Cudicini

He is a name thats been linked on and off since last summer I think didn't SGE try to pick him up on loan right at the end of the transfer window last Aug?

Not posted before, please be gentle. Whilst i'd love to have cuducini or given at the cilub, is the consensus that they are better than hart. Im not sure.

Hart is a good shot stopper, but needs to learn how to come for a cross without flapping at the ball. He also needs to learn how to distribute the ball quickly and efficeintly; rather than being too slow and ending up booting it up field for the smallest player on the pitch, or an inept striker to try and win.

Unless of course he is going to be 3rd choice with Kasper going and an additional keeper coming in, I know its a long shot, but there is a chance that's the way Hughes is thinking. AND WELCOME!

Great idea lets sign some keeper who's sat on his arse for the most part past 3 or 4 seasons and is 35

2007–08
Cudicini began the new campaign once again as second-choice to Petr Cech, but a string of injuries to the Czech saw Cudicini feature 19 times in all competitions. His first appearance of the season was in a Carling Cup game against Hull City in which he kept a clean sheet in a 4-0 win. He played against Leicester City in a 4-3 win at Stamford Bridge in the next round before making his first appearance of the season in the Champions League, coming on as a substitute against FC Schalke 04. Cudicini then featured in the next five games due to Cech's injury, conceding just one goal in the process, against Everton at Stamford Bridge in a 1-1 draw. However, the Italian shotstopper suffered an injury and would not be seen between the posts until February in a FA Cup game against Huddersfield Town. He also featured in the next round of the cup, but Chelsea lost 1-0 to Barnsley and were knocked out of the competition. Cudicini retained his place due to another injury suffered by Cech, and featured in Chelsea's 6-1 win over Derby County F.C.. He kept clean sheets in 1-0 wins against Sunderland and Middlesbrough, as well as a 2-0 away win at Manchester City and played in Chelsea's 2-1 win over local rivals Arsenal in March. Cudicini made an outstanding save in the last minutes of an epic 4-4 draw at White Hart Lane against Tottenham, when he saved from point-blank range against Dimitar Berbatov to earn Chelsea a point. He featured in both legs against Fenerbahce SK as Chelsea progressed 3-2 on aggregate, but he limped off with an injury that effectively ended his season.


2008–09
Cudicini made his first premier league appearance of the season in Chelsea's 5-0 win at Middlesbrough and this marked his 100th clean sheet in a Chelsea shirt.

Better than Baby Schmikes??

Yes! And better than david niven too, if more prone to mad fuck ups.

Sounds like a great idea to me. 35 is not old for a goalkeeper and he can help Hart and Schmeichel improve their game. Would much prefer Given but CC would be a good alternative with little downside risk.

Schmeichel will not stay at the club as a number 3 though
