Remember all the PR from weeks ago saying Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic were the goalkeepers for next season and Chelsea didn’t want to sign a new stopper? Remember them claiming Maresca (through PR) has chosen Sanchez as his number one? Again, do they think we are stupid?
Maresca studied data of every single player, imagine thinking that he chose Sanchez as his number one stopper as a result of that? Maresca wants a stopper who is confident with his feet, not someone who is confident of brain farting with his feet. Why would he chose Sanchez? Again, it’s all face saving.
It is correct that he was happy to see him and Petrovic in training, but Chelsea have always been searching for a new goalkeeper these last couple of months.
Filip Jorgensen is now apparently the goalkeeper we are pushing for, or at least one of four.
Our info on this is that we have spoke to Jorgensen through agents in recent days but there have been no offers or anything agreed at this point. Sources say there are ‘quite a few’ goalkeepers we are exploring. So once again, I’ll refrain from giving my full reactions to this until it becomes a real potential move.
But if we are signing a new goalkeeper then quite simply it has to be an established option that improves what we already have, right? Is Jorgensen that guy? I would be lying if I said I’ve watched him play a lot, but based off everything I’ve heard from people who have watched him a lot, then I’d have concerns over whether he is that guy.
And here are some facts to back that up. Jorgensen is 22, never been capped at senior international level, and has played just 38 senior games in a top European league. Is that really the stats behind a new number one goalkeeper who should be coming in this summer? And we absolutely MUST be looking for a new number one by the way, not someone to offer competition to Sanchez. I’m not saying Jorgensen wont end up being good and of course, I’d give him every chance to be. But…
