Thibaut Courtois

[Stingray 9,441]

When JT retires someone has to make the house calls. Thibaut's must be a good Padawan, I guess.

So Courtois is no keeper, he is a Poacher!

He has probably scored more often than Torres this year.

Your awesomeness is awesome !!!

She likes him because hes got BIG hands

It will be intreging to see how the next couple of years pan out for Courtois. He won't just walse in and take Cech's place, the reason Petr himself did that to Cudicini is because even then he was on another level to the Italian. The romantics will try and claim Carlo was on par but in reality wasn't even close.

Now has 18 clean sheets. Best keeper in La Liga at 20.

We have the best young keeper in the world in our hands here. Don't fuck it up and sell him!

Some impressive saves at the end of the game

Well, I did it earlier today for Lukaku's game, and Il do it again for Thibaut now: he starts in the crucial derby against Real Madrid, game under way in 5 minutes

Spanish media reporting that Courtois is set to stay for another year on loan at Atletico Madrid but the deal will only be confirmed once he's signed a contract extension at Chelsea. Would definitely be the ideal scenario here, would allow him to stay there and play in the Champions League but would also be good for us if we got him tied up until 2018. Him staying at Atletico without signing a new contract would be bad because after next season he'd only have two years left in his Chelsea contract and he could easily start making noises about moving elsewhere and there wouldn't be much we could do but an extension would be a sign that both parties are still very much on board with the plan. Hope it's confirmed soon.

Wouldn't be the worst thing to see Courtois on loan in the PL next season.

That way he'd be more ready for PL style of play...

There's still time for that if he indeed does sign an extension before being loaned back to Atletico. Another year in Madrid to gain vital CL experience and then the 14/15 season on loan at a Premier League club to get used to the PL as well as living in England. After that either an extension to the previous loan or a return to Chelsea with him and Cech both playing their fair shares of games and then in 2016 Courtois should finally take over as the number one keeper. If Thibaut signs the new contract at Chelsea, he pretty much accepts a career plan like this so there shouldn't be a need to rush things unless Cech suffers serious injuries or his form takes a massive dip.

If he keeps his nets clean for 17 minutes Wednesday vs Celta de Vigo he'll get the record for most minutes unbeaten in away games, the second record he'd take from Abel Resino.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I honestly don't think we will ever see him play for us.

[Styles 9,790]

I honestly don't think we will ever see him play for us.

If reports are true that there is a contract extension then I don't see how he doesn't play for us.
