Courtois was a Championship winning goalkeeping in Belgium when we signed him, despite his young age he wasn't an unknown kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Visser was following him before that, this is the guy who predicted the Belgium surplus and was scouting Oscar at age 15, let's give him a little credit.

nono 791 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Everyone who is a Chelsea fan will know that Cech is a club legend. We all love Cech and understand the significance of his contribution. At the same time though, we all know that age catches up to everybody. At this moment, there is little doubt that Courtois is better. I think Courtois should start, and if Cech desires to compete with him he should be welcome to stay. I think however he will be sold to PSG for a hefty sum.

I think to be fair, we should be proud of the team that we've assembled over the last few years in terms of recruiting of all ages. Youth team have come on bundles, as have transfer negotiations. Not something thats really been acknowledged by the media, but I think its fair to say the majority of us lot appreciate and respect the change.

Pizy 18,897 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Still just don't understand how this situation is going to work. Just judging by how Petr tweets it certainly seems like he'll remain with us. It looks like we really will have both he and Courtois in our side next season which I just don't think makes sense unless Cech is fine with being the backup.

DanishBlue 426 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Cech is still young for a GK, and he is a solid worldclass keeper. At the same time he has a lot of experience from the PL which Courtois doesnt have. I dont know if it's a good idea to just sell Cech tbh.

For one VDS theres Cassilas, Buffon and Shay Given. Jype, Mufassir08 and Term-X 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
