Sidzeret 2,257 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Barca might have to settle for Reina. Not seeing us selling Courtois, especially to Barcelona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtois has been living in Spain for three years, Barcelona are looking for a successor to Valdes and Chelsea won't sell Cech next summer because he has been performing well. Both Cech and Courtois at Chelsea seems like overkill and won't happen anytime soon as both are too good to be on the bench. Next summer will be decision-time, either sell Cech or sell Courtois.

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 How much do goal keepers go for????I was reading some reports saying Barcelona are preparing a £12 million bid for Courtois... you know, this has to be an insult to both Chelsea Football Club and Thibaut Courtois and I'd love to see Mourinho playing his cards in the mercato just like he did with Arsenal this summer when they wanted Demba Ba. Tell them Courtois is for sale, negociate all summer long and call the deal off in the last hour of the mercato so they can be stuck with whoever their fucking 2nd coiche gk is.

bushman 2,043 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 the clock is ticking on Courtois ,,and on Lukaku ..& fast too. Both will have a say in their future, soon. zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnythefirst 1,076 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 & fast too. Both will have a say in their future, soon.I'm gonna take a wild guess and say Lukaku will be back next season. I don't think, under the current circumstances, Courtois will ever play for Chelsea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think, under the current circumstances, Courtois will ever play for Chelsea.As you posted, a wild guess. The had his heart set on Chelsea for years, was promised to get a chance & ...dick.Now, how do you think he must feel ? If I were him, I´d ask for starting position for next year or I´d walk.Personally, I feel he will score close to 20 goals in this season. That will give him some leverage to bargain with Chelsea.

So much talent around signed by Chelsea & Jose buys Eto´o. An old has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,896 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 It's time to leave feelings out of it next summer and move Cech on. It's not like once he leaves Chelsea he'll be needing to take a massive step down to another club. He'll have his pick of a number of top clubs where he'll be very good for several more years.But we'd be getting the best young keeper in the world who can be a brick wall for us for the next 15+ years. It's best for both parties in the long run. DYC., English Freak and Mufassir08 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 & fast too. Both will have a say in their future, soon.and we will be stupid to automatically assume they will choose Chelsea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 and we will be stupid to automatically assume they will choose ChelseaHonestly, I feel the same. Why should they make Chelsea their No 1 priority, is my question ?Courtois has been in Spain for several years, has his love one there, Barca will take him, anytime. There is my answer, in his case.Lukaku, a bit different, but pretty close the same case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, get ready, it could happen, easily.Him being in Spain, learned the language by now, his poke is around, would you wanna leave to England & start all over again ?
