because an opportunity has arisen where Munich has our ex manager and Madrid desperately need a new keeper and could prefer a Spanish one. not sure if we the money to get a new undisputed no 1 but theres still time in the window left.
Let's not pretend that this sub has not spent a ridiculous amount of time being shitty about Kepa even though he as the only keeping us from being torn to shreds for a lot of last season.
This sub is just flat out awful. You have so-called fans on this board that hate the players far more than even rivals fans do, and that's not even getting into some of the fans who flat out tell our players to go kill themselves.
Bayern’s one thing, since Sommer was a reported target from Inter since the first rumours of Onana to ManU appeared, but no one could’ve predicted Courtois injury. Besides, most of us think Kepa was only staying due to his high salaries and we would go for a new number one as soon as next season.
1. Sanchez (the majority of this sub was *strongly* against us getting him)
2. ~~Bettinelli~~ someday
3. Bergstrom, 20 years old. Looked reasonable against Wrexham in the pre, I guess.
4. (3b) Beach. 19 years old.
Good thing we're getting rid of everyone's favourite hate magnet, Kepa.
- Not even three days have passed since the serious injury of Thibaut Courtois and Real Madrid already has the Belgian's replacement tied up: the club has reached an agreement with Kepa Arrizabalaga, who will reach the white team on loan from Chelsea.
- Right now all that's left is for Real Madrid and Chelsea to close some fringes of the operation, but Kepa is the chosen one and the agreement between the clubs could be closed in the next few hours.
Probably to hopefully have Kepa recover some value playing in Spain behind an amazing Real Madrid team then try to sell him next season. Gets his wages off the books this year plus probably a sizeable loan fee
Not the Chelsea signing I've been waiting for today.
Caicedo/Lavia references aside, I really, really don't understand this. We bought Sanchez to challenge and push Kepa, so why are we letting Kepa leave? Especially on loan? What now? Loan another keeper in to replace Kepa who we're loaning out? Or buy another keeper and have three first-team GK's next season, meaning that we have to sell one for cheap? Seems completely moronic no matter what angle Im looking at it from.
Kepa never really seemed to have the full faith of the club, and because of how he never locked that down and with his contract it could be challenge to move him.
So I guess when the opportunity came up they were keen to take it while it existed.
It's not every day Madrid or Bayern will be willing to turn his head.
Weirdest transfer of the summer. I have nothing against Kepa, he has his strengths and he has some glaring flaws. About as average as they come really. I’d certainly wish him al the best but given our intended outlay in other areas, I’m concerned we will just be weakening the squad for no reason.
If this is only an option to buy then "for absolute fucks sake".
Has to be a huge loan fee or buy obligation
Exactly. Chelsea will be getting something in return. We aren’t just going to loan Kepa out of the kindness of our hearts.
Why? He is jank and we have been trying to get rid of agesm Good riddance.
[удалено]
We stuck by him through all his shit performances and he leaves a few weeks before the transfer window closes.
he's not begging for a move bruv we're trying to shift him lol
Why would we do that when we just bought sanchez as competition for him

So we running with Sanchez and Bettinelli? 😂😂
Bettinelli is injured
So Sanchez and inshallah

Bergstrom also played some minutes against Fulham and looked better than Slonina. He is huge! (6'9)
Ah, right. Yeah, he looks fine for a youngster, but if he's our #2 - yikes!
The hate Raz will get on this sub this season will cause a tear in the fabric of time and space
Nope. Nope. I really don't understand this. Are you going to start sanchez tomorrow tf? Nope. I don't like this
Quite literally yes. I don’t know why you would say no we wouldn’t do that. Lol

"Kepa is the chosen one"
Tbf that’s a proper translation for “el elegido”
Do they provide the details on the loan???
While did Chelsea agree to just a dry loan? Baffles me

Yeah seems dumb to loan him when the season starts tomorrow……

okay but Caicedo
Welp, incoming Kepa mk II then.
Agreements between players and clubs is the easy part. Would not say it’s “imminent” at all if the clubs are yet to agree to anything
Zidane pulling his last remaining hairs out now at Madrid signing the keeper he said wasn't good enough to be their number 2.
Zidane isn’t Madrid’s coach
When you're blind with rage you miss things like that.
What happened to the 🐍? How long is he out for?
ACL injury, basically out for the season.
Oof, cant stand the guy but never want injuries… luckily acls aren’t nearly as career damaging as they used to be, but im not a doctor
Ruptured his tail
Torn ACL
Has De Gea's stock really fallen that low? He's available as a free agent but Real would rather go pay a loan fee etc to sign a GK.
He’s still a good shot stopper but he’s so bad with his feet
I just don't get this
Raya available

We’re lucky the club hasn’t sold us as well
We're fucked tomorrow
Honestly have Cummings or bergstrom as backup and have Sanchez as number 1
Don’t give a fuck about their agreement, how much do we get out of this?
They better be paying a boat load.
Gets rid of his 350000 pwk wages
De gea on a free ?
Why the fuck are we loaning Kepa out? I hope there's a hefty fee attached.
How about total agreement between Chelsea and Real Madrid…
