Hamilton 2,120 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 AS is writing it is his last season for sure at Atletico. Cause he's doing great and Real atre interested they want to loan him out in the premier league, if possible to a London based team.Not really a surprise i guess. It's always been said, 2 years Atletico, 1 year England, Chelsea.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weckerz 3,781 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Meh, he's too good to play for West Ham or Fulham and the likes. I'd let him stay in Madrid, until Chelsea decide it's time to start rotating with Cech.On the other hand he would gain PL experience and probably have a lot more balls to save per game.. Both options have their merits I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Somebody at the club needs to be smashed to bits IF they are actually thinking of sending Courtois on loan to Arsenal next season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton 2,120 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 He's tweeting that his concentration goes to Atletico and hopes they can qualify for CL, he also hopes he gets the chance to play the CL next season.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediator 2,026 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Why ? If he can play CL with Athletico, this would be greater than playing on loan for a team like norwich or fulham... no? Stingray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Why ? If he can play CL with Athletico, this would be greater than playing on loan for a team like norwich or fulham... no?It's better he doesn't get too emotionally attached to one club and also he needs a season on loan at a Premier League club to get used to playing and of course living in England. If he stays at Atletico for a third consecutive season I would say he's as good as gone and will never be Chelsea's first choice goalkeeper. Not because he's not good enough but because sooner or later another top club will snap him up if it is becoming clear we aren't going to get the best out of him. zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray 9,441 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 He should stay with Atletico, play cl, be happy and come to us later. You will kill his spirit loaning him out to a mid table team. That boy is used to so much more now (remember the supercup??) + he is just too good for mid table. Just check how he played for Belgium last games. If I dare say so, even now he would start to give Cech a run for his money. Don't just assume he is another youngster in need of a loan or experience because some of ou haven't reallt seen him play. He is more like the Atletico star together with Falcao instead of a young prospect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppi85 110 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 imo he needs the pressure of a top club (which Atlético is in spain at the moment). Its a totally different game, have to make 1 save a game or 10.At atlético he doesnt get a lot of work, so he needs to stay focussed to get that 1 ball! That's what makes a big goalie!

Jype 6,398 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 He's already better than Cech ....That's just the Belgian in you talking, no need for comments like that here. At the moment he's definitely not better than Cech, our reliable number one keeper for 8 wonderful years (most of which you probably haven't even seen if you only started following Chelsea since the Belgian revolution, but nothing wrong with that of course). Despite that, I believe he has the potential to become a far better goalkeeper than Cech after the head injury and that is why at some point we simply have to put aside our emotions and make Courtois our first choice goalie or else we will lose him. Maybe one or two more seasons out on loan and then another season where Cech and Courtois could share the responsibilities and Thibaut could also learn from one of the best before finally taking over as a regular starter. Cech could then either accept the situation like Cudicini once did and continue as number two (obviously the ideal scenario) or move on and play a couple more seasons at the highest level with some other team before retiring.

LukakutoStamford 779 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 It's not Belgian tinted. Cech has been a world class keeper but if you judge their performances this year you must lean towards Courtois. Certainly Courtois still makes errors but his range is greater than Cech and frankly his movement for a 6'6/6'7 keeper is incredulous. Cech isn't at the same level as he once was and Courtois provides unfathomable range. Take a look at the Belgium V. Scotland match as jsut oen example for a ball that Courtois makes (23rd minute) that I don't believe Cech would make.I'm not the only person and it's just not Belgians who rate Courtois this highly. People have just made the assumption that because Cech has been world class and top GK or one of the top GK in the world he therefore must still be the best.

Kinol 337 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I just watched a interview one of the biggest football sites in Sweden did with him and in that interview he stated that the plan for him right now is to come back to Chelsea and thats what he want to do, but that you never know what will happen in the future. For example he said that maybe Athletico want to buy him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
