders is ready in a few years.

Petrovic is a decent GK that has improved last season, he goes somewhere and plays as #1 and we also make a good profit on him. Guess it is fair for both parties. IMHO it's either Maignan or Sanchez up until Penders is ready.

SORRY. BUT THE DEAL FOR MAIGNAN IS DEAD IN THE WATER, CHELSEA ARE NOT GOING BACK FOR HIM, IF WE SIGN A GOALKEEPER IT WILL BE TRAFFORD (BUT MOST INSIDERS ARE SAYING HE IS GOING TO NEWCASTLE), SO MY GUESS IS WE WILL STICK WITH WHO WE HAVE

I think it's really stupid that the club is taking steps to allow Petrovic to go on loan or be sold. It's not about player power but about giving chances to people who dared to knock on the door.

Couldn't they just ask Maresca to give Petrovic a shot in the CWC first. As good as Sanchez has been the last couple of games, it's worth a try to give Petrovic a run between the sticks for a while until the season starts.

Rather than Maignan, it would make more sense to have Petrovic become a better keeper before having someone like Penders step up. Sanchez would have been a good 2nd keeper

This is the logical path that any normal club would take

Why the deal for Maignan is off? Just because we chose to negociate on our terms? The window is long and they won't risk losing him for free next summer.

Because coming back to renegotiate would just make Inter raise the price even more. 20M is already getting too much for a has-been GK with injury issues

Surely that has to be bo**ocks. No f**king way can Sanchez be No. 1.

Really feel Petrovic has done enough to be given the No.1 spot and he should be our keeper going into next season. Unfortunately I think the club see £££££ on the bottom line and seem set to cash in.

Woudn't have said no to Maignan, but wasn't too bothered either way. BUT if we do sell Petrovic we HAVE to buy. Think either Trafford or Henderson would be a massive upgrade on Sanchez. Slightly annoying that Newcastle could be getting Trafford, when they already have Pope who is 100% better than Sanchez.

Anyway, PLEASE just sort it out so we don't have that clown derailing our season before it's too late.
