But.. If he's as good as they're saying then maybe a healthy competition will start. Problem is goal keepers' competing usually leads to the other not being content on the bench, thus, leaving.

Why would we use a player from our reserves when we can sign a new one? :eyebrows:

Acoording to Spanish media Atletico Madrid is still in talks with Genk about Courtois, they see him as a good replacement for De Gea.

To be honest, they're more likely to land him. They can promise him 1st team football, don't think we can (no matter how many Cech replacement claims we make)

We'll have Asenjo from Atletico then.

Krc Genk will have a transfer stop between 15/7 and 27/8. The 15th is the draw for the CL and the 27th is the second leg of the CL qualifying round. Between those dates theire will be no incoming or outgoing transfers the board announced today. All offers between those dates will get On Hold..

Imagine if three of our signings are Scott Dann, Theo Walcott and a backup keeper. And to think I was excited about this transfer window.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

^LOL have some faith.

I don't understand where all the excitement has gone?! Be patient, AVB understandably wants to look at the squad he has.

What do you think about Courtois, good? Could he be second after Petr or should he be out for loan?

[Hamilton 2,120]

I guess he could be second after Cech, but he's still young, it's better that he plays to get even better, so a loan back to Genk would be a good deal for both clubs i guess. Genk keep theire star and some nice money, Chelsea got a huge prospect goalie under his wings. His style has been compared with that of Van der Sar a lot of times, but still he has to confirm his nice debut year at Genk last year..

[Hamilton 2,120]

The latest that i read today is that director Degraen went to London last week to talk about Courtois, it is believed that Cfc made a new offer. Genk wants at least €8M for theire goalie. Courtois is currently rejecting a new contract at Genk, the current one expires in 2014. Tuesday the player and the board will meet..

Atletico Madrid and Tottenham are mentioned as other clubs interested..

[J.F. 1,484]

Apparently he is going to be at Chelsea this week. His father says we have agreed a deal with Genk with only personal terms to be finalised.
