What's new

Thibaut Courtois

I'm with you Argo, terrible timing and could well leave us in a mess between the sticks this season. But at the end of the day Courtois is a person first and foremost and he'll do everything he can that's best for him and his family - from signing a better and bigger contract at one club and then breaking that contract when it suits. Who hand on heart wouldn't do the same if they were lucky and talented enough to work in the sports and entertainment industry?

When Real Madrid come knocking it turns the head of just about every player out there.

 
He might not be the sharpest around the Bridge, but no reason to diss the guy from all Places. We all knew for a very very long time he wanted out...........diss the board for closing their eyes, not Tibo. 2 days left and we are in a mess once Again. Should have sold him right at the end of WC, at the latest. We once Again closed our eyes, choosed not to act and this is the result.

 
Sounds like there's going to be a big push to get Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Bilbao.

 
Have you all come to terms yet that Caballero is our #1 GK this season? I did months ago and I must say, I feel in peace during this whole mess. 

This mess of a train has been without brakes for the past year and now its come to its final destination. The board did nothing to help themselves. Pure laziness, incompetence and flat out failing to take responsibility.  

Some are in for a rude awakening this season. I still fully believe we will be in 6-8th place at end of season. At best maybe 5th.

If the board allows Caballero to be our #1 GK this season, then I must say that they deserve all the opprobrium they will receive, especially in light of Caballero's disastrous (and undeserved) stint as #1 GK during the WC.

Offered to make him the highest paid keeper in the world and Courtois was in the media saying he's happy to stay at chelsea if we make him the right offer. Courtois led the board on here. 

 
Can't help but think he has been more trouble than he's been worth, You get absolute gems such as Cudicini and Cech followed up with this absolute weasel who doesnt have an iota of respect for his employer who have aided him greatly within his career to put him in a position where is is being pursued by one of the biggest clubs in the world.

I`m not sure what the club are meant to have done wrong here. They have been negotiations for a while now, Courtois has indicated he would sign, Chelsea offer him a huge contract, he shafts us and yet the club are the  ones being slagged of by some. Its so weird.

Can't we put carlo in goal for this coming season, he should be better than willy really lol

Would argue only De Gea is better.
Lloris has been poor for a while.
Cech is done.
Do Liverpool even have a number 1?
Too early to make a call on Ederson as he's had f* all to do all season. Made some good saves against us though.

Well, Courtois will struggle to be in my top 5
 
Just get rid of him. He has not covered himself in glory in this situation. We are not holding him hostage, we offered him a very large contract, and after stringing Chelsea along he spat in our faces and threw his dummy out of his pram and started screaming.

As for Real Madrid, Courtois is not even their first choice, Kepa was. Good luck to Courtois, but he should remember which club held him in the highest regard. You reap what you sow. I certainly won't miss him, he is too much trouble

My only criticism of the club would have been not getting it resolved sooner, one way or the other.

I think we should have given Courtois an ultimatum, and had he not signed then replaced him at the start of the summer. 

We (seemingly) have allowed ourselves to be backed into a corner, with Courtois pulling all the strings.

Weren't you saying Conte was staying al' summer? 

 
He has been moaning about not being close enough to his family for AGEEESSS. Months and months ago. The club should have sat him down before the WC and asked him if he wanted to stay or leave.

But no, naturally it's 2 days before the window closes and we are scrambling around to try and find a replacement, whilst he goes AWOL.
