He's a kepa for sure. Better than just about every other fekir.
Something is fishy about this. Chelsea were penny-pinching for some time, signing the likes of Drinkwater and Barkley. There are plenty of decent EPL keepers they could have bought for much, much less - so why suddenly blow a record sum on a youngster very few people heard of?
Big show of support of their gaffa - who supposedly rates him big time.
He's not a youngster. He's 23 and was in the WC squad.
Perhaps Abramovic has got his visa sorted.
Kepa is meant to be very good like
No.. Only Real Madrid, Atletico and Barcelona all summer..
Courtois cheaper and more experienced is my guess.
Yeh that’s right, Madrid haven’t been tapping up courtois and de gea all summer. Athletico want to get rid of that Oblak fella as he’s shit, so have been looking for a replacement. And Barca have had enough of that Ter Stegen guy that’s not very highly rated at all.
Yeh, those 3 have been all over him this summer, spot on.
You really don't read much eh?
So all the stories of Oblak's release clause being triggered...
"Atletico line up Kepa as a replacement"
Madrid set to miss out on Courtois and De Gea stories...
"Madrid have Kepa as a back up option, even although Zidane rejected the chance to sign him in January.. With Zidane gone, Kepa could yet move..."
But yep live in your bubble where you have never heard of him. I'll be honest and admit i've only really heard of him for about a year.
And for the record.. Barcelona have the basque connection. Hence they were linked.

Why not? Sarri hasn't won anything in his career and managed in Serie B just a few seasons ago.
His stock is high right now - and is considered, at least by some articles, as someone who has had to fight to where he’s gotten on account of the lack of playing career and contacts - and presumably he’ll have had a few options.
Chelsea are a big club and will be paying him well but if their best players are leaving and there’s no money to spend what’s the point?
Maybe being paid well is the point. I like Sarri a lot, but I seriously doubt that he is a good fit for Chelsea (and they for him).

Boateng rejecting Utd, Golovin chosing Monaco over Chelsea. Both Utd and Chelsea seem to have lost some of their pulling power.
Pogba wants out, Hazard wants out, Courtois on strike.
Good to see when its not your own club, eh
Chelsea no longer has the financial pulling power that they did 15 years back, CIty are holding the boss hand there. As for United, why would you want to go and play for a highly defensive team with a grumpy manager?
It's glorious to see them having problems.
Thing is, there's not many high profile attacking managers in the game now, who would have the pulling power of a guadiola or klopp
Kind of why you see the same faces recycled as short term managers at clubs
We're not really in a golden age for managers at the minute
