🇧🇪 Thibaut Courtois

Recommended Posts

Alarming news in Belgian Media:

reports say Russian media are writing a Goalie exchange could happen already this winter!

Reason: Anzhi Makachkala are ready to place a 10 million bid euro on Petr Cech in the upcoming weeks.

If the club would ever accept this offer... Courtois could be between Chelsea posts a lot sooner than expected.

IMO this is total bullshit. But with Russian teams... you just never know (remember HULK & WITSEL, ETO'O,etc.). Also a 10 million bid on a goalkeeper is something for a club to think about... even for a hero & fan favorite like Petr.

I know Courtois is about ready to find his spot in the Chelsea team... but I would rather see Cech in the goal until (at least) the end of the season! Also it woud be way better for Courtois' development if he could train together with Petr for a few months!

Story to be continued... I will keep you guys updated!

Yea, not gonna happen.

Why stop there?! United are in dire need of a top keeper like Cech... I'm SAF would welcome him with open arms.

Seriously, I could certainly imagine accepting a bib for Petr, considering Courtois is already playing at a very high level, but NOT 10 mil! It's gotta be a an absurd amount of money for a GK. Pter has another 5 years at top level easy.

  • 2 weeks later...

This guy could be our keeper for the next 15 years. Maybe it's time to look at cashing in on Cech and building longer-term.

We'll have a new manager in the summer and the rest of Mourinho's team will be on their way (Lamps, Drogba, Cole....maybe JT), maybe we should just start with a clean slate.

No money in the world we should sell him, he's an instant replacement for Cech, how often see you that..

He could be, but the problem lies in the "instant"-part of your sentence. Some say Cech will be here for another 5 years. Courtois won't wait that long to become number one...

I'll just be honest - I'd rather sell him to Madrid/Barcelona for anything above £15mill and then buy Jack Butland from Birmingham City.

I can't put my finger on 'why', but I've just always wanted us to have an English 'keeper in the Abramovich era.

Also, once Terry, Lamps, Cole etc. are gone, we need good English talent in our team. Sturridge is sure to be gone too, and Cahill isn't good enough to be a starter for us, is he?

So why not invest in the greatest young English talent around and just let Courtois go for a big fee?

I can't remember the last time I saw an English talent as good as Butland. If I was to rack my brain, I'd probably have to say Ashley Cole...maybe.

Butland is going to be absolutely incredible in his prime.

I meant if we need to sell Courtois to Atletico in order to get Falcao, would you do that?

Ah I see.

No, no way. What's the point? We would have Falcao for 3 years until he turns 30 and then probably won't get another contract. Courtois is priceless at this point, he'll be our long-term replacement for Cech. And not only that, he's the perfect long-term replacement for Cech.
