termninja 5,290 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Dunno what to make of it...could be true could be fake, I can't know for sure...whatever it is, I'm very happy we have Courtois ready to step in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluephoenix 1,131 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I'm not sure what's scarier: the way those reporters can twist a player's words, or the fact that people actually believe that bullshit!true ! I highly doubt if any of that is true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak 22 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Cech still has a few good years left in him. He probably won't play until 40 due to injuries...but then again, I doubt the likes of Buffon; Julio Cesar & Casillas (similar age to Cech and all of them are top-notch keepers) will be able to play until 40.Hopefully Courtois continues his development at Atletico Madrid..then next season, he'll be our #2 keeper..and he'll be ready to fill-in for Cech in Carling Cup; Fa Cup & some EPL/UCL matches.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Has Courtois even met Christophe Lollichon? He was wheeled out to Atleti immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Courtois is hoping rather than expecting. He just wants to play because he knows he has no chance being the Number 1 here for about 10 years, poor lad. He should keep his opinions to himself and not leak out these stories.

warnie_666 1,081 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Has Courtois even met Christophe Lollichon? He was wheeled out to Atleti immediately.I am sure being the GK coach he does converse with the prospects we are looking to bring in. And talking on Phone or video conferencing should be enough to persuade him.I am sure, Lollichon used that (Cech's crock excuse) as a bait to secure Courtouis's transfer. But my word, what a transfer he has been so far. Only 19 and already has more clean sheets than Cech playing for a mid table team.He has a great future ahead. 2 seasons at Atl. Madrid and 1 season in the League and 4th and 5th season as the second GK at Chelsea. 6th season replace Cech as Chelsea no.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I'd sooner put Drogba in goal than Turnbull and Hilario In fairness both have been solid when played this season, yet neither offer me the same confidence you get when you see 'PETR CECH' on the teamsheet.

You're being too harsh on him methinks Turnbull on the other hand... although he was good in the CC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hilario is a good shot-stopper but he is as good at catching crosses as Brian Blessed is at whispering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,536 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 You do get that feeling of 'oh noooo'when you do see it.And every time Hilaro goes to get the ball think eeeeeek!!! Agree both have been soild but so prone to wandering off crazy moments...saying that Cech's done that a few times this season but still feel confident even when he half way down the pitch..daft but Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
