Thibaut Courtois loaned to Atletico

[Blue Armour 4,287]

'Set' for Athletico

Good. He can see more first-team action...

[EskWeston 696]

Would have prefered to keep him around as back up rather than turnbull or Hilario to be honest. We don't seem able of having young players as squad players giving them the chance to fight for a starting spot.... However Atletico will be a good loan for him. We have some good young keepers around on loan Taylor, Delac, Walker and Blackman going away with the first team on tour.....

"Chelsea new boy Thibaut Courtois will fly out to Spain to finalise a loan move to Atletico Madrid."

Indeed, the player him self confirmed to our local tv station that he had a flight tonight and that will be presented at Atletico tommorow

I presume there is a minimum of appearances in the contract otherwise we wouldn't have loaned him. But don't Atletico trust Asenjo at all?

[LondonPride1905 236]

Asenjo is at Malaga CF.

[SeB 1,281]

So he isn't gonna be joining Chelsea on tour ?!

[Kostas 1,468]

Asenjo is at Malaga CF.

That was a loan, which he returned from.

So he isn't gonna be joining Chelsea on tour ?!

No. Andre Villas-Boas said he won't.

The thing with kids is you can never be sure, about the sustained level of performances. That is why they had both of them(Asenjo and De Gea) for 2009-10. Only when De Gea emerged as the sure shot replacement for Roberto (Franco in the long term), did they loan out Asenjo. They did the same two GK module with Franco and Coupet.

He is in Madrid atm, going to have a medical in a few hours. Loan move imminent today, 1 year deal being rumoured.

[Kostas 1,468]

Announced on the official Atletico Madrid website [link]. A season long loan.

[zolayes 14,489]

when are we going to get something from Hamburg ,,Vitesse or Atletico in return?? or from English clubs we are loaning out players to.???

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Can we have Asenjo please? We'll give you Kalou and Hilario as well!

[Kostas 1,468]

They pay their wages and develop our players?

14.06 Lovely stuff regarding the Courtois loan deal. Atletico have confirmed the agreement, yet, remember, Chelsea have not even as yet officially confirmed the capture of Courtois on a permanent deal. Just lovely.

14.04 DONE DEAL: Goalkeeper Thibaud Courtois has joined Atletico Madrid on loan from Chelsea for the forthcoming season.

Hopefully he can suceed de Gea and be the no1 there.

But i am asking myself, we are loaning a player to A. Madrid, while all this time they did not wanted to do business with us for Aguero....

[Madmax 9,219]

Can we stick to this thread for the loan move please? Thank you.
