Marco Amelia's agent has revealed that Marco has signed a contract with Chelsea and the club are set to confirm it in the coming days..... that's if they haven't already. It's always hard to tell, especially since star players always have plenty of rumours regarding them.

Don't know him? Well he was a backup for Christian Abbiati, and well........ that tells you everything about him.

On a happier note he was part of the Italian squad which would the World Cup 9 years ago and is still only 33 years old! Even younger than Cech!

Some fans are hating the board for not giving Jamal Blackman a chance, but trust me. I've seen Blackman play and if we hadn't have signed Amelia, an injury to Begovic would see us get relegated. Therefore I actually think that this is a clever transfer. - I truly mean this. No sarcasm here.

Thoughts?

If he is okay with being 3rd choice, than why not.

who's this anyway?

Still younger than Diego Costa :P

37 goals conceded in 29 games for milan :o

Don't get excited if you haven't watched him. I've watched plenty of Amelia during his time at Milan. He isn't that good. Pretty much a back-up for the back-up (Begovic).

^also, he talks a lot. but it's ok as 3rd.

@Dyn

I know he'll be of hardly any use to us. I'm just excited because we no longer have to fear the thought of Blackman playing.

why is Chelsea buying a new player and window isn't opened?

How long is Courtois out for?

I've heard that he'll be out for another 6 weeks, but if his social media snaps are anything to go by, it appears as though he is very focused on his rehabilitation.

@liverpollfcangryfan I guess he was free player.

oh

Still better than ter stegn lol.

But Seriously he is pretty decent GK, but the main Issue with Chelsea is their back 4.
