Roofes

Wasn’t even a save. Just a bad header

But you forgot. Bowey hoys millions around for breakfast….

True but I just can't see it unless its predominantely players in the deal. Never say never but I wonder if Alonso is manager rather than coach to start getting the bloated squad under control.

*Penders is in the Belgium squad not the French.

They haven't got the money. They are 340 million in the red, don't have Champions league money, a horrendous wage bill and a transfer ban hanging over them for their ridiculous finances. Chelsea need to sell big before anything else, the only way they'd get him is to chuck players at us. Additionally, they have Penders on their books who is in the French squad, similar age and doing well. The Chelsea link does not make any sense.

They will still sign big. And no doubt will make sales that will be padded. Give him a 5 year contract and theyre fine. Penders is 3rd choice in Belgian wc squad, and untested in england (though i think Roefs has been overlookedby Netherlands, odd to me). Roefs they know has adapted despite being still quite inexperienced so is a more sure option. From all reports since alonso has signed officially, penders wont be number 1. But perhaps there are other options to view also outside of roefs

I think with a competent manger like Xabi Alonso, and the understanding of how well he did last season with us, Chelsea fans/ the club will probably stick with him aye. Every keeper makes mistakes and they're not completely insane at Chelsea - even if the pressure is more obviously.

I'd love him to stay, but I do think it's our fans trying to talk up reasons to keep him - rather then the reality of the situation like. Same with every good player we've ever had, someone will find a reason why they need one more season with us.

What happened when Jorgensen made a mistake?
