Timo Horn will follow the path of Courtious soon, although don't think he will match Courtious' quality

I have another top young keeper on the radar who reminds me so much of Cech as well, whise still a teenager

Lstd, if you can get Markovic I will really crap myself

Whats the laest on him?

Courtois for me can become the best keeper in the world. The progress he's made over his year and a half at Atletico is really incredible, for people in spain to be saying hes the best keeper in there is pretty amazing really, especially as one of them is a spanish footballing legend really with the success hes had for the national team.

I'm not sure atm N21, most reports in serbia were that we'd agreed a deal for him, i imagine that will be the case whether its already done or will be done in summer.

He's likely to fight Piazon to replace Hazard though, he wont stay beyond 5 seasons imo, far too good a player potential wise not to end up at Madrid/Barca

I know what you are saying about Courtious, I remember reading a report about him 3/4 years ago when he was 18, before the move to Chelsea and he sounded really promising, before appearing on Ssky Sports Scout I think

There's no doubt he will be up there, but I reckon we will see some surprising keepers spring up from nowhere, plenty of GK's with potential out there

Yeah thats true theres always the ones who just appear later on. Always had high hopes for Delac but hes not going to make it by the looks of things.

Most keepers reach their prime late 20's too so its very hard to judge.

Extremely happy we have Courtois to replace Cech though, will probably take him time to adapt to the pl with the physical side of it but its potentially an upgrade keeper wise which is very good because Cech has been amazing for us

I really want to sign this keeper on here, but I already have three amazing GK's in Stegen (He'll defo be up there with Courtious), Zieler and Horn, and having 4 spots takes up a squad place

Aly Yirango is one i have high hopes for

one that could go either way though, done well in Africa but needs a move, sure hes joined Marseille but transfermarkt and other sites seem to disagree

Most keepers reach their prime late 20's too so its very hard to judge.

However, you can spot the bright ones fr

...om the duds early on in some cases, a couple of years at the top level when at a young age nearly always leads to a great career, whilst those who start badly tend to die out, but there are some cases where keepers have come back stronger

striker is currently most intriguing for me at chelsea. I full expect a big name to come in summer with Torres leaving, but Lukaku has probably been one of the best CFs in england this season, hopefully he gets his chance with us, i expect him to, just not next season, can see him staying at WBA

I don't care what any of you say fabianski will be one of the greatest keepers ever

100% agree wilsh

It would be best for him to stay at WBA where he is doing very well and enjoying himself, which always a great sign when going out on loan

You probably will bring in a big name, just not Falcao/Cavani, as I cant see it personally. Youll probably go for a younger striker who is better than what you currently hVe, as that seems to be the trend with your transfers

In all seriousness I think Szczesny is underrated (opposition fans) I think he'll be a great keeper

i think it will be Falcao, Courtois seems to have been told by Chelsea that we do want Falcao but he wont be used, or thats what he was saying in an interview anyway.

Just can't see a young striker that will join thats going to improve upon Ba that greatly tbh

wilsh i think he'll be a good keeper, under rated by opposition but over rated by a fair few arsenal fans currently

He's one of the best young keepers out there IMO just needs someone experienced as a number 2 to push him

a lot of arsenal fans seem to think hes the best in england though which seems quite far of the mark imo

Lol I don't think that

not saying you but there does seem to be a lot who do, would probably say hes 5th/6th tbh but can become very very good

I think joe hart has been really overrated and he's beginning to show people why

100% agree tbh. People picking Hart as the best keeper in the PL just annoyed me so much! Hes massively error prone and inconsistent imo but people only take into account the good displays he has because hes english.

for me id take Cech as the best in the PL, with Begovic the one putting the pressure on him atm

Closely followed by turnball

Hart is hugely overrated!! Not in the top 5 in the world for me, if he wasn't english then........


I like Szczeny but he is overrated by Arsenal fans, this season the best in the League has been Begovic imo

Turnbull is awful

id rather Blackman be our number 2 already than that joker!

Which team do people prefer, and what formation.
