Jase 43,479 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Craig Gordon has just been released by Sunderland. Maybe we should go get him as backup and sell Turnbull off! Shak, We Hate Scouse, CHOULO19 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Another thing, we've got quite a few Belgians here. de Bruyne, Lukaku, maybe Thibaut will feel more at home with his countrymen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Freak 456 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Another thing, we've got quite a few Belgians here. de Bruyne, Lukaku, maybe Thibaut will feel more at home with his countrymen Well unless we actually play his fellow Belgians, how on earth will he feel at home?I bet if we actually gave Lukaku some game-time against the lesser teams of the EPL (instead of persisting with the flop Torres)...he might of been able to convince Hazard to join Chelsea...rather than go to Manchester.

This whole thing about Lukaku not being able to joinHazard to join is just a way to justify the fact that Hazard doesn't want to join Chelsea. I'm sick of it really.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Craig Gordon has just been released by Sunderland. Maybe we should go get him as backup and sell Turnbull off!Or we could make Jamal our 3rd choice keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Or we could make Jamal our 3rd choice keeper.Or maybe, get Craig Gordon to be our No.2, Blackman as 3rd choice and put Hilario & Turnbull in the reserves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I like that, but very unlikely since Hilario just signed a contract extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea blue 615 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Courtois is on loan from Chelsea currently, but is keen to extend his time at the Vicente Calderon for another campaign."I want to play another year here, and then we'll see. I really want to stay here and it will be good for Chelsea for me to play another season at Atletico. Before he won the cup he said he wanted to come to England to play on loan in the Prem or Championship i feel the longer he stays the more he will like it at Atletico.and might not come back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton 2,120 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Courtois will not play in our friendly against England. Thibaut will defend our country this friday against Montenegro.Probably a normal decision, Mignolet is the one with the premier league experience..

Shane 2,275 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Let him stay, as long as he doesn't play in the Super Cup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Thought - As West Ham United have released Rob Green and don't have a huge transfer budget, perhaps this could be the perfect loan move for Thibaut.West Ham will enter at the bottom of the table, clawing as hard as they can to stay in the Premier League. That's a similar pressure on the players as the guys at the top end of the table trying to win the thing!I think he needs to experience true gritty football soon. Atletico Madrid have done him good, but if he goes back again, I doubt he'll learn anything further. xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5354 204 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I think he can remain at Madrid for 1 more season.Unless we send in a couple of our defenders there to protect him or his confidence will come crushing down/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,142 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 He shall most definitely stay at Atletico. Better team and also will be playing in Europe again with a team he already is accustomed to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/23222/7797204/Super-Cup-clause-for-CourtoisChelsea are willing to extend the loan of Thibaut Courtois to Atletico Madrid for a second season - but with one important clause.The Belgian goalkeeper will not be allowed to play in the UEFA Super Cup between the two sides in Monaco on August 31st.Atletico secured their place by beating Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League final last month with Courtois starring in goal.The 20-year-old was already eyeing an extended loan stay at that point and took to Twitter to write: "Now I want to win the Super Cup final with Athletic! I want to go to Neptune!"Courtois was referring to the Neptune fountain in Madrid, where the club celebrate their trophy successes.But Chelsea's sensational victory over Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League final appears to have scuppered his plans.And while the Blues were happy for the 2011 signing from Racing Genk to continue his development away from Stamford Bridge, they do not want him lining up against them.Atletico coach Diego Simeone feels the decision is tough on the young keeper but accepts it is Chelsea's decision.Simeone said: "This is bad news for the kid because it is a reward after a big Europa League win."But we could not fight too much because Chelsea are the owners."Personally, I would have liked him to feature against us. Would like to see how he deals with the challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I don't see any point in it honestly. If he wants to, let him play. We don't want him to hate the club. Iced 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 With the back up to Cech solution it's simple, get Jussi Jaskellinen (gazump West Ham's offer) in on rolling 1 year contracts until Courtois finishes his loan programme.Let Turnbull and Hilario go and make Blackman 3rd choice.

EdenHazard123 21 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 This is ridiculous. Might be the only European supercup he'll ever play and it would be a great experience for him.. Unbelievable move by Chelsea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
