different level 1,056 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Perfectly said, if he has always been the nice guy everyone says he is, he will do it. Or maybe he is just another Cole/Lampard under AVB who sulks when things doesn't go his way? Tbf over the last 10 years he has never been challenged properly, now there is a clearly better player willing to compete with him and if he decides his ego is too big for that then he has to go no matter if he is a legend or not. This is similar with the Torres-Drogba situation but Drogba was much better than Torres at the time so he won in the end, but for example if back then Drogba was competing with Falcao/Cavani/Suarez/Aguero/Messi I am sure he probably wouldn't have been able to win.According to the reports Cech has no problem with some competition for the first choice GK in the squad. Courtois is the one demanding to be given that spot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's perfectly understandable for Cech to still want to play every game and compete for the prizes. He's not 45. Point is, if he wants to play, it'll be somewhere without Courtois around.

iseah100 5,612 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Pre season+ first few months of season to compete, if Courtois has a good world cup, even better. Transfer the loser in the January window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abakan 14 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 This would be non-sense to have both Courtois and Cech in the team. It's not like one could play at another place on the ground !Having Messi and Ronaldo in the same team is possible, but not 2 goalkeepers of that level. When Mignolet arrived in Liverpool, Reina was requested from leaving (or he understood it was better for him to leave). It's about the same situation : if Courtois comes, then it implies that Cech has to leave. There are plenty of teams that would be happy to hire him. But definitely not the bench of Chelsea. It would be a shame placing either Courtois or Cech on the bench. Courtois has a very high value on the market and it can only increase within one month : Champions League final and World Cup. So either Chelsea sells Courtois now for 30-40 M and continues with Cech. Chelsea keeps a good goalkeeper and makes a great financial transaction. Or Chelsea sells Cech for less (8-12 M) and welcomes Courtois for many years. That guy could be playing at a high level for 15 more years !

Term-X 7,891 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Cech has suddenly made his presence known via social media (twitter account). Probably his agent advising him 'PR wise' to get the 'Cech-brand' out there for potential suitors next season. He's still young for a keeper and 'legend' or not.. doubt he'll want the Cudicini role.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Basically he just admitted that it is either gonna be him starting and Cech on the bench permanently or him leaving permanently. I hope it is the 1st option, Cech should respect the club and accept a Casillas role or he can go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 He's doing my head in. Who is he to say what best for the team having him and Cech.

He's proven world class at the highest level and has won trophies. Lukaku on the other hand makes it sound like he should be entitled to everything.

He's ultimately been giving the club an ultimatum of 'play me or sell me' every time he discusses how he won't be put on the bench etc.He answers to Mourinho, not the other way around.

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 He's a fucking cunt. Wouldn't be annoyed if Mourinho fucked him off to some club in Russia and stayed faithful to Cech.Anyway big Pete will probably be forced out like Ashley was. Milan, Monaco, Atletico and Roma could be options for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Seems the writing is already on the wall if you ask me. They will come to camp together and likely start Courtois then move Cech in January or in the summer. Makes absolutely no sense to keep Cech and allow this 22yr old phenom go to the highest bidder, we're building for the future and right now Courtois is playing at an elite level.Its too bad, Courtois just matured faster than anyone would've ever expected him to. Having said that I'd keep Cech for a bit longer just to make Courtois' adjustment run smoother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
