Petr Cech

[Milan 17,955]

PS: Cech is having an incredible game for the NT against Italy atm. Czech leading 1-0 at HT.

To be fair, he always, always has an incredible game for us, which is no wonder given his qualities and qualities of the rest of the team. He just can't save everything, really.

He just made a mistake and gifted Italy the equalizer

Karma. The thing is, he won't get the stick after the game, given all the performances he has put in.

well that certainly made my day

Not necessarily. Coutrois can have the FA and league cup matches which should be about matches plus he can fill in if Cech get injured or needs resting.

Just like it would be crazy to let Courtois go, it would be equally insane to get rid of the best keeper in the world atm.

But the problem is, Courtois is fully established as one of the best keepers around at 21 and on current form is the best keeper in Spain, bringing him back to play what would effectively be the Cudicini (of Mourinho's last spell) role is not an option now, neither is a loan to a midtable PL club, which was initially the plan.

[Tomo 21,751]

Yeah, why would a keeper like Courtois who is wanted by the likes of Barca and some of the other best sides in the world want to come back and play FA/League Cup matches? He's good enough to be the #1 at any club in any league.

Exactly, its beats logic how some think he will return to be a rotation keeper, next summer is decision time, we can't make him second choice and gradually bring him in, we certainly can't loan him in the PL. Jose has got a horrible but also very nice decision to make next summer.

Cech vs Courtois is a no brainer imo. The former has been nothing short of amazing for us, but at the same time we can't lose a goalie who can be our number 1 for the next decade, and then some.

I dont think Cech will leave next season, but the year after, when Courtois has had a year to settle.

He won't have a guaranteed start anywhere he goes. Even at Athletico he had to fight for his spot with Asenjo.

I never said any goalie has guaranteed spot. Courtois is almost there though. The most talented goalie around, these days. He won´t join a team just to sit on the bench. According to you, Courtois could play in FA or the other meaningless competitions & share with Cech, I read. Now, that was the funniest piece of work I have read here in a long time.

Solving the Cech-Coirtois puzzle might make the biggest headings next summer window

You'd be respected around here - and have your own opinions acknowledged - if you dropped the pretentious bullshit in thinking your point of view is superior to that of anyone else. Completely uncalled for to call someone's opinion "the funniest piece of work" you've read on the forums - why can't you just do what normal people do and say "sorry, I disagree" - you can then put your point across without looking like an infantile, arrogant twat.

cech is the best GK in the world as of this moment. we cant just chuck him out to fenebrache, galatasaray or Trabzonspor. as choulo said, thibaut will have to be the one who ll have to sacrifice first team football for a year, play fa, carling , ucl group stage games and then steadily be made the first GK.

I think you're right, tbh. Anyone who thinks Courtois will be immediately thrown in as the number 1 is under-rating Cech and then over-rating the young Belgian. He's good, but not world-class; not yet. He definitely will be an incredible player for us in the future. He already is one of the world's top ten goalkeepers. But I think people are getting over-excited when they say he is better than Cech. For my money, only Neuer is on-par with Petr - and with Courtois we're doing the same thing we did with Kakuta and McEachran in thinking he's the best thing since sliced bread. The difference is that Thibaut will be an incredible player. You could argue he already is; however people need to step back and think a little more rationally.

There is a chance he will be promoted to number one next season; because Mourinho will have an issue of having the world's best goalkeeper (Cech) for potentially another 3-4 years, or having someone who can become the world's best goalkeeper and could be our number one for the next ten years. That would be the only reason why Courtois would be favoured, in my opinion; not because he is a better goalkeeper technically. Because, IMO, he isn't. But he can - and probably will - overtake Cech over the next 24 months or so.

There is no such a thing as arrogant twat. Try harder. I value my opinion whether someone likes it or not. After all, if you read the other opinions, exactly the same.

Two of them can not play at Chelsea. Whom to move is my question ? To me, Cech should go, Courtois is the future, nothing more, nothing else.
