LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Sky Sports Scout is our exciting feature where we scour the globe looking out for the best talent and bring you a report on what we find. The scout reports...On the brink of joining Chelsea, Thibaut Courtois is already being described as one of the best young keepers in the world - but is he?Courtois, despite only being 19, has just helped Genk to the Belgian championship and has already been called into the full squad.The teeanger began life as a left-back but having joined Genk at the age of 7, he was converted into a goalkeeper and, well, the rest is history.Already standing at some 6ft 6in, Courtois is a big target - but he is agile with it. He loves to come off his line when required and is brilliantly brace, a feature some modern day keepers often lack.Courtois does love to punch and parry the ball, in often spectacular fashion - something which he may need to iron out in the future but it has stood him in good stead thus far.His form for Genk this season has seen a huge number of clubs tracking him but it is Chelsea who are set to complete his signing. Despite already having Petr Cech, one of the world's great goalkeepers, they are already looking to the future and they have picked out Courtois as the man to replace him. The scout says...On his way to Chelsea in a €5million deal, but very sensibly he will be loaned back to Genk for at least one season.Looks a brilliant prospect and will be interesting to see how Chelsea handle his progression.The Scout rating...Handling: 7 out of 10Kicking: 7 out of 10Agility: 9 out of 10Judgement: 7 out of 10Positioning: 8 out of 10Shot-stopping: 8 out of 10Current ability: 8 out of 10Potential ability: 10 out of 10OVERALL SCOUT RATING: 64/80Current value: £5millionPotential value: £20millionSkySports Scout Report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 should be one of the last transfer this summer! We have the best goalkeeper!AVB is starting to annoy me!Quite obviously he is Hilario's replacement for next summer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severinb 309 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 He is clearly not meant to come in and replace Cech this season.To be honest this makes no sense.And cech can surely play another 7-8 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Abramovich 175 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 And cech can surely play another 7-8 years!We've needed decent back-up for years, if Cech gets a long term injury we're screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 From everything I've heard about him from reliable football people this must be a good deal for us. Shame about he's a goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanSnake 1,211 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 should be one of the last transfer this summer! We have the best goalkeeper!AVB is starting to annoy me!Please. Please, don't tell me you actually think we would sign a keeper to REPLACE Cech?He is what, 18 years old, and we jave a 35 year old and a useless keeper as back-up. Surely if he would replace anyone it would be one of them, and then MAYBE in the future he could become number one keeper. AVB is annoying just for looking for the future?God forbid what would happen if he actually decided to sell someone like Drogba or Malouda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severinb 309 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Dont think he will be happy to only beeing a backup for cech!Still dont see him as a top priority thats what i am saying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 What happens when Cech is injuredA reliable and relatively experience number 2 steps up until Cech can play. Courtois apparently has the potential to be more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Dont think he will be happy to only beeing a backup for cech!Still dont see him as a top priority thats what i am saying!He is 19, of course he will be happy to back up the best goalie in the worldAnd he himself said, Chelsea have laid down a plan over the next 5-7 years for him, which would result in him becoming our future No 1.

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 What if Cech decided he wanted a new challenge in four years time?We cannot predict the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Indeed. Delac is considered a remarkable talent.

So how far along is this signing then? And is this going to be like a double deal with De Bruyne as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
