Petr Cech

[The only place to be 11,313]

Petr Cech insists he is staying at Chelsea and is ready to fight for the No.1 spot in Jose Mourinho's starting XI. (Skysports)

Courtois tried to get an easy ride with the whole its unhealthy to have 2 top keepers in a team talk......what a shame Cech is a warrior.

Cech is a veteran. He knows exactly what to say and he could be sat in front of a contract with PSG, pen in his hand and he would know that's the right thing to say.

Not sure why you're having a go at Courtois. The guy has worked his bollocks off and exceeded every expectation to the point he has demonstrated he is the form young keeper in Europe right now, behind only Neuer.

Lollichon is an innovator. He might not be well known with fans but he's famous all over the world when it comes to the coaching department . He's held a number of workshops where he talks about his methods and so on. We really shouldn't lose him, no matter how good Silvinio is.

[OneMoSalah 8,776]

Lollichon is an exceptional goalkeeping coach, he must be one of the best in the business. Just look at how Cech went from a young guy to one of the world's most consistent and best goalkeepers from when he first signed and even now he still is up there and definitely was the best GK in the PL last year.

Players improve under excellent coaches. Sure Cech was a talented goalkeeper but you can't feel he hasn't been helped to improve his reflexes, decision making, handling and distribution as well by Lollichon with his excellent and unique goalkeeper training. Its hard to find coaches and staff that are up there with the best so even if we lose Cech we must keep Lollichon, Courtois could get even better under his guidance.

They have similar statistics but the one big difference in their abilities is that aerially Cech looks weak whereas Courtois looks strong and imposing.

This sounds like Cech might be sold:

Mourinho said: "Petr is ready to fight for his position but Thibaut is the best young goalkeeper in the world, no doubts about that.

"They will fight and for me it’s a good problem to have to make a decision.

"We are a club that wants to be strong and wants to have a real possibility of competing for trophies and we want competition for places.

"But I know that Mark Schwarzer is a very good keeper, very stable and a good man, completely ready to be our second goalkeeper like he was last season and to give positive performances if we need him to play.

"So if he’s our second goalkeeper, we will feel very safe with him."

Cech + Ramires/cash for Cavani?

"Petr is ready to fight for his position but Thibaut is the best young goalkeeper in the world, no doubts about that," Mourinho is quoted as saying by the English media.

"They will fight and for me it's a good problem to have to make a decision.

"We are a club that wants to be strong and wants to have a real possibility of competing for trophies and we want competition for places.

"But I know that Mark Schwarzer is a very good keeper, very stable and a good man, completely ready to be our second goalkeeper like he was last season and to give positive performances if we need him to play.

"So if he's our second goalkeeper, we will feel very safe with him."

Be interesting to see how this one pans out.

Let Cech go, then a few years bring him back to be our new Mark Schwarzer, when he's at that level he won't mind being our #2 and will retire him and possibly even work in the club after he retires from playing.

Best plan imo.

[Beepu 1,714]

It will be sad to see him go, but he deserves playing time and I feel Courtois is our future. What a great professional and simply a good guy off the pitch, a true Chelsea legend.

Lopez Will Join If Cech will Leave.

'Other' reports didn't mention our interest in Lopez and that clubs like Napoli and Monaco want him...

I think the best and most human thing to do is to let Cech go. It wouldnt be fair to neither him or Thibaout to keep Cech.

Hell, our current goalkeeper situation is ten times better than our striker one

[Jase 43,479]

The way some of people are saying we should let Cech go is as if we're keeping him hostage.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Cech is staying. Could not see any indication he want to leave until now. He will only leave if he is forced to.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Personally I can see Pete sticking around until January before moving. He has nothing to prove but everything to lose, it would seem, without doing all that much wrong.

Some people think Cech has lost his presence in the box, so this stat will surprise some people: His catch success last season was 100%.

Frank Lampard UK @FrankLampardUK · 20 h

Courtois' catch success last season was 96%.

Frank Lampard UK @FrankLampardUK · 20 h

Cech conceded a goal every 128 minutes, Courtois conceded every 139 minutes.

Frank Lampard UK @FrankLampardUK · 20 h

Courtois made 1.9 saves per game, Cech 2.4.

Frank Lampard UK @FrankLampardUK · 20 h

And finally, Cech's save percentage was 77%, Courtois' was 74%.

For me there's no easy answer to this situation unfortunately Cech has been a true hero to the club and an all around great guy no matter how you slice it losing him will be devastating to me

A lot of people will say Drogba this and Drogba that but Cech was our true hero in that Champions League campaign that we won, without him we would have been buried and I don't personally think he has loss his stuff just yet.
