Beattie 0 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Was watching the build-up to the footy tonight and old Richard Keys was talking to McCallister, Wilkins and Platt and they were all talking about how they'd heard Chelsea had Barthez as good as signed. Crazy for me. Cudicini will be back as soon as next week and this Hilario fella is there. I know Cech is out for a year, but still. To me, it screams Jose saying: "I'm doing this because my 'keepers are in danger and hwo knows when I'll lose another? We will be signing one goalkeeper every week until Petr is back." Not the last part, obviously.. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Barthez is a free agent and experienced, so I guess it makes sense. Well, for a club with more money than sense it probably does. In truth though, as he's nothing better to do, they could probably pick him up on a short term contract that suits everyone. Will still be weird if it happens though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Barthez is a clueless bastard. If Chelski sign him then I'll laugh at them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Surely the boy Hilario deserves a chance, he was first pick at his last club. Cudicini will be back at the weekend and then they can have a youth keeper as 3rd pick. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraser54 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho ruled out a move for former France goalkeeper Fabien Barthez after their 1-0 victory over Barcelona on Wednesday. With Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini out with head injuries, Hilario stepped in for the Champions League tie. Barthez is a free agent after recently announcing his retirement. But Mourinho said: "What we have to try to get is a third goalkeeper and Fabien is not a preferred third goalkeeper. He is a high-profile goalkeeper." News conference: Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho He added: "What I know in this moment is that we have 50 agents calling us and, if they call us, they call the press. "So Fabien Barthez is a name. There are a lot of names in the air. What I know is that Carlo and Hilario are very good goalkeepers and it is not easy for somebody to come and play in this team. Chelsea are a great side and tough when they go ahead Barca coach Frank Rijkaard "We need somebody to give us security and replace Petr Cech in the group of keepers. That is the profile of the goalkeeper we are looking for." Hilario played his part in helping Chelsea secure the win over Barcelona. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
