CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 You give us Varane and we have a dealI'd be very disappointed with that. I think Thibaut is worth much more and with the signing of Zouma, Varane would make little sense. I'd take 35m for him, though, and we can use it to buy the striker of our choice.

Popular Post! manpe 10,861 Posted February 21, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted February 21, 2014 True quaity goalkeepers are tough to come by. He's younger than me ffs and already regarded as one of the best in business. I don't recall anybody quite like that. We need to do everything possible to keep him. Plus his presence here could make Hazard happier Cech is soon to be 32 and he's not getting any younger. When we signed Courtois a couple of years back there was general consensus that Cech doesn't have long left because of his past injuries. If we're truly building for the future, then I'm sorry, but Courtois is going to have replace him at some point.

Abakan 14 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Even with Courtois, they probably would still have lost both anyway. Didn't play well against Almeria and pretty much got beaten by a freak goal to begin with while the other was against Real where Ronaldo scored 2 from spot. More of dip in form than anything with losing the keeper.Courtois played the match when Atlético lost 3-0 in Real stadium but he was beaten twice by his defenders... Impossible to do anything there because of the deviations. But without him against AC Milan, I think the score would have been totally different.But yes, Atlético is in low form for a month already.

Surprised no-one's bought it up previously.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4q3mVaE1kA#t=56Yeah he should of. I watched the game with my lad and he said that straight away. The only thing in Tibi's defence is because it comes over that first defender he isn't, but should be anticipating it getting to him. The header was two things for me......It was at the keeper, but comes at him low and more point blank than anything.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I watched the match and thought he had a rather poor game regardless of that incident. All the Athletico players had a bad game, tbf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 There's always gonna be the discussion of "what if" or "we should of...".Selling Thibaut and see him flourish even more would hurt immensly. That, added to the fact a possible small but steady loss of performance and sharpness by Cech and that we possibly wont end up in a satisfied situation with our keeper we'd always say "we should of kept Thibaut" or "what if he was our keeper now instead?".Same goes for the fact if we sell Cech and Thibaut isn't what we expect right away. There will be chaos at these forums with "we should have kept Cech".Whatever happens, at the moment I am rather convinced Thibaut will be a top 5 keeper for the coming 10-15 years. I really honestly believe that. It would be a shame if we let that potential go, unless we get a really good bid for him or if he's part of some kind of really good deal.

bouletje 82 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Athletico's success is fucking us over here, no success there and he would have been thrilled to come back and compete with a fellow top keeper, they would be taking eachother to a higher lvl.

It would only hinder Thibaut to have been here earlier. He wouldnt play as much and Im also sure he'd be upset about not being regular, and he wouldnt considering Cech's level.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 All good and dandy but if the guy don't sign a new contract we will be forced to sell him like sturridge when he has one year left.Or risk losing him for free....He still has 2 years on his contract when he returns. if he does not want to sign a new contract we can just keep Cech, let Courtois sit on the bench and effectively stop his bid to become the best keeper in the world already. Would not be fair but Jose is right, Chelsea has the power in this situation. Yeah he should of. I watched the game with my lad and he said that straight away. The only thing in Tibi's defence is because it comes over that first defender he isn't, but should be anticipating it getting to him. The header was two things for me......It was at the keeper, but comes at him low and more point blank than anything.That was really unlucky, cos it is just under his body, can happen, the experience will make him learn. Thibaut still does errors, but his reflexes and handling are better than Neuers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The more I think about it... selling Courtois would be like selling Sturridge. Look at how he was flourished at Liverpool. Seeing Courtois do that would be killer, because although Danny is a good player, Courtois has the potential to be the world's best goalkeeper one day. Personally I think Cech deserves one more year as number 1, meaning another loan for Thibaut. Then, in 2015, Courtois takes the number 1 jersey. francozola 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is saying "CECH OUT", just that it's quite unlikely that Courtois would be willing to go on loan for the third season running. And so the ultimate decision probably has to be made this summer.. Petr is the more established goalkeeper but if it's between Big Pete and a guy who could potentially give us over 10 top class years, I choose the latter. It's a risk, but one worth taking for me didierforever, duo11bluecl and BlueLion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanishBlue 426 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 No Way, Cech is a Chelsea legend and he is only 31. Look at VDS at United, he played until he was 40 a he was worldclass at that age. I would love to keep Cech for 8-9 more years. Fucking legend.
