Spike 12,049 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 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.I'd rather not see our future keeper play for West Scum.

Madmax 9,219 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 What's the outrage about? We've done the sensible thing. There's a conflict of interest here if a loaned player is allowed to play against his parent club. We have it in the league, why not here?Not to mention a PR disaster regardless of the outcome -"Courtois helps Chelsea beat temporary team''/'' Blues not good enough to beat reserve keeper''. capriccioso and Duppy Conqueror 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 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.I'd let him play. This is not the Champions League, this is an exhibition game. (Except for the money). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidEU 2,023 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'd let him play. This is not the Champions League, this is an exhibition game. (Except for the money).Its a trophy, and I'm glad the club want to win it. I'm not at all surprised by this, most other clubs would come to the same decision.

Stats 7,142 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I Would let him play as well. A bit unfair on the lad, I can understand if it was a striker or someone but even we choose not to allow him to play, they have a perfect backup in Asenjo. He has been part of the team throughout their Uefa Cup run. We should not deny him from playing in my opinion, will be harsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,536 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 we aint a "help a disabled kids dream come true" foundation ffs and Courtois aint a disabled kid. no need to feel sorry for him.there are some of us fans who travel everywhere to see Chelsea and the club owes it to us to do what is best within the rules to help Chelsea win every game they play in.not what a loaned out youngster who aint done shit yet for Chelsea wants.i presume the player himself is mature enough in the game of football to understand this..i don'`t think him saying he would have liked to play in the game is a true indication that he has a problem with his employers decision.folks who think playing in the game could only be good for his development are focusing too much on a lil part of the picture. if Chelsea spank Athletico it could blow his confidence or if he lets in a howler it could knock his confidence AND hinder his second year on loan .he could be dropped to ride the pine and he could be accused of letting it in deliberately by Athletico players ,coaches and fans.it`s what is best for Chelsea and could very well be what is best for Courtois himself.

I'm not at all surprised by this, most other clubs would come to the same decision.The Community Shield is a trophy as well, I just don't really care about either. I'd take an away win against a tough side in the league over this game any day. I mean, really, what is the purpose of the game besides another way to make money. To see who the best team in Europe is? Chelsea won the Champions League, the collection of the best teams in Europe. Athletico won the Europa league, a collection of second-tier teams and teams that couldn't advance in the Champions League. We are the Champions of Europe. One meaningless game wont change that.

Nic! 301 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Courtois just confirmed the new Athletico agreement says he CAN play in the Supercup against Chelsea.

Term-X 7,891 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 The club would be MAD to allow him to play against us, he's a Chelsea player ffs. If the club doesn’t care about winning the Super Cup, then forfeit the game. Otherwise, we must exploit every possible advantage, which includes not allowing Courtois to play. zolayes and BlueLion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
