What's new

Willy Caballero

It's a good choice considering his age and him not set out to displace Courtois. From all the times that I watched City I thought he was slightly underrated given the "quality" ahead of him

 
Good move. Probably cheaper than Begovic in terms of wages as well, club has a lot of leverage in this sort of situation.

 
Don't rate him much, especially after the performance he had at the Bridge in the FA Cup leg in early 2016 (5 - 1 to us but Pellegrini played mostly youngsters).

 
It's a step down from Begovic, but since we need a back up for Courtois, I guess we could do worse.

I don't think he is, maybe he isn't better than Asmir but he is certainly better to play the role we require than the Bosnian was.

Begovic was decent when he had to play for those few months under Jose's meltdown, but he was in his comfort zone, his whole career he has been number 1 for mid table to relegation threatened sides and for all intent's and purposes his spell when Courtois was out was no change for him. Season just gone however was his first experience playing for a team challenging at the top and when called upon he looked scared almost, i'd love to know what his save% was in the games he played because i reckon it's similar to Bravo's.

Willy knows what it takes to be the backup at the title challenging club and for that role is an upgrade on Begovic.

Spot on!!
 
Why not. Decent keeper and has played at a tittle challenging team before sonhas the experience.

to be honest I was never impressed with begovic at Chelsea. He seemed very very susppect. 

 
I can't really find any negatives with this signing, though I'm sure many will.

Meh, decent squad player and a decent back up to tibo.

Not very exciting though
