coughhh lukaku coughhh Kevin coughhhh

they will surely say good about us

Im guessing this well an truly kills the fantasy we can loan him to Fulham to adapt to the PL well and truly stone dead.

These two will be Chelsea´s spokesmen everywhere.

To loan him to Fulham, are you kidding ?

What would he do there if he can go to Barca ?

[kellzfresh 7,229]

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.

So hard, just look at that face

Courtois is so good, but Cech isnt done yet. What to do????

[haranr 485]

He is in the top 10 even though he doesn't have enough experience on the pitch ..... that's all I know.

[Korea 734]

I still think he will be valuated lower than De Gea, since both RM and Barcelona wants a spanish Gk to inherit the position that will be left occupied by Valdes or Casillas.

Also, I thought Ter stegen already had a contract with barca for next season....

[bushman 2,043]

Courtois must be ranked among the top 5 goalies.

I even believe, he is very close to Cech even slightly better.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

I would move on Cech next summer TBH,Thibaut is the future.

Right on.

From Chelsea´s point of view, this kid must be given a chance. I see him for years at Chelsea, but Cech is slowly fading, & should be sold while his value is still there.

[Beigl 1,387]

IF Thibaut is leaving next summer,I hope his destination isn´t Bar*a.

[bushman 2,043]

I do not know how reliable tribalfootball is, but according to their story, Courtois intends to encourage a bid from Barca.

They already confirmed their interest.

So, here we go, the Chelsea´s way.

[rohitmohanihm 39]

Didnt Courtois already say that he went on loan again this year cause its world cup year and next season he wants to stay and fight for a place??? or something like that

[zolayes 14,489]

I have a bad vision of Courtois leaving in 2 years time and 2 years after that Cech retires and we desperately search for his replacement.

Are you kidding? The guy won 2 European prizes and took his team to the CL.

Fulham would be an insult. No offence.

That's not my view, but other's have said in the last few months that he should be loaned out to the PL to "adapt" to the league, i have been saying for months that next summer is decision time. I wouldn't have regarded it as a 'fantasy' if it was my wish.

I think people care way too much about this. Courtois looks like an excellent young keeper, but keepers are easily the easiest and cheapest position to find. It's not as if we sold Courtois, we'd have nobody, we'd just go out and buy another quality keeper. For me, I'd keep him unless some time offered 25M pounds or more then you just have to sell and we can stick with Cech for another year or two and then buy some in-form keeper for a lot less money. If we do bring back Courtois, we should sell Cech, but I'd be surprised if we got more than 5M or him.

I don't think people realize how cheap keepers are. Neuer was 15M pounds and the third most expensive keeper in history., That was 2011. Lloris was 10-15M Euros last season. Both were young and considered world class keepers at the time.
