Are you really sure? You can’t just bench a 3x champions league goalkeeper without just cause,  I think he didn’t think this through. If he was a Spanish player it would have been different; Modric is on the bench for Isco, Varane has also been benched for another Spanish player. He is essentially a Perez signing, and in a majority Spanish dressing room led by Ramos I can’t see him getting games anything soon. Bigger problem is unless Kiko Casilla  a Spanish player is sold before the window closes in a few days time, he could find himself out of the match day squad if he drops a clanger in Copa del Rey games

It's his cunning plan to be paid and spend more time with his kids.

I’m glad he’s now realised he’s not the world’s best goalkeeper.

Well, Navas made some good saves last Saturday so there's no reason for Lopetegui to bench him and start Courtois. I'm glad he is still seeing the matches from the dugout.

 
Come on ladies, he's  gone now, why are we even bitching about him?

In the words of someone, "Leave it, Darren, 'E ain't worth it".

 
I think once the dust has settled I will remember Courtois as a player whose place in the Chelsea pantheon is roughly on the level of Arjen Robben: a young player on the cusp of world-class who, after a quite excellent contribution over a couple of years (and a near-identical trophy haul), chose to leave us for bigger things. 

In the meantime I am more than happy to laugh at any and all misfortune that he and Real Madrid suffer. 

 
I remember when Cech went to Arsenal someone here very eloquently said "I wish him all the individual accolades of DeGea but all the team accolades DeGea has received too" or something to that effect.

I'd be more than amused if from this point forward Courtois gets all the personal and team accolades of Karius.

I agree we shouldn't be bitter over him..... but have a laugh at a bloke who acted unethically to get away from a top tier club that treated him very well just to land on the bench of another club?  Don't mind if I do hahahahahahhahahah

 
in the goal tonight. didn't stood a chance with that penalty shot

 
Not sure why we are keeping his specific subject slot open anywhere in this forum...he played us, he left us, he is the past...delete.

 
because some of us like to keep on moaning when our girlfriends leave us

Because schadenfreude is fun.....

 
Well they ought to be when pretty much every top player wants to play for them. Like it or not, most PL sides feed off the scraps of the giant Spanish clubs. Saying all that, Tibo needs to stop talking about his old club and enjoy his new one.
