Thibaut Courtois loaned to Atletico

[Guest justin_3d]

1. You have no way of being sure yet, mate.

2. True

3. Roman had wanted Torres much before Carlo even came to Chelsea.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying we require Aguero. I'm not sure how he fits into AvB's 4-3-3 anyway. His wages is another problem altogether. What I'm merely saying is, if it indeed came down to Roman wanting him, he's not going to pay attention to whether we need him.

Yeah but to add to that, i remember our board said they will not enter a bidding war.

So Roman will not enter into a bidding war with City.

Welcome to Chelsea Thibaut Courtois.:blue scalf:

looks a good keeper from what i`ve seen of him..and hasn`t long turned 19. a bright future ahead.

[Guest justin_3d]

Should gift-wrap Kalou too while we're at it .

They can have for free Bosingwa while we are at it!

But honestly if this is true, then i will believe the hype of Chelsea doing some kind of deal for Aguero.

The good news is that he realizes that there is no way to replace Cech immediately. Have yet to work before becoming # 1. I guess it will go to PSV for good relations with them

Who cares if they need a striker, that's their problem.

Anelka and Kalou are a bit useless, Drogba is almost finished. Aguero would be great for that right side.

This.

Villas-Boas said yesterday he does not really focus on exact formations because everyone plays in such a way that they drift around. No set, fixed positions. Aguero would fit perfectly well with this, it's not like he's going to be told to stay there for the entire game. Of course he'll be encouraged to score goals, thus getting into such positions. It's not an exact science just because he's a striker, he's incapable of starting wide.

True but it doesn't/wouldn't make sense. If you want a winger, buy a winger.

Aguero would be perfect, Kalou is mowt more than a (effective) squad player, Drogba dont have that long left, Anelka will be leaving i think and Malouda has well been Malouda.

He is the creative spark we have been lacking, could u imagine Andre returning to london in a press confrence with Aguero and Modric? yes please

Yeah that's a good point, it really comes down to a specific system he plans to produce. It may null a need for a proper winger, in exchange for inside forwards.

The very fact that he won't be joining us in Asia, even if he completes the transfer on time is an indication that we have lined up a loan move for him.

Piet De Visser confirmed in Belgian media that he will be loaned out..

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I was already presented to the players, Lampard and Terry immediately talked to me, and Drogba said he saw on TV how I celebrated the title with Genk, and goalkeeper Petr Cech and I exchanged a few words.

Good to hear.

'Set' for Athletico

[Wilson 358]

Good news. We are definately doing the right thing with this kid.

[J.F. 1,484]

Piet De Visser confirmed in Belgian media that he will be loaned out..

Atletico Madrid.

[zolayes 14,489]

this buying then loaning out at once drives me crazy ...and why to Madrid ,,,if we must loan him out ,,why not in England

[Guest justin_3d]

'Set' for Athletico

This sounds good.

If he is going to A. Madrid then we might be doing some more business with them.

[epicsarah-ous 329]

Hope the wishful thinking bout aguero is true but it probably wont be lol but rather good to hear of the loan move. should hopefully give asenjo stiff competition and hopefully this will work out so we can get well if he already is someone better than turnbull

[TomCFC 356]

Great news - he can get first team experience with Athletico before replacing Cech in a few years. He's only a year younger than his predecessor De Gea, who has moved to United, which is interesting.
