Marcus Bettinelli has signed a 2 year deal at Chelsea, not sure he'll get much game time & he's so much better than becoming a bench warmer

wonder where he will be in the pecking order. 2nd, 3rd or 4th choice. could be a good loanee for someone this season.

In the article I read it said he'd be third choice, replacing Willy Caballero

Is he in it for the money or bettering his career?

funny move for a lad his age. cannot see how it will better his career but will increase his bank balance. a couple of years as a 3rd choice people will forget he ever existed.

So what might motivate a player like him to choose to sign with Chelsea as the backup to the backup? As he tells the Chelsea official website in his first interview, it’s partly the challenge of competing against internationals, partly the opportunity to be a part of a big team playing for big trophies, and partly the potential benefits for his future career, be that at Chelsea or elsewhere.

“I’m excited to work with those two top-class goalkeepers and I’m sure I’ll learn a lot from them both. One of the biggest reasons for joining Chelsea is I’ve still got a lot to give. I’m only young in terms of a goalkeeper’s point of view so the fact I can learn from two keepers that have done so much in the game already even though they’re still quite young, really excites me. I know the coaching staff and the club has a pedigree of top goalkeepers so I can’t wait to be a part of that.”

Missed the pay rise out then good luck to lad was brilliant at Stanley just hope he gets game time sometime because he,s to good for warming a bench.

Total appearances in 9 years at Fulham 120 averages out at 13 a season plus his loan appearances.

13 clean sheets in Championship last season that's what got him the move.
All these big clubs only interested in stats.

always find that clean sheet keepers stat does not tell the full story. playing behind a good or bad defence makes the difference in the number of clean sheets you get. says nothing about your ability to cut our crosses and comand the box as well as how good your distribution is. the latter is getting more important in the game.

Your right distribution is a big plus with keepers Nathan Baxter was excellent at it best keeper I have personally seen at Stanley. Big hopes for Toby Savin and he,s still learning but for me that's an area of his game that can be worked on and improved.
