What's new

Thibaut Courtois

If he so desperately wanted to be near his family for so long why no transfer requests, why not make a financial sacrifice ? 

The way he has acted has left a bad taste, constant gobsh*tery when on international duty, not turning up to training, resorting to emotional blackmail. There's ways to do things, his way was to totally disrespect a club that has given him incredible opportunities and bent over backwards for him. f**k him.

Righto...well, if you want to waste your emotions on him that's a matter for you - he's always been cagey since day dot but he was a professional on the paddock. Here's the thing - not every footballer who plays for us is always going to be 'model' of the paddock. Indeed that gets rarer & rarer these days so why the angst exactly?

 
Finally gone, been pushing for the move for 2-3 seasons now, just can't see him being focused even if we keep him and allow him to walk free next season. In the end, the deal wasn't too bad for us, and at least he's not going for a rival club.

 
hehe...been called a lot of things in my time but 'nice'...that's new & gave me a chuckle so thx mate: as for the perception these days that the 'loyalty' of professionals must, in some imagined way, equate with the 'loyalty' of supporters....crikey....

 
The annoyance at Courtois in here is the same that Athletic fans have for Kepa, with the difference that he has given them 80m € and we get 35m GBP... and the opportunity to develop Kovacic for Real Madrid.

My Biggest concern now is that in consecutive seasons we've had players not return for the new season and have been successful in getting there preferred move, this sets a very dangerous precedent. Like it or not but this is a failure on the part of Chelsea in allowing such a situation to arise, the situations should've been anticipated and possibly resolved before the players took matters into there own hands.

I disagree, we got great deals for both players. All it shows is that we'll sell if someone meets our valuation.

hey mate - so be salty - matter for you. As for his reasons - well his wife is spanish isn't she & lives in Madrid....writing has been on the wall for a couple of years hasn't it? So why the angst exactly?

Ex-wife and kids. The same ex-wife and kids he's been without for 4 years and he would have been without for longer when he told the press he was thinking about signing a new contract with us and would have been happy to stay here for longer. But no, now it's all about the kids.  :slap_face:

 
^ hehe...heya punch...22 or is it now 23, and w/o kids...hehe. I imagine he's also sick of England with brexiteer idiots like you and of course much nicer climate in Spain - but hey, always good to see you that you have an opinion.....

 
With hindsight and now that I've calmed down after my little knee jerk tirade (possibly involving the eloquent use of the word c**t)... by going AWOL perhaps he just didn't want to get injured and compromise his move to Real Madrid, kinda makes sense in a "but he's still a c**t" kinda way.

I said before that I wouldn't begrudge him a move to RM because of his kid (kids?) so see no reason to label him a "judas" etc and wish him all the best for the future.

Totally uncalled for.

 
And here he is signing his contract. Maybe time to move this thread, eh Mods?

You know, after several years of reading your posts, i'm starting to think you might have a dislike of Brexit. It's subtle, I;m not sure you're even aware of it coming through, but its defintely there.
