What's new

Thibaut Courtois

I don't buy this family stuff personally. It may or may not be true but it is also very likely an image damage limitation narritive being put out there.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's most likely a duck!

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.

Some people can’t see beyond their own bias. I am no board sympathiser, that much is clear from my posts in the past, but as you say this is 100% not their fault. Courtois has f***ed us here and it’s in my opinion a despicable thing to do to a club that’s developed you the way we have with him. I’d say that whether it was a city/Arsenal player as well.

What will be the boards fault is if we head in to the season with Caballero as our no.1 it might be painful to pay it but we need to activate someone of Oblaks quality release clause or we are in serious trouble this season.

The Daily Express is just now reporting that Chelsea have "sealed a deal" to sign Kepa Arrizabalag?a ?of Athletico Bilbao. £72m release clause.

If it were another paper I might be happy.

Let's see. If it's true I am happy as the guy is meant to be very good,and he's only 23.

We'd be mad to be a mere staging post for Real's anointed Modric successor, we should only be bringing in Kovacic if there's an option to make the move permanent next year.

He was an essential player of both PL and a La Liga titles, i don't need to remember the specific games he was outstanding to realize this, just like i didn't for Cech too. He was also amazing against us in that Atletico tie.

My opinion on Courtois is that he is a steady keeper but not a match winning game changing keeper. We may we'll miss him when he's gone but if we sold cech at 26 then that would of been a disaster, we will get over Courtois departure.

 
its despicable the way hes fashioned his move to RM by not showing up, but if a player feels its the only way out then hes going to do this.

hes not the first and wont be the last , IF CFC get Kovacic on loan & 1/2 the money to buy Keepa from Tibo's sale I  say the club has done good business and why be so upset at Tibo, if I got my dream job offer and my employer tries to stop me after I'd dropped loads of hints as to my wanting out, theoretically giving my employer time to find a replacement I'd go on strike too !!

Contracts exist for a reason

 
Sign kovacic on loan, sign kepa. 

Get Courtois in "Hey d**khead, we've sorted your move out, your going to Luton on loan, it's 40 miles that way now f**k off." 

 
My reaction to Thibaut leaving

seems we've got a keeper called kepa - should be easy to remember

bye bye postman pat - you were ok but not the greatest, you'll not be missed

 
He is not our player anymore for me. No problem that he wants to leave, I can respect that, but missing trainings and ignore the manager it's something different.

Wish him the best everywhere he will play, He had good moments with us, but also some bad. Still one of the best goalkeepers in the world. 

 
This is simple.............don’t let him leave play Willy as No1 and let him see what bench life is like.  We have made him as a keeper and he treats us like s**t!  I could just see what my boss would say if I didn’t turn up to work for 2 days without calling in!

 
If he does somehow stay I hope he doesn't play another game for the club, what a total w**ker, he done this for his old club when he signed for us I believe, I've just read something on twitter about it. So he has a history of this sort of behaviour.

It's crazy how Hazard is a much better player and doesn't behave or conduct himself in this way at all, I'm so glad he doesn't, because Courtois is overrated as a goalkeeper anyway and this has been a popular opinion on this forum for some time, it's not bitterness. 

 
Tempting as it is to Malouda him, it wouldn’t do us any favours long term. Let’s just get rid, and go into the season with a positive only atmosphere. Him and Hazard are mates, and we don’t need anything or anyone upsetting Eden.
