Thibaut Courtois

[Jase 43,479]

In a way, I'm glad Courtois had a poor game. (And he did) I don't care about Atletico and peoples expectations were absurd. Every time Cech let in any goal this season there were those who said "Courtois would have had that". He's a great young goalie and very likely the future at the position for the club for a long time, but he's not Superman and he probably isn't even an upgrade on Cech right now. Unreasonable expectations lead to unreasonable reactions to performances.

Unfortunately, we live in an era where young players are like gold, the flavor of the moment. There is a tendency for people to overstate and understate (to put it kindly) the things they do, good and bad.

Agreed. I was saying the exact same thing - he saves that easily if he moved his feet. It's an easy save that way and he still gives Atletico some sort of hope for the rest of extra time.

Atletico were broken mentally, that save lacked so much convinction. Definitely a mistake by Courtois but the match was already lost.

Technically they were still in it yes but it was just never gonna happen. I don't think I've ever seen a player allowed to just stroll towards goal in a match, let alone the CL Final..

Don't know if its true. He said to Atletico board he want to stay. Other newspaper said he want a permanent move.

Only if he want to force the permanent move, then I don't mind we sell him, maybe Costa + Koke + Luis would do. And also we could throw Torres as an addition to the deal.

Like they could afford the money for Courtois. Dream on.

:clown: :clown: :clown: :clown: :clown: Costa alone is worth more than Courtois.

no, obviously Courtois is worth much more than Costa. Maybe around 50-80 millions for anyone who want to buy him.

Even PSG won't pay that

Lmaoooooo!!!!!!! Koke+Costa+Luis are worth at least £80m ..

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Spuds ask 30 millions for Lloris. If Luiz worth 50 millions, I am sure Courtois worth around that too.

I'm trying to be sarcastic there with Costa + Koke + Luis. No way they would let their three important player leave at the same time. My point is that Atletico could not afford the money to buy Courtois.

You're way off. Keepers just don't cost that much. Lloris was a young and proven keeper and cost 10M Euros in 2012. If he were a striker of similar age//ability/experience, he would have cost at least triple that. Mignolet is a solid keeper cost 9M pounds last year. Keepers are just not expensive. (And Luiz is not worth 50M PSG just has their own economy where they spent about 75% more than anyone else would, Look at their transfer history. They are reckless idiots. Even worse than we were at the beginning of the Roman Era.

Goalkeepers are never that expensive.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Also you need to take into account contract length, demand...etc. It is not like Barcelona, Bayern, Real, MU, City...etc all line up for Courtois or something. He also only got 2 years left, Neuer costs 25m 3 years ago, Courtois should be the same because Neuer is still a better GK atm. For Luiz Barva and Bayern was willing to pay 30-35m so PSG upping it by 10m is really not that extraordinary as people are making out to be.

If we get any where over 30m for Courtois we would be laughing all the way to the bank.

Minus the italian stallion and Neuer.

Oh, suddenly he's back to "not being that good"?

Imagine if Atleti had won? Haha

Along with the koke+costa+luis comment, i havent laughed this hard in a while. The sheer absurdity of the post deserves wtf moment of 2014 for sure.

I hope for the sake of sanity, you were just trolling because that was batshit insane.
