The only place to be 11,313 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Not sure what the future holds for this kid. Two great keepers, one with maybe 3-5 years left at the top and one with 15 years.Can't keep loaning him out for the next few seasons.

Goemaere 131 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Thibaut Courtois has now won the Europa League, UEFA Super Cup & Copa Del Rey at Atletico Madrid. Has won 5 trophies overall.We can't loan him to a lower PL side. That would shun him away to barca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goemaere 131 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Our future is so exciting.Don't jinx it! As long as courtois, de bruyne, lukaku and so on aren't in our XI i'm afraid one of them will get sold way to cheap xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they all make it, all three are astonishing talents, credit must go to our scouting team for actually going through with all three transfers. xPetrCechx and Bolt from the Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keikoismad 162 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Well, all I can say is I'm very happy.In the end, we won the Europa League. We had some newcomers in the team, some of which performed very well like Eden and Oscar.And on top of that , we got some crazy shit talent being loaned out.The future is bright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono 791 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Better than Cech. Yeah, I said it. Peter Cech hasn't been the best for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Cech is i form and injury free for some time now. Might not make it to 40s, but he can play on top for three years at minimum. Courtois, I hope we wont sell him, but where will he play for next 2-3 years? We cant loan him to Am every year...Besides, having Courtois, Lukaku and De bruyne is only good thing. If board keeps them, brilliant, but just in some case we sell them, we should act Porto/Spurs like and rate them highly. Kdb for 25, Courtois for 40 and Lukaku for 25. If anyone wants them, that are the prices. That is how our board should sell, not leaving players for cheap ala studge for 15mio... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toli 977 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 i think, we will sell him. cant see a future for him here. he is too good for the bench and cech still can play a few seasons...and courtois surely wont wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Take Courtois back next season or the one after, easily good enough to challenge Cech. If Jose comes back next season, whos to say Courtois won't follow him and be Cech's understudy? I mean Real have 2 class keepers in Casillas and Diego Lopez so you never know!

I mean Real have 2 class keepers in Casillas and Diego Lopez so you never know!That's a great way to ruin two keepers in my opinion. What's the criteria for rotation?He's too good to be an understudy anymore so we have to make a choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 If you'd rather keep Cech for 2 or 3 years and let Courtois go ahead of getting in Courtois right now and keeping him for over a decade you need a slap to get that strong taste of sentiment out your mouth. Imagine if Barcelona put sentiment ahead of playing Messi all those years ago or Real Madrid hung onto sentiment and Raul was still their striker When someone better comes along they're supposed to take their place in the team. Cech is more 'experienced' yet Courtois already has, what, 5 major trophies? And he played a crucial role in winning all of them. Yes, Cech was crucial to our Champions League success last season, but can he do it again? I have my doubts. Cech is probably the better shot-stopper and is better at timing when to jump up and collect the ball. His kicking is also better. He also has that special 'something' which comes to surface at crucial moments.Courtois has better agility, diving, on-par reactions, commands his box far more, is better at passing along the ground, is better at throwing the ball, and has far more years ahead of him. You could probably also say he's got that special 'something' considering he has 5 major titles, won Best Goalkeeper Of The Year in Belgium in 2010 and has (I understand) won Best La Liga Goalkeeper this season too ahead of the likes of Lopez, Casillas, Valdes, Willy (lol) etc. You can't get rid of the spine of a team all at once, but you do have to constantly rebuild at the top level and know when to put sentiment aside. I'm positive we'd be equally as strong with Courtois starting ahead of Cech; not stronger or weaker - but he'd have his age to his advantage and the fact he hasn't had a head injury which does hold Cech back a bit these days. We've seen what Mourinho did with Cech. Imagine Courtois. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
