Ed002, are Chelsea looking to buy any GKs to act as a 2nd or a 3rd deputy to Kepa?
If not, which GKs from the academy are thought of highly enough to take on the role?

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea have Willy Caballero and Jamie Cumming as "spares" right now and had no plans to buy a goalkeeper in the summer if it were not for them accepting the ban. Both Rob Green and Eduado were expected to leave but an issue arose wth the departure of Marcin Bulka who the club had great hopes for. JC will continue to play for the U23s so there is no pressing need. It is nothing to do with the academy.}

Is JC the most highly rated amongst our academy group and loanees, Ed?

{Ed002's Note - Why do you always ignore the U23s? Players are not "rated" against each other like that.}

Sorry Ed. Usually when I say academy, I mean both the U-23s and the U-18s.
Thank you for your answer.

{Ed002's Note - The U23 team plays in Premier League 2.}

Got it. I'll keep it in mind from the next time onwards.

Still a bit sad when I think about Bulka leaving. I can see him becoming one of the world's best GKs.

Why did he leave? Did he want out?

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea have a policy of not making promises to any players. They very much wanted to keep him but there are no promises, and if players decide they wish to move on they will not stand in their way - but they will say they want them to stay.}

Ed, out of curiosity, did PSG make him any promises? Because it did seem like he'll get to play because he started in the last league game, but now PSG have brought in both Sergio Rico and Keylor Navas close to the deadline day.

{Ed002's Note - Yes, that is why he left.}

Just an intuition Ed, but I don't feel PSG will stick to their words.

Thanks Ed, that makes sense.
