There's always the chance that Courtois does a WWF-style move in the 90th minute of the second leg. Score is 0-0, extra time is looming, Torres takes a shot from 12 yards which eventually reaches Cour

He nailed that penalty like it was De Bruyne's bird.

When I rewatched the save of the 1v1 I noticed he seems to get low to the ground so quickly, and I mean this in a good way Just watch Scznenzyzne-thingy against Naismith yesterday When he gets in t

It will be intreging to see how the next couple of years pan out for Courtois. He won't just walse in and take Cech's place, the reason Petr himself did that to Cudicini is because even then he was on another level to the Italian. The romantics will try and claim Carlo was on par but in reality wasn't even close.

Spanish media reporting that Courtois is set to stay for another year on loan at Atletico Madrid but the deal will only be confirmed once he's signed a contract extension at Chelsea. Would definitely be the ideal scenario here, would allow him to stay there and play in the Champions League but would also be good for us if we got him tied up until 2018. Him staying at Atletico without signing a new contract would be bad because after next season he'd only have two years left in his Chelsea contract and he could easily start making noises about moving elsewhere and there wouldn't be much we could do but an extension would be a sign that both parties are still very much on board with the plan. Hope it's confirmed soon.

Wouldn't be the worst thing to see Courtois on loan in the PL next season.

That way he'd be more ready for PL style of play...

There's still time for that if he indeed does sign an extension before being loaned back to Atletico. Another year in Madrid to gain vital CL experience and then the 14/15 season on loan at a Premier League club to get used to the PL as well as living in England. After that either an extension to the previous loan or a return to Chelsea with him and Cech both playing their fair shares of games and then in 2016 Courtois should finally take over as the number one keeper. If Thibaut signs the new contract at Chelsea, he pretty much accepts a career plan like this so there shouldn't be a need to rush things unless Cech suffers serious injuries or his form takes a massive dip.

If he keeps his nets clean for 17 minutes Wednesday vs Celta de Vigo he'll get the record for most minutes unbeaten in away games, the second record he'd take from Abel Resino.

3rd record? He already has the most consecutive minutes at home unbeaten, and the most clean sheets in one season.

Yep, 19 clean sheets, is just amazing for that guy with that crappy defense.

I honestly don't think we will ever see him play for us.

I kinda have the same feeling, there is no basis to it but I just feel that he won't play for us.

If reports are true that there is a contract extension then I don't see how he doesn't play for us.

He's a young, classy goalkeeper....even if he signs an extension, how long would he want to play second fiddle to Petr Cech?

Cause Cech isn't exactly showing signs of ageing and he's still one of the best goalies in Europe...

The question is: does Courtois want to go on loan spells for another 2 seasons or would he rather go to another top club and establish himself as a #1 GK right now!

(Personally I want Courtois to be our GK for the next decade....but until he plays his first game for Chelsea, there's always that fear..he'll move on..)

He is already at a top club though. Atleitco won the Europa + Super Cup and will play Champions League football next season. Where else is there for him to go? Utd have a keeper. Juventus have a keeper. Madrid have a keeper. Bayern have a keeper. What other top clubs are desperate for a keeper besides maybe Barcelona?

He should be thankful that Chelsea took him from a small club in Beligum and loaned him to a top club where he wins stuff and will play Champions League football. He is the Belgium number 1. He hasn't played a single game for us but Chelsea has already done massive things for his career. This idea that we're somehow holding him back is fucking ludicrous. If he has any decency he will have faith in the club, sign an extension and wait his turn because Cech is a legend and deserves to see out his contract at the very least.

Come on, he is a goalkeeper, does not really matter, where he plays, as long as it is a top league.

1 year more at Atletico and contract extension with us would be a great deal.
