Thibaut Courtois

[Pizy 18,453]

Really wish he'd come out and publicly say he wants to stay or that he's looking forward to putting this season behind him or even admit that he owes the supporters who have stood by him and the team during this terrible period. Hazard, Cesc, Willian and others have all done so.

These reports make him sound like the biggest pussy on Earth with no balls or bottle. Like a whiny child who wants out because he hits a bit of adversity. Seems like the only time we even actually hear direct quotes from Courtois are when he's on international duty and stirring shit about Chelsea.

If he's trying to force our hands I hope we bleed whoever it is that wants him for an absurd fee.

I miss real die hard football fans here on this forum. They would NEVER look at these things in short term. One lousy season... That sucks. But this will be forgotten in a glimpse very soon! It feels like TC is overfilled with SUCCESS fans who switch teams/forums like cars!

Courtois's performances have never been anywhere near bad enough to consider selling, imo. Okay, if he signs off on a transfer request, then we have to talk (again).
But each player has their own case, i don't think everyone deserves to be part of this squad next season. Not after what happened.

I have one problem and one problem only: sometimes a player leaves the club for good, most of the members keep calm because they understand the reasons, so far so good,
but if the player excels in a different environment, everyone knew that the selling was a mistake and would come back to bite all of us in the arse.
Here comes the problem, no one likes a show off, no one likes the phrase 'told you', Would have been so much better, if the guys were proactive and stated it long before.
Just how they like their defenders being proactive!
But that requires courage and a possible 'walk of shame', why should i stuck my neck out when i could have it the easy way?!

Welcome to the Blue world, Chelsea Football Club, where insulting Chelsea legends are normal, even the Reds aren't crying as much as some Blues.
Don't know what caused it. One thing is an absolute necessity, Conte better win things and quickly.
Before i forget, selling any youth player won't go well with some fans, because they are the future, especially the gems from one particular country.

The 75m valuation for a GK is just another way of saying fuck off!

Lol. He is not world class mate. De Gea, Buffon and Neuer are a few world class goalies. Courtois doesnt get into that club.

I agree with this it would make things better and the fans would get off his back aswell chelsea ditch a good keeper for him at least he should respect the club and the fans by saying something

Funny that you slag Courtois off for his recent form yet  champagne De Gea who has conceded from a corner and single handedly handed Norwich a win at Old Trafford amoungst other things this season.

Not saying De Gea is bad but he has a tendency to make easy saves look extremely hard and dramatic.

And he has saved them so many points this season. Im not expecting a faultless goalie, just a competent one. Courtois isnt competent. I dont feel safe with him in goal.

Courtois saved us two points vs United, in fact won us the game vs Arsenal (the Flamini back heel was a lot harder than it looked it was his world class positioning that made  the save look easy), it would have also been an e en bigger massacre vs City if it wasn't for him, let's also not forget the Liverpool semi final last season, he and only he was the reason we got to the final.

De Gea is the most over rated keeper around, yes he makes great saves (which a lot like Jason said are easy shots he makes looks hard), but he isn't as good as the media make him out to be, also making numerous saves per game isn't nesseserely the sign of a great/top level keeper, Shay Given and Carlo Cudicini for example.

The true top keeper is one who can play behind a good/great defence and do what needs to be done (this where Cudicini lost his place to Cech, he quite frankly didn't look half as good only having to deal with a few actions per game as opposed to when he was regularly called upon), that will be a true test for De Gea when he is in that position.

He is very good yes, but the hard on the media and the population have for him is strange to say the least.

The fact that people call Courtois overrated and DDG the best goalkeeper in the world just shows how retarded the average football fan is.

Like it has been said before. DDG makes the most easy balls look like very hard saves. And Courtois makes the most difficult balls look like the easiest save ever.

Sad for humanity that people will always prefer the first.

[MCM4PR3Z 411]

People also vote for Trump, so it's normal that the same people call Courtois overrated and DDG the best in the world.

But still, it's sad for humanity.

Hmm, after his last few comments, chances are he'll be gone this summer. There are only three clubs able to buy him (Bayern has no need of him and they'll never sell him to a PL rival) and I can't see him going to PSG. I think he'd prefer going back to Atletico, but that's not an option budgetwise. It's either Barca or Real, but I still think he'll eventually stay.

Are you serious? What would make you feel safe, a brick wall?

If we sell Courtois, let's bring Cech back

That he wants to go to a "Winning team" or something like that. Don't know the source or whether it was bullshit or not.

If United managed to keep De Gea we should have no problems holding onto Courtois, 'if' he does want away that is.

Didn't they keep him only because Real Madrid came in with a laughable bid? I think if they'd have come in with a realistic amount De Gea would've gone. 

I think Courtois is most likely to leave out of any of our top players.
