Thibaut Courtois

[dreamcfc 182]

So seems like we've agreed a fee, now it's just for him to agree terms with them over the contract. This is Courtois after all, golden glove winner, if they don't offer him 250k p/w he will U-Turn lmao

He would't be cheap enough to warrant the risk I don't think

Only last summer Everton bought him for £30m. Will be impossible to negotiate a reasonable price with them, especially after his World Cup performances.

Seems he is off.  A deal with someone has to be down the line. Alisson is the commonly mentioned name but we do like a left field surprise.

Hope this deal isn't confirmed until his replacement is in the door.

I don't get what difference it makes, any club knows if we are trying to sign their GK at this point, we are desperate.

I just don;t get why we've left it so late, it's no surprise he wanted to leave .. this should have been sorted out sooner, did the club really expect him to come back from the WC and sign a new contract?

We aren't desperate, as the final say about transfers lie with the club & not Thibo; he's not a free agent.

 

It's called, covering your back.

So if we're not desperate to sign a GK - you'd be fine if we didn't sign one this window?

If we agreed you would think we have something to announce next days, Allison?

I didn't say that. I was solely referring to Thibo departure. 

We could easily force Thibo to see out his contract before approaching a similar calibre GK next summer. Far from ideal but could be done if needs must.

 

Your lack of concern on the matter could see us ending up with Caballero as our number 1 or spending 50m+ on Pickford.

Liverpool are the stumbling block. I believe he could join them if they are willing to match Roma's price .

 

 

[Hamilton 2,120]

Reports here say Allison to pool is almost done.

We will probably end up with Mignolet or something like that 😆

Or even worse... Karius. 😂

Maybe you should go and look what I said when you quoted me, you said we were not desperate to sign a GK.

I never once suggested we should sign Pickford for 50m+ or stick with Caballero. I don't even think we will spend 70m on Alisson, I think if we were willing to spend that much on a goalkeeper we would have gave Tibo the contract he wants.

Also, I never once suggested we should sign Pickford for 50m+ or stick with Caballero.

If Thibo sees out his contract, are we desperate?

No idea what's different to grasp.

The second point was hypothetical and what could happen if we just sell Thibo with no thought.
