There's always the chance that Courtois does a WWF-style move in the 90th minute of the second leg. Score is 0-0, extra time is looming, Torres takes a shot from 12 yards which eventually reaches Cour

He nailed that penalty like it was De Bruyne's bird.

When I rewatched the save of the 1v1 I noticed he seems to get low to the ground so quickly, and I mean this in a good way Just watch Scznenzyzne-thingy against Naismith yesterday When he gets in t

If the new boss said on the face of Courtois on their first meeting, 'YOU STAY!!'  then moved to Hazard, 'YOU TOO, STAY!!'  before they could even say a word. It will be solved.

Whats he gonna say to Costa?

Wonder when his 1st meeing with the lads is going to be? I'd like to be a fly on the wall for that one.

I just hope Italy get knocked out early so his mind can get firmly on the job. Going to be a busy summer - lets hope so anyways.

He will meet them first at the euro's, a bit strange to compete against your next coach..

Who knows maybe they have met today, as rumour said Conte is in London.

Nice thinking. It's true, according to the DM at least. Antonio Conte springs surprise visit on Chelsea and will hold crunch talks with John Terry, Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and Nemanja Matic

Media saying we are willing to let him go for €60m..

 

If someone, probably Real, offers this amount of money, then definitely sell him & get Butland. We need to keep our English identity and Butland is a fantastic young goalkeeper. I don't want Chelsea to be consisted of only non-English players, we need to have some identity.

Stoke will want around £30m most likely (Chelsea tax + young English player tax), taking the vast majority of the Courtois fee if so. Begovic is fine for now. Other areas of the squad are in desperate need of investment by comparison. At least 2 defenders, a striker, a midfielder (or two) should all be priorities ahead of a costly goalkeeper in my opinion.

Or we could do a United and get Keylor Navas as part of the deal.

Not since Santiago Canizares have I seen a keeper so underrated.

Navas is a great shout to be fair. Don't think he would take much off our price tag either considering he's pushing 30.

I really like Thibaut and I think he has a great future ahead of him, but for those who say that he is already one of the best in the world, did any of you watch Buffon against Milan yesterday? Because THAT is what the best keepers in the world are capable of, and I'm sorry, but Thibaut simply is not just yet.

Was just watching the highlights. WHAT KIND OF SAVES WERE THOSE?! My God. 

 

Thibaut has a long way to go. He needs to pick it up this season. 

I hope he does it, even if I am critical of him, and his comments and performances aren't doing him favours.

Buffon is the GOAT, let's be fair. Bit unfair to compare a 23 year old to an absolute veteran.

Absolutely, in a league of his own. There won't be another like him, so it's very harsh to compare the two. Like Hazard and Ronaldo almost.. Have to be judged on their own merits.
