As for never 'heard of', a few years ago outside of their club Scunthorpe United and their place of birth, Kevin Keegan (Doncaster) and Ray Clemence (Skegness) were a bit unheard of.

Simon Tracey will always be the king between the sticks at Bramall Lane

Nah, Mel Rees will always be the King. Bless him

He's one of four 'Chelsea' goalkeepers currently out on loan.

Yes Jim, Chelsea have NINE goalies on their books. (Nine, I ask you !).

Simon Tracey was the keeper the season United did the double over Wednesday

He even started the move that lead to the 1st goal at Hillsborough (when Dane Whitehouse scored)

The bickering has been removed. Any continuation will result in suspensions.

Hi stpetre, NINE is a rather large amount of goalies to be currently on one's club

books.Chelsea must have at least 2 goalkeeping coaches to coach them.

Its ' one over the eight ' so to speak.Can't believe any club needing that amount.

Another 2 goalies and Chelsea would be able to turn out a team full of goalies.

All number 1's, . . . All for 1 and 1 for all.

Back to United's new number 1 Blackman . . .

. . . anyone any idea where he is in the Chelsea pecking order of 9 ?

Chelsea operate on a basis of having players on the book and loaning them out, like they have done with this goalie. Last year they had 39 - that is THIRTY NINE - players out on loan. They had many more that simply never saw competitive football but were just training all the time. In total they had nearly 110 players on the books last year.

That's very interesting and quite unbelieveable to have had 39 players out on loan

during the 2016/17 season.

Below i have selected a team, a starting 11 from the compiled list of 39 players. . .

Premier Lge / Championship / Lge 2 that i believe would have done themselves

justice say in the Championship during the 2016 /17 season .

3 - 4 - 3 formation .

Jamal Blackman (Wycombe Wandererers)

Alex Davey (Crawley Town )

Tamas Kalas (Fulham )

Nathan Ake (Bournemouth )

Kenedy (Watford )

Kasey Palmer (Huddersfield )

Christian Atsu ( Newcastle )

Lucas Piazon ( Fulham )

Loic Remy ( Crystal Palace )

Patrick Bamford ( Burnley )

Tammy Abraham ( Bristol City )

What you reckon folks ?

Yes Southey owl, not that I go down to London to count them but I did look on their web side and it as nine and two goalkeeping coaches, (Peter Bonetti used to be one of them but no more.) Of course they can't all be in first team 'contention' and a few are junior players but all are professionals anyway. I guess the idea at Chelsea is stack up on as many players as possible so nobody else can have them and we'll loan them out to whom and when we see fit to.
