The only place to be 11,313 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 If he's okay with it, why aren't you? Oh, he's okay with it. I haven't spoken to him this morning.And sending him out on loan for three consecutive seasons without giving him the chance to even meet Cech, let alone challenge him for the shirt, is? I'm fairly certain he's met Cech on at least one occasion. As for his loans, they've allowed him to establish himself as one of the top keepers in Europe, win a Europa League winner's medal, a Super Cup winner's medal and also win his national team's shirt.Coming back to Fulham would be a massive step-down for him and would also rob him of experience in the Champions League.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Oh, he's okay with it. I haven't spoken to him this morning.Do you think the club can decide his future without his approval? If we're offering to loan him then he has agreed because the deal can't go through without his approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't get that sitting here on the bench, and sending him on loan to Arsenal, for instance, would be suicidal as we'd be strengthening a rival.

bushman 2,043 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 And we will see that the lack of vision and policy plaguing Chelsea will lead to the loss of young talent: Courtois and KDB. Enter another failure. If they fuck this up - Roman and the ones responsible can just fuck off. Period.What does Roman has to do with it ?Are you not a bit too hasty in your knowledge as to who is responsible for players, transfers ?

He won't get that sitting here on the bench, and sending him on loan to Arsenal, for instance, would be suicidal as we'd be strengthening a rival. I've not seen anything in his game that suggests he needs a season in the league here. What sets him apart from other young keepers (and I'm think specifically De Gea here) is that he's always had solid fundamentals. His ability in the air has always been one of his strengths, and he's always impressed me because he does the basics well. For his size he gets down extremely well and coming from a more 'basic' league in Belgium, he's got that experience of slightly messier, more utilitarian football.So I think sending him to Fulham doesn't help him enough to mitigate the loss of another season in Madrid where he gets a chance to play Champions League football.Basically I think it's a bit of a low-class move if we do that.

Stingray 9,441 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 What does Roman has to do with it ?Are you not a bit too hasty in your knowledge as to who is responsible for players, transfers ?It is still Roman and the board that determine policy. I was talking about the lack of it. Not the transfer policy, actually. The decision to postpone communication to loaned out players is having an effect on them. Also, in case of KDB, where is the long term vision when its up to Mourinho to decide KDB's future. I respect a managers role, but this is exactly what is creating the whorehouse scenarios of lately. Hence my outburst:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushman 2,043 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I don't. Nobody does. Also, never said so. It was hypothetical.Therefore, we all have to rely on the Chelsea board to make decisions as to transfers now. So far, what I have seen for the past 2-3 years, several young talented players were bought but are out on loans.Money were spent, but the team actually have not benefited from these deals. Therefore, I would like to see some changes on the board. Stingray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atholy 1,293 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Another clean sheet for our big guy in the 0-0 draw against Getafe.Thibaut did really well! Certainly of you know the team ended the game with only 9 players!!Courtois now has 8 clean sheets in 2013 => the best GK in all 5 european top competitions.In total his counter now sets 16(!) clean sheets until this far this season.So now we 'officially' have both the best goalkeepers in Europe among our ranks!

Stingray 9,441 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 -Not clean sheets at home thoughHes been fucking De Bruynes' missus. He'll fit right in at Chelsea Naaaah she did go to Madrid WITH her family and shit, but they didn't meet according to her family and Courtois' dad. It's gossip blown out of proportions - even Wilmots had to sort that shit out (even came to Chelsea) - which I can understand just before the NT game against Macedonia. . Apparantly the two were already joking togeher again at the training ground of the NT. Thank god for that. Jase 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
