5 Emergency Goalkeepers Newcastle Need To Consider

5. Mark Schwarzer

The Australian goalkeeper is currently playing third-fiddle to both Thibaut Courtois and Petr Cech at Chelsea, and with not even the potential of a short cup run seemingly on the horizon for him his days are currently being spent picking Costa€™s blasties out of the training nets. Despite the notable handicap of having played for Middlesbrough, Schwarzer is of proven calibre and has kept his fitness and agility to an impressive standard going into his fourties. Given that his hairline has been further back than his defence usually is, he€™s not even visibly aged since about 2003. He€™s largely been pretty good in his spell at Chelsea, although he did once mis-control a backpass onto the post and straight into the feet of Erik Lamela. So he€™s either a steady and experienced custodian who€™ll bring a level of calm stability to the side, or he€™s degenerated into a walking €œwhoops€ noise for football gaffe DVDs.
