We’re beginning to see increasingly Chelsea hyperlinks to potential new goalkeepers, which 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 prime.
Edouard Mendy was improbable 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, nevertheless it seems like they’ve been eager to see the season play out first after which decide once they’ve had a take a look at every little thing. That is most likely smart. However for me, I can see now that we’d like a brand new primary and that’s what we must always prioritise.
There’s loads of names on the market, however loads will rely on value and availability on the time.
For me, one of many important bits of standards we must be taking a look at is bodily stature and peak. I do know that you just don’t all the time essentially have to be the tallest individual on this planet to be an excellent goalkeeper – we now have seen many world class goalkeepers who aren’t the tallest – however for me, I’d very very like to see a extra dominant keeper within the field, one you could be assured will take management of crosses coming in, quite than flapping at them.
I feel it offers the defenders extra confidence as nicely, once they know their stopper goes to eat something up that is available in.
However equally as vital is having a goalkeeper who in addition to being a prime shot stopper, can also be good together with his ft, as a result of that additionally breeds confidence to the remainder of the gamers, realizing they’ll go dwelling to the ft of the goalkeeper if they should.
So we have to run the info on this but in addition take 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 feel he ticks lots of the containers. However his agent has stated he’s not obtainable this summer season.
Andre Onana stands at 6ft 3in, and I’ve all the time appreciated him. Once more, ticks many containers, however Inter have him on an extended contract there.
Diogo Costa can also be an excellent keeper, however he’s the identical peak at Kepa (per Wiki). Once more, I don’t suppose peak is the be all and finish all, however for me, it ought to are available in to play. Even when Kepa had an extended attain generally he would have saved some targets, so I do suppose 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.
