Kezza 1,965 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Well Courtois' name could be 'Arseface' for all I care, but I'd still reckon he'd still sell more shirts than both of them...Yeah with arseface on the back who wouldn't buy the shirt?

OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Lol we should of gave them 3 million plus Hilario plus Turnbull tbh. Then rotate him with Cech/use him in cup games/Europa League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanSnake 1,211 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 WOULD be decent back up over Hilarious and Turnball-into-own-net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, a young player who goes somewhere he knows he won't play because he gets a nice contract, it isn't really what you want to see. You want your players to want to play. .

cujo101 75 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Just get Courtois back this summer and focus on the real gaps in the team, I say :-)Agreed. Craig Gordon on a free could still do a job - far better than the two back-ups we have at the moment. Impressed by Butland's desire for 1st team football.

AndersonBLUE 819 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Why the fuck would they want Butland, seriously, just bring back courtois in the summer if they want a GK or just recall him now? Can't believe we are actually looking to buy a GK when we fucking need at least 1 midfielder. Chelsea are baffling at times. Previous buys were good though.

Can't believe we are actually looking to buy a GK when we fucking need at least 1 midfielder. Chelsea are baffling at times. Previous buys were good though.We need a back-up keeper if Courtois is going on loan to an English club next season and at £3 million he's a steal. Putting a bid in for him doesn't mean we can't bid for other players too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 All this Butland talk makes me doubt Cech's fitness. The club already confirmed in the start of the season that Cech is due to undergo a surgery next summer and that he was constantly in a lot of pain. Now in January he has missed a bunch of games because of injuries and was perhaps rushed back as we had Arsenal coming up and now he seems to be injured again. With the club lining up a January bid for a goalkeeper I can't help but wonder if there's something they're not telling us about Cech's injuries.

With the club lining up a January bid for a goalkeeper I can't help but wonder if there's something they're not telling us about Cech's injuries.I very, very much agree with this analysis. Even Courtois himself has hinted on Cech' fitness/injuries apparantly. So, if you see smoke, you smell a burn and hear the firebrigade .... It's probable somthing is burning. There is simply no other explanation besides 'the board consists of utter morons' argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
