Only goalkeeper that truely deserved it. He was the best by far.

Courtois edged it because of that gaffe from Lloris today. They both had a fantastic WC

 

[manpe 10,861]

He was the most consistent keeper, well deserved.

[Unionjack 7,531]

I gotta give credit where its due he deserved the GG award.

With RM normally a team that cherry pick the current in form players it should help us get a few more quid out of them.

OR he signs a new contract with some clause about RM in the future - a similar one should be used with Eden.

They should both be made to get off the  fence this week or we sell Tibo anyway and argue for Eden.

Thibaut Courtois is very close to Real Madrid . The Belgian goalkeeper has only one year to go and Chelsea does not want to let him go for free. The operation could close in the next days around 40 million Euros. (via @20m) #CFC #RMCF

Looks like he is off to Madrid. We need a gk asap, Caballero as our starting gk means we will have heart attack every game.

COPE: Courtois to Real Madrid could be a done deal as soon as today.

https://www.cope.es/noticias/futbol/real-madrid-courtois-17-08-2018_240102

The whites want to rejuvenate the goal and  after the frustrated signing of Kepa in the past winter market , the bet is clear for the Atlético de Madrid exporter.

The contract of the recent Gold Glove of the World Cup with Chelsea ends in 2019  and therefore the English would welcome the sale. A price between 30-35 million euros is spoken in the foreign press.

In addition, the Belgian goalkeeper wants to return to live in the capital of Spain since his children live there with his ex-wife.

 

As our colleague Melchor Ruiz has reported in Deportes COPE, this same Tuesday we can close the arrival of the Belgian goalkeeper

Perfect timing if that's the case, chuck everything at Alisson.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Time to say good bye and move to our targets if Cope report it.

Even as a belgian, i can't wait to see the back of Courtois. As great as he is, i also don't think he has the ball playing skills Sarri would demand from a keeper.

Allison would be great, but then again 70 million for a goalkeeper is a bit too much for my taste.

If he goes we are either going to go balls deep for Alisson (downgrade IMO but still) provided Liverpool haven't signed him.  Bid denied according to SSN

 

Me personally I'd ask for Navas off Madrid. I know he is not world class but im a Kasper Schmeichel fan, too

[dreamcfc 182]

Don't know what to make of this, he needed to go but I fear this will mean Hazard is going as well. They've always seemed close and said they would sign together. I think any small chance we had of keeping Hazard has gone now.




 

[DYC. 7,542]

This is why I smile when I read 'we signed *insert player name* for the next ten years'.

It's been good knowing ya, big nose.

Now I hope Chels find a good successor immediately. Don't want to go through what Utd and Arse went through after they lost Schmeichel and Seaman. Or even more recently, post-Reina Liverpool. That's some scary shit.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Should have sold him last season. Would have got more money for him. Even with the WC GG we are over a barrell with his last season.

[!Hazard! 3,394]

We've genuinely had a world class goalkeeper between the posts for way over a decade. The only other club on Earth that can safely claim that as well is probably Juventus

Let's hope that doesn't change now.

[Superblue 6,370]

If Alisson is off to Liverpool i would look to negotiate Navas into the Courtois deal. Ask for £15-20m and navas and see where we get with it.

Otherwise we could end up frantically looking for a keeper late in the window and end up overpaying. At least this way we'd replace Courtois with a really solid and experienced goalkeeper for the next couple of years without being fleeced and be able to concentrate our energies and resources on improving other areas of the team.

I would say we went through a mini period of that with Cech in the late 00's, those Liverpool and Bolton games under Hiddink 

I can't see us suffering with a bad keeper for as long as those examples if worse comes to worse and we sign our own Bravo this summer, we may have a problem with complacency while on top but we have always been quick to fix any messes we get ourselves into (Torres aside).

If i go down the route of thinking with my heart over my head i would love this for a bit, Costa Rica is my second country (in spirit not blood) so it will almost be for me like it was for Bosnian fans when Begovic turned up for example.

Thinking with my head however, i'm not too sure, he seemed to have declined big time last season and there must be a keeper somewhere we can scout the same way we did for Courtois back in 2011 (he was probably good enough to come in for us immediately, but we had Cech).
