No quotes in that article, nothing. Just "friends claim". As bad as tabloid journalism, I'm disappointed with the Telegraph.

No one will know until the Burnley game.

Cech will be in goal for burnley

Hahahahaha

Exciting.

Haha it's just a hunch.. Nothing more to be honest. Think Jose has made too many wholesale changes this summer to risk any dressing room unrest. Big move to drop Cech IMO

Cech will start as he has always been Jose's no 1 and is one of his 'boys'.

If he doesn't then I'd imagine he will be sold but can't see it.

Definetly courtois, anyone remember away to stoke when he came out and went back in confused the defense and crouch went on and had a tap in. If that was courtois he catches them every day of the week. Be sad to see Cech go but only if it's for the right money.

I don't think we can really draw any sort of conclusion from that; it's easy to inflate a goalkeeper's ability via highlight videos:

You're right of course, those videos can be misleading. But at least they show us that Courtois' best saves were a bit better than Cech's. That's if they included all the good ones of course.

I'd be very suprised if Courtois has ever made a save like Cech did against Carroll in the FA cup final a few seasons ago.

Actually he made a few very impressive saves against us in the CL semi final, which were just as important. Not that I'm happy about it.

No I agree he's a class keeper and last season he was brilliant..more so then Cech IMO.

However Cech can make saves that no other keeper can make just like that Carroll one.

I'd say that is courtois speciality. He makes saves you wouldn't expect anyone to make. Is he as consistent as cech? I think so but let's find out

Cech has been an awesome goalkeeper for the past decade but surely he knows that Courtois is the future of the club. This reminds me of the time when Cech first came to Chelsea and Carlo Cudicini was the established goalkeeper with us for about three or four years until Cech took his spot straight away from 2004. Cech should be well aware that the same thing is going to happen inevitably unless Courtois unexpectedly leaves which I hope doesn't happen at all.

I've always admired Petr for his dedication for the club but I wouldn't be against selling him either. He's been a great goalkeeper for many years and he's still a great keeper in whom many clubs would go straight after but it is time that Courtois takes the number one mantle now. I just can't see both Cech and Courtois wanting to warm the bench considering both goalkeepers are too good for the bench, so this idea of both of them being at Chelsea is unsustainable in my view. 

Also Schwarzer is the perfect back-up to either goalkeeper. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out in the next few weeks. It needs to be resolved before the transfer window concludes one way or another.
