Thibaut Courtois

[Stingray 9,441]

Lol I dont get what I done wrong here. Cech has been an important player for Chelsea for 10 years now, its not like he is doing any worse now. Why should he be automatically sold? If Courtois wants to come to Chelsea and fight for the no.1 shirt then brilliant, thats exactly what Cech did when he first came.

As I sais a lot before + confirmed: Courtois wants an honest chance. That is it. Period. What is wrong with that?

Your comment was really like ' Legend, he can't be replaced by someone who never played in the EPL'.

Ps: I called that statement, i challenged. Why not? And if yes, you are right, is this Cech FC, Legend FC, or a Chelsea we like to build?

Now I am curious, mister Donut.

I get the sentiment as well. And Cech is TOP!!!

But if you downplay another just because of it ... well that is bullshit and I am calling it. If you say: someone who has never called EPL would be a liability and you are talking Courtois: .... Wut?

Who did I downplay exactly? De Gae was also high rated and he struggled quite a bit during his first year. It can happen...different league, different country, different team mates. Saying "oh lets just sell Cech" is what pisses me off, like he is worthless.

No....my point was he is a legend and shouldnt be disregarded so easily. This isnt Cech FC and neither is it Courtois FC. We use the player who is the best for us. Whether that be Cech or Courtois.

Getting rid of Cech who has a record number of clean sheets for us and replace him by someone who has never played in the premier league. Yeah lets do that

Thats downplaying a Eurocup winner, golden boot, champion, cup winner at that age, one of us .... he is not De Gea and if you do say it, it is downplaying Chelsea players, mate. It is indeed not Cech FC. I haven't forgotten your way to tag supporters like this. ....

He also makes mistakes. Lets not judge him prematurely. I hope he does well for us.

Im not trying to start something here. Someone said Cech made a few mistakes this season, my point is no goal keeper is perfect. Lets just wait and see who Mourinho thinks is the better keeper.

Deal. I never wanted to illustrate anything else. So let's give the non EPL proven young buck a chance to get into the competition with Petr. We cannot be against this, it is about our next 10-15 years !

Thierry Courtois tells RTBF that his son will leave Atletico at end of season for Chelsea

Not really what he said.

here is the full interview (in french) http://www.rtbf.be/sport/football/dossier/les-joueurs-belges-a-l-etranger/detail_thierry-courtois-on-attend-de-discuter-avec-chelsea-pour-thibaut?id=8190844

So he said that:

"José wants him back, but Thibaut doesn't want to be number 2, Petr and Thibaut can't be at the same club and can't be rotated, they are both number 1"

"Thibaut has an important decision to take for his future and will speak with chelsea" (understand give him number 1 spot or sell him)

[duo11bluecl 207]

Actually with our defence so solid atm I don't think a world class GK gonna change much. Well they would be useful against teams like City, Barca...etc but then again most of the time in the league we shut up shop after going in front anyway. And if getting rid of him is a must to get Costa then it should be done. But I prefer us to pay money for Costa and keep Courtois, probably then sell Cech.

[pWneR 230]

Yes, he is a great keeper, but IMO he can't just come in and expect to overthrow one of the best keepers in the world and club legend who has been here for almost 10 years. If he wants to stay at Chelsea then next season he should fight for his place here. If not, then the door is wide open, there are tons of club that wants him.

Tbf, José has his favorites (Ivan, Lampard, Cech, etc...) and he doesn't want to rot on bench due to that.

Look at Bertrand, Kalas, KDB and co, Thibaut is not dumb he is already one of the best and fair to him if he want to take the best decision for his future.

Fav can always change though, at 1st Pepe was undroppable but then eventually it all fell apart. Same with Casillas. All it takes is 1 incident and the player is finished at Chelsea as a result like A Cole and his partying with Arsenal last Xmas. Now he probably won't get a new contract. Same could happen next season, maybe Courtois perform better than Cech in the 1st few rounds of rotation and Cech starts to moan. Jose would then sell him straight away in Jan if needed.

Before you start having a go at me, just making it up and imagining it. Can't see it happen as Cech is too nice, maybe if he had to he would accept his role like Terry and Lampard under Rafa and AVB. But I think Cortouis could be making a big mistake if he thinks he will walk in the team because he is good(which he is). Jose won't allow that to happen. He isn't afraid to do anything.

You can't put Cech in the same bracket as Lampard and Ivanovic because Cech is still world class and is still clearly one of the best in the world.

Very easy isnt it. Getting rid of Cech who has a record number of clean sheets for us and replace him by someone who has never played in the premier league. Yeah lets do that.

Oh yea, lets let go of the future to hold on to the past

Cech has a year maybe two as a top GK IMO (and he's not really in his prime anymore).

Courtois is the future, already arguably on Cech's level (only thing cech has over him is experience).

I get that people want to see Cech here, I do aswell. But sometimes hard decisions need to be made for the future.
