bushman 2,043 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 So why not express your concerns with Mourinho and not the press? Why do these young Belgians feel the need to talk about what should be private affairs to the media?Perhaps, you should ask Jose about why he does it too?Courtois was asked, he voiced his opinion & said it well, that´s all.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Nothing he has said in that interview is out of order. He's massively respectful to the club, to the fans and to Cech.There's this strange desire in modern society to find something to be offended by, to make mountains out of molehills. There needs to be a collective unbunching of panties."Having both me and Petr at the club would not be the smartest choice."If that is completely normal, give me one quote by Petr in the last decade where he talked to the media about what the club and manager should and should not do or what would be a smart choice by them and what wouldn't regarding an issue that the club has not yet made a decision about. Forget Cech, when has any of our players said something similar? Even JT who is our captain is more entitled to speak in the name of the club, when has he ever talked about his personal opinion on what the club or manager should and should not do to the press?Secondly, if that was the first time he's spoken about the issue then no one would have said a thing, but coming off the back of the million thing about the club that he and his father should not have said, it really gets pretty annoying.Perhaps, you should ask Jose about why he does it too?Courtois was asked, he voiced his opinion & said it well, that´s all.You can't compare the two. Jose is the manager. It's his job to handle the media and speak in the name of the club in front of them. You have the right not to like the way he does it, but it is his job. Thibaut is a player, it certainly isn't his job to talk about what should and shouldn't happen in the press. Polo7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 "Having both me and Petr at the club would not be the smartest choice."He doesn't say that.Again, listening to the interview rather than reading comments out of context really doesn't make me feel all that outraged. He's massively complimentary about Cech and seems to be making a case for not coming back rather than demanding to start.Do people actually expect him to say that he would be happy simply playing the Cup games? Oh wait, people want boring automatons who don't say anything no matter how bland their comments actually are. Even the Mail can't be bothered to sensationalise those commentshttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2635282/Thibaut-Courtois-does-not-want-Chelseas-cup-keeper-hopes-talks-Jose-Mourinho.htmlWhy can't he say we shall see what happens? Is it that hard? That's essentially what he is saying. Reddish-Blue and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody will be happy to play in only the League Cup or FA Cup. Things are unclear at the moment,''I have the biggest respect for Petr Cech. He is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, so I think putting him and me in the same team is not the healthiest thing in the world'Courtois paid respect to Cech and basically said it wouldn't be right for either keeper to sit on the bench at Chelsea next season.Nothing wrong with those comments If you think there is something wrong with his comments, then I'm afraid you're digging too deep into a non-issue The only place to be, MrBlueGuy, yuvala and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe people are getting mad cause Courtois actually wants to play. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike 373 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 He's actually a supernice guy, but hey, you made a 'controversial' comment, good on you.He did KDB girl.Nice might not be the best word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodIsBlue 291 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Thibaut is too scared of competition, poor baby. I'm very disappointed to the point of not caring about keeping Courtois if he is worth so much. If the kid is already going to be a brat and expect things, I can only see problems of greedy demands in the future. Sure everyone wants to be a starter but if your actually confident then you should go out an be a professional and do whatever your employer needs from you, the results will come. His statements were not in honor of Cech, they were cowardly remarks on his own lack of courage. He's giving me doubts, I hope the kid smartens up.When young crewmen I am supervising at work start asking for too much or forget their place you know what I tell them? "You just worked your last day kid, good luck" and its just the way these things have to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukakutoStamford 779 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Muppets indeed ... Good lord unless you are a woman stop acting like one. How do some of you keep getting so wound up about this stuff? Last time I checked Courtois is paid to play GK not be a PR rep.

Popular Post! Shane 2,275 Posted May 23, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted May 23, 2014 So let me get this straight, This keeper, who is touted as the best young goalkeeper in the world by basically every pundit had the fucking nerve to say that he wants to play first team football?After playing a big part in Atletico winning the La Liga and possibly a Champions League?Fuck him. Sell him. Actually, fucking selling him, just release him.Victor Valdes is available on a free, isn't he?
