DIEGOOOOOOOOOOO 2-0

Should be 2-0.

I played for my university and had a number of trials with teams but never played higher than semi-pro level.

I wish him all the best, tbh.

Is he fully, 100% healed? If so, stick him in the team. Otherwise, stick with the guy who is also one of the world's top 7/8 goalkeepers. No point in risking further injury. Take it from me, there's nothing worse than playing on with damaged fingers. I have two fingers on my right hand I can't straighten to a point because I broke them and came back to play too soon.

Shame I deleted my Twitter or I'd have ripped him to pieces for you mate haha.

Nice work, good read. Shame the rest of the staff team are too lazy/simply inept when it comes to posting stuff on the site.

Did he? He's shit though so doesn't count.

I fear we may be generalising here!

Nobody is saying Courtois can't step up. A lot of people just feel emboldened when Cech is in goal for us. Not everyone, myself included, got to watch Thibaut's every game for Atletico, so we are still find out about his game. When Cech plays, you are secured by the knowledge of eleven years' of consistently good performances and naturally you can feel more secure. It was the same when Cech arrived, people doubted him and preferred Carlo. But yes, people are reactive. Reactive to a - the fact Cech is playing more regularly; and b - the fact Lampard has done what he has done makes us a little more protective of our current batch of "legends".

I wouldn't feel threatened by Arsenal if they signed Messi, they'd still finish fourth.

Salah is obviously leaving, Schurrle is inconsistent beyond belief and Willian doesn't set the world alight all the while. Lavezzi would be a cracking option for a couple of years/or if we eventually sign Reus.

va bene.

Quantitatively or qualitatively? On a qualitative basis I don't think you can beat AlexIsMyLilHooker.

Absolutely. Imagine him playing in a side that operates on the counter-attack, relying on their wingers' high work rate and defensive cover? Oh I'm talking about us now, woops.

What's Italian for "fuck off"?

Lavezzi is quality and will tear shit up in the Premier League. Just watch.

From what I can recall, as a club we tend not to do contracts mid-season and usually do them in the summer.

Cech has 11 years' experience of doing it well at Chelsea. Courtois has less experience, but by doing it elsewhere - of course it is not reasonable to see Cech as the more dependable goalkeeper. Courtois is our future and will one day surpass Cech (if he hasn't already in some departments). But I just love the way José, the club and the fans are treating Pete with an incredible amount of respect, and whether he manages to get to the 500 game mark and/or break the PL clean sheets record, he will leave a legend, wherever he goes, because he deserves it. Even if he goes to Arsenal, I couldn't hate on the man. He clearly loves life in London/England, he has children and a family and they are all settled here. Arsenal is a real possibility for Petr, but if he went there he would go with my respect, and he would break the clean sheets record there eventually as well.
