Thibo is a Chelsea player with one year left on his contract, so as it stands, we aren't DESPERATE for anything.Get back to me when Real Madrid confirm his signature.

I get it - i'm jumping the gun by assuming Tibo is gone lol , apologies. I still think there is a big U turn - if we were to offer him a big contract.

El P. 1,354 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Agree, I'd rather let him run down his contract. Either Real pays REAL money, or GTFO. Nobody messes with us! (except ADL ofc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 The thing that is killing his value is not just that he has a year left on his contract. It's that he's told everyone in football that he'll only go to 1 place. So, if you're PSG or Juventus, maybe you want him, but he's not going to sign for them. So, unless Atletico get involved, there will be no bidding war. This is really how Courtois has fucked us.  Duppy Conqueror 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atletico aren't going to downgrade even if a profit is to be bad.Chelsea could demand some in return plus cash to make it more beneficial.

That's it though, we're over a barrel. If you were Madrid, how much would you offer? Knowing that you can get him for free next summer. You know this because he won't go anywhere else. You'd have to offer a bit, because it's possible that next summer, Atletico could decide to take him on a free and sell Oblak for some profit. Maybe Barcelona could persuade him, but I doubt they'd be interested. So, you're really the only show in town.  He's been on and on about Madrid for years, and it feels like his "maybe I'll sign a new contract" was just keeping us hanging around. This is why I feel let down by him, he should have just asked us to sell him last summer, and not told the world about how he's designed a way to make it cheap to sign him. I really don't blame him for wanted to be with his kids, totally get it. No problem. But, did he really have to make our position so weak in order to do it?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We receive a decent figure for someone with a year left whilst Real Madrid get a cut price upgrade. Shame we don't have an understanding individualwho would sign an extension, see how things go under Sarri and potentially agree a move for next summer. I certainly have no qualms with his motivation for wanting to move, just the way he's conducted himself during his time here.  On the GK discussion, I'm surprised there's been little or no talk of Donnarumma considering the state Milan are in and the ultimatum he gave for the 17/18 season (finish in the top 4 or bust).    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think he needs to sign a contract and see what's up. He should have just asked the club to sell him last summer or the one before. In a discussion with the club, not with the club via his dad and the Belgium press. If we're this upset with him, I can only imagine what Roman's thinking.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I'll be please to see the back of a starter I've never been one of the "he has to go" type of people. But, really, I just want him to go.  The next thing would be to get Hazard to sign a new contract. After Courtois goes to Madrid, it's going to be all "Hazard would fit in here, he would love it, we need him...." He'll be agent Courtois. Honestly, I want to sell him to Lazio so he has to deal with the ultras after he talks his usual bullshit during international breaks.
