mediator 2,026 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 This guy is a star in Madrid, and he is "only" on loan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Have a fear that we might lose him.barcastuff @barcastuff Thierry Courtois (father Thibaut): "Barça? There has been no contact. We'll probably soon discuss his future with Chelsea. He's calm." [dh]Gary Linton @AlbaEspanaThierry Courtois, Courtois father: "In the coming days we will talk about the future of my son" ''He's not spoke to anyone as of yet'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 There's a new craze currently going on regarding Courtois, called Thibauting...http://thibauting.tumblr.com/haha that's awesome, can we have some background though? what instigated this?

DH1988 1,348 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wow.. really shocked about this, hopefully its a ploy to get an improved contract or assurances that he will be our #1.Very annoyed if he wants to leave to be quite honest.

Hamilton 2,120 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 He is in no position wanting to leave is he? Still 4 years of contract to go.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 He is in no position wanting to leave is he? Still 4 years of contract to go..Eh? Not 3 years left?There might be a possibility he wants to leave. He's young and wants to play every week (like he has been) and with Cech still going strong for us, Courtois might not want to wait so long. And when a club like Barcelona come calling, not many players would say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 If this guy is the real deal, then he could conceivably be the answer in goal for us for the next 10-12 years. How many years does Cech have left? How much would we get for him in the market?Personally, I'd rather not sell this guy when he has so much potential.

DH1988 1,348 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I would much rather keep him and give him private assurances that he will be back at chelsea the season after next to challenge Petr.Plus get him tied down to a new contract after just incase!

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I really hope chelsea dont sell courtois.He has the potential to be the world's best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I really hope chelsea dont sell courtois.He has the potential to be the world's best.Problem is Cech is arguably the world's best right now and is only 30. He has at least another 5 years and that is being conservative. This is a tough one to work out and to be honest I wouldn't want to be the one making the decision.

This is a tough one to work out and to be honest I wouldn't want to be the one making the decision.It come's down to whether you want 5 top years of cech or 10-15 top years of courtois.Tough one yes but i would go with thibaut. zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was an outfield player it makes far more sense but goalkeepers usually peak in their late 30's. Cech is relatively young for a goalkeeper. If he left today he would walk into any club he wanted.In the Roman era Drogba and Cech have been by far my two favourite players. Even though Drogba left on a massive high it was really sad when he left. Cech leaving will be just as sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Who says Cech doesnt have another top 10 years?It's statistically unlikely. There's no easy answer to this dilemma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Who says Cech doesnt have another top 10 years?He will be having a surgery during the off-season and it is well reported that he might not be able to play at the highest level for too long as compared to other goal keepers.But it's so hard to just discard a legend like Cech who is nowhere near the end.

I can't agree with that. Cech has many intangibles that Courtois may not have. There are some excellent shot-stoppers in football right now but for all round goalkeeping Cech is hands down the best.
