Thibaut Courtois

No, he really isn't. He's having a bad year because Tottenham in general are a joke this season but that doesn't mean he's bad.

I think Friedel was unfairly dropped when he was having arguably his best season solely because of Lloris's price tag.

He's an amazing keeper on his day, and as didierforever said can be excellent with teams with a certain system. But he's a bit too "erratic" for my taste.

Anyway, to get back on topic, I'd take Thibaut over Lloris any day of the week.

Negotiations are close to being concluded and only the salary is causing a delay with Courtois wanting to more than double his wages.

Chelsea are determined to secure Courtois on a deal until 2019 with executive board member Marina Granovskaia overseeing the matter.

If true, great news, i have been one off the biggest advocates to the change for some time now.

I hope Cech gets a superb reception vs Norwich in his last game at The Bridge (as i assume he doesn't want to stick around on the bench), to say he deserves it would be a massive, massive understatement.

From what I know, El Confidencial is a reputable newspaper in Spain.

I read the article on Antonio Sanz's blog and he also says that Cech could go to Atletico in the summer. Simeone knows for sure that Diego Costa is the #1 target for Chelsea and he wants to take advantage of this. If he can't get Courtois on a full transfer, he'd settle for Cech and apparently Jose is happy with the idea of letting him go to Madrid. Antonio Sanz says that Jose isn't happy anymore with Cech because of his frequent mistakes.

Also he writes in his article that Hilario, who is supposed to be the 3rd GK, is actually one of Jose's most trusted people at Chelsea and he is acting as a "Courtois scouter" for Mourinho. He watches and analizes Thibaut's every game and speaks with the belgian on a regular basis, several times a week.

I mean compared to Lloris and the rest of the PL gks, De gea is the best shot stopper in the league.

Agreed.

Courtois is the total package and I cannot wait to have him here. Brilliant shot stopper and a hulking, commanding presence in his area. De Gea took a while to get his feet under him in a new league but that was mostly down to his frail body type and not being very good at claiming crosses into the box. Courtois shouldn't have any issues acclimating with his size and build.

Lets hope this doesn't happen too often here though :ph34r:

IMO Lloris is a better shot stopper than De Gea, who often misjudges shots but makes up for it with his great reflexes. That is why he often does make extremely dodgy saves.

anyway Courtois is way better than both including shot-stopping.
