Thibaut Courtois

[mediator 2,026]

with each month that passes I become more convinced that he will NEVER play for us .

I think exactly the same i can't see him signing a contract extension

[LukakutoStamford 779]

It all comes down to Chelsea's succession plan at the goalkeeper position. 2018-2019 is not even remotely possible. He's playing for the 2nd place Spanish club in La Liga, European League champions, etc. The real question is Chelsea willing to say good bye to Cech and put Courtois in the starting role by 2014-2015 which even still might be too late.

Just because he's young doesn't mean he needs 3+ years of seasoning. As I mentioned earlier he's already a top 10 goalkeeper in the world and has the potential to be the best in the world for many years to come. He's far better than Pfaff (FIFA 100) and Preud'Homme (FIFA's Goalkeeper of the Year) were at this point in their careers.

You can't take him from a Championship caliber team and throw him to a relegation side like Watford just because you want him to get PL experience and aren't willing to start him.

He either takes over by 2014-2015 or you sell him, and there's only one option that makes sense.

If Courtois spends one more season at Atletico, that is it, due to La Liga rules you can't be loaned for more than 3 consecutive seasons I believe, so if Lukaku is at Atletico during 14/15 he will be under contract to them.

Good to see his shirt exposed in Atletico's museum.

You gotta say... breaking the record of a club (110 years old) in your 2nd season on loan and being only 20 years old... not bad Thibaut, not bad!!

But now get back to the bridge before you really get used of having a tanned skin there in Spain

Rumours + should be even higher :/

[bushman 2,043]

Another bombastic deal by Chelsea here. Buy young talented players, loan them out & then sell them for some profit.

Certainly, Roman needs the money.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Its the Daily Star ffs. They don't know anything.

[bushman 2,043]

Who knows then ? Chelsea´s management only ?

[Leif 6,006]

Nah, don't worry guys, I doubt that story has even a pinch of truth in it! I mean c'mon - how many guys within Chelsea decide how much we sell our players for? Now; with that in mind, would those people spread around that information giving it the chance to leak out to such a crap paper? Doubt it!

[bushman 2,043]

Well, regardless of the source whether crap or not, we will see later.

One thing I might say here, his future should be with Chelsea & nowhere else.

[Hamilton 2,120]

We would be crazy..

Its the Daily Star ffs. They don't know anything.

That.

Daily Star's stories are as trashy as the ones from Caughtoffside.
