Schwarzer just screams of Wengers ridiculous belief that a young player will come good, frankly it means years and years of thinking Almunia was good enough, but never was, and that Schwarzer is a very short term solution just makes you think its enough time for Fabianski to come good. Ok theres a very slim outside shot of that happening, but I highly doubt it.

Given at 10mil would be cheaper than Schwarzer, 2 years left, 4mil at least, probably cost us 5 mil. Given has another 4 years left, if they both played to 40, then given has 6 years, thats not bad value, I'm not really sure why we aren't trying to sort out a proper world class keeper who could be at the club long term. Cech has been at Chelsea, what, 6/7 years, VDS has been at Utd for ages now, Casillas has been at Real for donkeys years, Valdes has been at Barca for years.

A "great" club wins things with a long term keeper and is pretty much the basis of any solid defence. The fact that Schwarzer quite literally means no possibility of a long term partnership, trust between defenders/keeper, means we'll have to go through a fresh "learn how they like to play with each other" situation. Its not a coincidence that every other club capable of winning titles has a long term keeper sorted out, a quality keeper. Why on earth aren't we getting someone in good enough who can also last for 5 years +.

We are trying to sort out the keeper situation. We just need a stop gap until Woznejech Szechney (another P.I.G) and/or Manone come good.
 
Ramires looks like a good player but I can't see where he's going to fit in at the moment, I suppose he'll join Mikel, Essien & Lamps in rotation for a while.
What Chelsea really need is a 'keeper.

why do you want to replace Cech, surely he is still amongst the best (he was easily the best for a season or so before the skull fracture)?

Difficult to replace imo - a top-rated up and coming goalie wont get the run of games unless Cech is out for some time, and with a good 10 years ahead of him isnt likely to be retiring soon, and all the senior keepers are well attached to clubs (buffon more emotionally it seems, but still unlikely to move from early summer reports)

anyone hopeful of playing in the euros wont want to be No2 , and even at his worst Cech is still a really decent keeper


Would have thought majority of games your midfield will be Ramires, Lamps & Essien, with Mikel being a cover for resting /injuries and FA /Carling Cup games
 
I don't want to replace Cech at all.
He's becoming more and more injury prone now and what we've got behind him just aren't good enough, even for 2nd/3rd string, Hilario and Turnbull are just full of mistakes, the pre-season games highlight that.
