Scezney really that good?

It's unrealistic talking about the likes of Neuer and other world class names. We need three or four other players including a striker, a midfielder(or two if Cesc leaves) and a CB. There's even a case for buying a new wide man especially if Arshavin goes. We can't afford to buy top players in all those positions and all of the proven keepers would take a HUGE chunk of the transfer kitty.

On top of that MO is dead right about the possibility of Chesney leaving if he is pushed back to 2nd place again. He even threatened to do so himself earlier this season!

Keep the faith in Chesney and keep a wise head like Jens in the squad or coaching staff to keep him in check.

Both De Gea and Neuer are supposed to be going for around 18M euros. With everything else we need to strengthen, don't think we can afford to drop that amount on a keeper.

And don't forget that Man Utd will be sniffing around for a replacement for Van der sar. The prices will go up that little bit more.

Pretty much. We aint gonna sign a worldy if we signed any 'keeper it'd be Mark Schwarzer-esque and I'd rather stick with Chesney. Plus like as @Marc Overmars; says we could lose him if he becomes no.2 and he could yet become a worldy so its not worth the risk imo.

Ah yes, I forgot. We need to pander to the players rather than build a winning team. Rookie keeper, rookie CBs, rookie midfielders and RvP. Should be enough to clinch the title.

In case you forgot we aren't exactly sitting on a £500 billion summer war chest. The proven world class names will cost a bombshell and we wont have enough to strengthen on more important areas such as defence and our forward line. But yeah good in theory I guess.

No but Chesney is a bit of a special case in as much as finding someone better will be hard and he isn't that bad, other areas need strengthening more.

That's again not funny or clever. I suggest you read the discussion properly before weighing in.

so was cesc, though. We pandered to him (not saying it was the wrong thing to do) and now he is not happy with the same system that gave him the chance (and i don't blame him either).
