Goalkeeper debate proves Chelsea need new No.1 – Talk Chelsea

We’re beginning to see increasingly Chelsea hyperlinks to potential new goalkeepers, that means that this is a matter for the membership.

As we all know, the membership are contemplating a brand new stopper this summer season, and they’re being linked to a handful of names on a possible shortlist and contemplating choices.

Kepa Arrizabalaga is simply too inconsistent and for me, shouldn’t be our primary going ahead if we wish to get again to the very high.

Edouard Mendy was implausible for a season, however then additionally confirmed too many inconsistencies and shouldn’t be our primary going ahead.

For me, we should now decide to go all out for a brand new primary, which I do really feel that the membership will find yourself doing, however it appears to be like like they’ve been eager to see the season play out first after which decide after they’ve had a have a look at the whole lot. That is in all probability clever. However for me, I can see now that we want a brand new primary and that’s what we must always prioritise.

There’s loads of names on the market, however loads will depend upon worth and availability on the time.

For me, one of many primary bits of standards we needs to be is bodily stature and top. I do know that you just don’t at all times essentially should be the tallest particular person on the planet to be a superb goalkeeper – we’ve seen many world class goalkeepers who will not be the tallest – however for me, I’d very very like to see a extra dominant keeper within the field, one you may be assured will take management of crosses coming in, moderately than flapping at them.

I believe it offers the defenders extra confidence as nicely, after they know their stopper goes to eat something up that is available in.

However equally as necessary is having a goalkeeper who in addition to being a high shot stopper, can also be good along with his toes, as a result of that additionally breeds confidence to the remainder of the gamers, understanding they will go dwelling to the toes of the goalkeeper if they should.

So we have to run the info on this but in addition have a look at bodily attributes, in addition to management. I like a stopper who leads from the again.

I like Gregor Kobel from Dortmund, I believe he ticks a variety of the packing containers. However his agent has mentioned he’s not out there this summer season.

Andre Onana stands at 6ft 3in, and I’ve at all times appreciated him. Once more, ticks many packing containers, however Inter have him on an extended contract there.

Diogo Costa can also be an excellent keeper, however he’s the identical top at Kepa (per Wiki). Once more, I don’t assume top is the be all and finish all, however for me, it ought to are available to play. Even when Kepa had an extended attain typically he would have saved some objectives, so I do assume it must be checked out.

However the truth that we’re even having and seeing this debate proper now, proves to me that Chelsea want a brand new primary this summer season.
