CONFIRMED Jamal Blackman signs

[Harrisblade]

thats fine, no problem with blackman just think the way the artiocle is written is confusing and Wilders comments just dont match up with him talking about getting another senior keeper in then saying thta blackman was his first target?

Ever heard of 'misinformation'?

 

[Slim Man]

No he signed his first professional contract in 2012.

When Chelsea were in League 2? I must have missed that

Seems very promising to me.

 

[DifferentClass]

Part French, the top part.

French from the waist down I'm afraid.

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

Ever heard of 'misinformation'?

from an offical club site looks bad

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

I'd have rather we went for someone taller.

Joel Garner has retired

 

[Woodwardfan]

Delighted with the signing. This is high quality scouting and knowledge of a L2 player last season and a player in the Chelsea stable, obviously highly rated with a long term contract. Perfect fit and win/win/ win for player and club(s).

 

[Dkc]

Blackman.

Teehee.

Might have been mildly amusing if we hadn't already had Nick Blackman and Ben Whiteman playing for us..

 

[Englebert Wincobank]

Jan Michael Williams

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Might have been mildly amusing if we hadn't already had Nick Blackman and Ben Whiteman playing for us..

And Aidy White...

 

[Rusty view]

My only worry is with Moore seemingly injured for a month or so are we relying on one of Eastwood or the new kid on the block.

I'm slightly nervous about that but would be happy to be proven wrong.

I'd feel more comfortable with a month loan of an experienced keeper until Moore returns.

In Wilder We Trust.

 

[Tunstall Fred]

And Aidy White...

Tommy Black

 

[From the pig end]

He's probably going to be 3rd choice, 2nd choice until Moore comes back.
Why spend over the odds?

 

[loyalblade95]

wasn't expecting this, thought he was off to Bolton but he's here now so good luck lad

 

[Fanny magnet]

Are the nets smaller for u21s ?

 

[SandyMcBlade]

Can't say I ever heard rave reviews or anything from his performances while on loan so Strikes me as a number 2 for Moore.

That said he must have something about him if he's at Chelsea.

Let's see how he does

 

[Esablade]

Yeah, maybe the article was hastily written also!

 

[Weasel]

I know nothing about the lad tbh, but if Wilder wants him (which he obviously does) then that's enough for me. I trust CW implicitly as manager of sufc. Welcome aboard son.

Excellent scouting Blades. What a difference it is to have management who know exactly what is out there and what they want, compared to say Adkins who wouldn't have known a decent prospect if one had come up and bit him on the arse. Well done Blades.

 

[Grappler]

Does this mean Chelsea get first dibs on Brook

 

[Ricky]

So we're the latest club to be on the end of Chelsea's automatic 'give them a long contract and farm them out on loan' policy.

Would've preferred Ripley on a permanent deal but I'm happy with this. 6 foot 6, black, and played a lot of games and did well at Wycombe. If Moore's injury is only 3-4 weeks then maybe it makes sense not to make as much of a commitment with the new GK.

He should provide very good competition and could be good enough to become first choice. Right sort of loan signing.

 

[GrayBlade]

Why do you think he is "probably no better than Long"?

I'm trying to recall Long

My only worry is with Moore seemingly injured for a month or so are we relying on one of Eastwood or the new kid on the block.

Yes I can see where you're coming from, but we don't really know how it'll turn out do we momatter who we sign, even experienced keepers can be on a downer and prone to mistakes, we've had a few on loan. This kid at least seems to be on the up.

I remember a few raised eyebrows when we signed the late great Mel Rees. He'd only played 60 odd games in an eight year career for 7 different clubs and yet he was an absolute world-beater for us, outstanding.

We all need to get behind the lad if he plays and help him settle, and I'm sure we will.

What difference does the colour of his skin make ?

Bit embarrassing that you should mention it in 2017

 

[LoughboroBlade]

I doubt it. He'll be starting vs Brentford unless Moore makes a miraculous recovery.

Going by his tweeted picture it looks like we've added another to the League Of Captains at the club too.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

You disappointed ?? Well blow me.

That works on a number of levels, or is it just my mind?

 

[BigBed]

Does he know Ryan Leonard though!!??

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

Don't be too dismissive,Wilder is very fair and Blackman will keep his place if he plays well in a winning team.

 

[vorpal blade]

Surely just cover as Moore will be back quicker than expected?

what, quicker than you expect?

 

[Ricky]

It's just very very important, everybody knows that.

 

[Bladezz]

CW said he was our number one target all summer. But there was an issue with his contract. Guessing Chelsea don't allow there players to go out on loan without signing a new bumper deal.

If CW gets his priority target then we have to be happy with that.

 

[Rodley]

New keepers in, on loans from Chelsea. Personally I'm disappointed seen as most of his career has been played in league 2.

Not like you mate
