Tomo 21,751 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 £70m? For a goalie?I'd take that...I wouldn't. Tibo is a special keeper and no one his age is close to his level, infact only Neuer is full stop, I truly believe we have a goalkeeping revelation on our hands the lad has got everything.

Popular Post! Amblève. 4,995 Posted June 10, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted June 10, 2015 You only don't accept 70m if your GK is scoring 20 goals/season from open play. Otherwise you'd be a huge idiot if you didn't take such a deal seeing as GK is the easiest position to replace someone. bababoom, nadavTKL, Bosnian Blue and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you'd be a huge idiot if you didn't take such a deal seeing as GK is the easiest position to replace someone.No it isn't, United took over half a decade to replace Schmeichel properly and Arsenal still haven't really replaced Seaman, I can't stress enough how lucky we are to flick from one world class keeper to the other. Say Cech leaves this summer and Tibo next? Who could we bring in that's anywhere near the level of Courtois? We could end up with our very own Barthez.Quality world class keeper's are gold dust in this day in age, there's a reason Real are prepared to break the bank for this guy and unless we can replace him like for like (we can't) we shouldn't even consider letting him go. mikeholiday, MCM4PR3Z and SykikJV 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I don't know but I have a feeling we will see a better Courtois, if Cech leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I don't know but I have a feeling we will see a better Courtois, if Cech leave.Disagree, Petr was a HUGE help for Thibaut this season always giving him advice and tips about teams and small things that make a difference. We might miss that experience next season, but then again Thibaut must gain his own experience. King11Didier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCM4PR3Z 411 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I don't know but I have a feeling we will see a better Courtois, if Cech leave.He has had a magnificent season. The perception of the people will be more neutral if Cech leaves, that will be the biggest thing that will change. If Courtois makes a tiny mistake, the media and forums explode because Cech is on the bench for that young bastard. If De Gea makes 10 very bad mistakes in a row, everybody chants his name and he is the best. RoyalBlues and Essien19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunlight position, how to defend your head using shoulder when rushing to grab the ball, etc. Every time I see Courtois this season, he seems looks 'unease' because Cech is behind him all the time and the pressure is there. Yes, for other players it should motivate him more, but I feel Courtois not that kind of person. The way he want first choice guarantee, urged Mignolet to stay quiet and respect him, and else, makes me think he will be better player if he is feeling 'safe'. Just like at Atletico days.

Oscar 441 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Italy has a lot of good young keepers as do Germany. 70m is quite a lot for a goalkeeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there's a trade off but I would understand if the club sold Courtois for £70m and kept Cech for let's say the next 5 years.
