I won't lose any sleep over this one. We binned Cech for him, the GK coach, reportedly offered him 200k a week months ago etc, if he doesn't want to be here then fuck off.

100%

No "big" clubs really need a keeper.  But, I don't even care what we get for him because he's gone on a free next summer anyway.  Sell him to Getafe for 10M for all I care.

What? ^_^

Look at what happened to United in the 6 years between Schmeichel and VDS, or City last season.

Sure.  But, he's leaving anyway.   Either we sell him, or he leaves on a free.

The guy does not care at all with Chelsea. He made it clear so many times. He is just a mercenary. Sell it with max price. Basta.

He is even toxic with Belgian national team - and caught up to disclose confidential information. Good riddance.

If he does the business on the pitch which he by inlarge has throughout his time here, i couldn't care if he was a secret Spurs fan.

Great keeper. 

Super consistent and an absolute wall in goal. For all the talk about him not being able to stop shots, he was still second in save percentage this season only to DDG. Tells you the level at which he is held to and judged at. 

If he goes, Butland or Allison will be good replacements I think.

Pretty sure he has one of the lowest shots against to save ratios in the league. One game doesn’t change that.

Very much doubt that, and even if he did his ariel game still makes him a big plus. We see just how good Tibo is everytime Caballero plays.

We hardly binned Cech, he was obviously going to be demoted to number 2, he was declining, Courtois had just had 3 amazing seasons at Atletico where he was arguably the best GK in La Liga. So many folk here wanted Courtois to replace Cech and anybody who says other wise is a liar. Yes hes playing the game a bit, he wants to move etc or is trying to pressure the board for money etc but its modern day football. Eden is in a similar place just nowhere near as blunt about it. Even if we do sell him, he cost us 8m and that was an absolute steal considering how good he has turned out and if we can convince him to resign then it will be a very very good move because he is only 26 years old. If we replace him with the likes of Butland then god help us. Alisson probably wont happen and Oblak is the in same boat, will cost too much and I can't see anybody spending 50m plus for a GK yet alone Chelsea.

His aerial presence is the only notable difference I see and it's not exactly something that's hard for a 6ft 6in GK.

 

Caballero isn't Hilario.

Not sure what you're arguing for here -he doesn't want to stay , we've stopped negotiating, we move on and get a keeper who wants to play for Chelsea. Bottom line is he's been well below par and shooting his mouth off.  I am pleased the board have drawn a line. The replacement is arbitrary at present.

I think he's been good.  Not GREAT, but one of the top in the league, probably top 10 in the world.

However, he's not bigger than the club, he's replaceable.  If he doesn't want to be here, fine.  Since he's leaving on a free next summer, we should just sell him and get something for him and move on.  It's going to be this summer or next anyway.

Turnbull wouldn't have conceded the goals Caballero did vs Spurs (first and third) and Huddersfield, let alone Courtois.

Overall he's been a good back up, but outside of penalty's Courtois is better in every sense.

And many wanted Cudicini to stay in goal when Cech arrived in the first place. Many wanted Ranieri to stay instead of Jose coming in.

The average fan has a tendency to let the heart rule the head, that's why our input ends in the terraces.

The one constant - Christensen

Eriksen's goal is the only questionable moment IMO.
