BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Messi never scored against Cech vs Chelsea, Im sure Courtois will continue legacy well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eligius 121 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 From the article.Courtois’ key strengths are the fact that, despite his huge frame, he is agile enough to get down quickly to low shots and he inspires confidence in his defence by commanding his area. If Courtois is as good as lloris or better, I would definitely start him over Cech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good shot stopper but makes too many mistakes. Viper22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukakutoStamford 779 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 If Courtois is as good as lloris or better, I would definitely start him over Cech. Miles beyond Lloris. If you watch the last friendly between Belgium and France you would have thought Lloris was the 21 year old and Courtois was the seasoned veteran.

We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Lloris has been shocking this season. He's a good shot stopper but makes too many mistakes. Yeah, but he's French.If their media are anything like the English they will big up their own players to no end. bababoom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! The Skipper 20,609 Posted April 5, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted April 5, 2014 Lloris being bad this season has more to do with Tottenham's tactics and general performances. He's kept the score down for them plenty of times this season. Deserves to be at a better club, really rate him.

didierforever 7,349 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Meh, Friedel is better than Lloris. lloris seems to be more interested playing as a sweeper rather than a keeper. which is hilarious cos his decision making is horrendous and more often than not, he ends up costing his team. with lloris as a keeper, the defence can almost NEVER have an stability.courtois is a much much better keeper.

LOL Yeah, reminds me of Lehman a bit. I know they say you need to be crazy to be a keeper, but these two take it a bit too far. didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 If Real Madrid has Casillas on bench, why couldn't we have Courtois and Cech both? Wouldn't be too bothered to lose Lukaku for good money but losing Courtois would be bad business any way you look at it. Including him in Costa deal wouldn't make it any bit better, personally I think Costa is a little bit over-rated. There are only two players who I'd trust to come in and do a good job for us after all those post-Drogba years, and those names are Cavani and Rooney.

I think Lloris is one of, if not the best keeper in the world behind Neuer at coming off his line and rushing, it's what he does. It's one of his strengths. It's valuable in some systems i.e. Bayern's or Barca's game. Meh, Friedel is better than Lloris. No, he really isn't. He's having a bad year because Tottenham in general are a joke this season but that doesn't mean he's bad.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 No, he really isn't. He's having a bad year because Tottenham in general are a joke this season but that doesn't mean he's bad.I think Friedel was unfairly dropped when he was having arguably his best season solely because of Lloris's price tag. He's an amazing keeper on his day, and as didierforever said can be excellent with teams with a certain system. But he's a bit too "erratic" for my taste. Anyway, to get back on topic, I'd take Thibaut over Lloris any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xPetrCechx 13,570 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Negotiations are close to being concluded and only the salary is causing a delay with Courtois wanting to more than double his wages.#CFCChelsea are determined to secure Courtois on a deal until 2019 with executive board member Marina Granovskaia overseeing the matter.#CFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukakutoStamford 779 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I think one of the big points that isn't talked about here is Courtois presence and leadership. Belgian legend Paul Van Himst likened Courtois charisma and box presence to Lev Yashin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
