Thibaut Courtois

[zolayes 14,489]

Problem is, we'll probably lose him quicker if we bring him back now. He won't get any playing chances and he will start resenting the club.

CATCH 22

The fuck is with you people? No way the club is letting a gem like Courtois slip away from us

it is player power now...

He has contract until 2016...so I don't think it's his power

contracts mean fuck all really... great pity but that is reality

I like the way Courtois looks so far but I really don't worry much about keepers. There are more top keepers than there are top teams and they are not expensive to buy. Spurs just bought Lloris who is a young but established top keeper for 15M Euros.

[Jase 43,479]

After what happened on Friday, he must be thinking what the fuss is all about with all our new attacking force. Was almost literally a spectator in that game from start to finish.

[termninja 5,290]

And if he decides that he doesn't want to come here in the end (which I fully believe it won't happen) you know what? He can fuck right of. It was us who bought him and sent him on loan. If was us who wants to give him a chance to become a first choice GK for one of the biggest European clubs in the biggest European league.

What will he do at Atletico? Always be below Real and Madrid and play in Champs League from time to time in group stages?

We also have a good Belgian connection in our squad so he should feel fine. Courtois is our future and Atletico better enjoy him while they can.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

You guys are overreacting. Firstly he doesn't have any emotional attachments to us. The only connection he has to us is that he is owned by us. It's only natural he has developed feelings for Atletico. Having said that, he will jump at the chance to come play for us. He may need to go on loan to an EPL side first but he realises that we are a step up from Atletico Madrid.

[Ollie 4,400]

He'll be sold before he plays for us no doubt. Signed for £8m sold for £20m happy days.

2 things:

1. Courtois has been 'complaining' in Belgian media he hasn't been paid the last few months. This tends to lower the 'emotional attachment' a bit I can imagine!

2. What's up with all the reports in Belgian media of Courtois maybe being called back in January, because of a Cech elbow injury that might need surgery? Anyone knows more?

Would love it though ... he is such a talented young goalie! :blue scalf:

Wait, but who pays his wages? Us or Madrid?

RDM said that Cech might undergo surgery for his left elbow at the end of the current season so it won't affect Thibaut this season.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Wait, but who pays his wages? Us or Madrid?

Well Madrid are the ones with 'financial issues' so i'd imagine they haven't paid him. Although i've no idea how much of his wages they pay (maybe a percentage/maybe all of it).

That was poor from Courtois but every keeper has made mistakes like that in their career before. He just gotta make sure it doesn't creep into his game.

[OneMoSalah 8,614]

All young keepers make mistakes, every one of them. Just as BluesMaster said he shouldn't let it creep in to his game and he shall be fine.

[Beigl 1,387]

Thibaut is in the starting line up for Atletico Madrid again,today he hopefully keeps a clean sheet against Espanyol Barcelona.

[Hamilton 2,118]

And they won 0-1..
