Thibaut Courtois

He needs to show some humility. I can name easily 6-7 better goalkeepers than him and he's acting like he is top 3. Classy keeper, no doubt about that, but not cherry on the top. His behaviour is what annoys me. 

Please name them, I always enjoy seeing who rates who where

Not the keeper we thought we'd be getting back from loan at Atleti. 

He's good. Solid. Doesn't need command his area though and isn't fit to lick Cech's boots clean by any stretch. 

There are better keepers out there so if we sell him it's no big loss.

De Gea, Navas, Neuer, Oblak, Alisson, Donnarumma, Ter Stegen, Buffon unanimously, still wondering about Lloris, Ederson, Trapp and Handanovic. 

He won't go anywhere this summer I don't think no matter what we try. He wants to go to Madrid and they will never pay £20m+ when they can have him for nothing next summer.

For a fee that Madrid might pay it'd probably be worth it to keep him here for the season.

Like Hazard the only come i see him going to is Real Madrid especially with his kids living in Madrid. Im not 100% sure Madrid want him so i still feel he will sign a new contract. What other clubs want him?

Think he may be prepared to go to atleti

He's better than post head injury Cech, quite comfortably.

For me Courtois is in the very top group of keepers where there is very little to choose between all of them and purely in terms of keeping ability he is top 3. His distribution is below par though and because of his build his saves don't quite have the spectacular feel of some other keepers. (De Gea can and often makes a routine shot at his chest look like a spectacular save).

He will be extremely hard to replace at the same level of quality and if he goes we will have to take a step down.(Donnaruma, Alisson and even Oblak would be such.)

If he goes he goes...won't be that bothered...never really seen him as a top goalkeeper just a good one...besides he's hardly kept his wish of going back to Spain quiet....plenty of other 'keepers out there...Butland can be had from Stoke or others from abroad...get the most of money for him now while there's still one year keft on his contract...

I dont know why people dont rate Courtois, since his debut for Atletico in 2011, no GK in the top 5 leagues has kept more clean sheets than him. 

103 in total.

48 in 126 for Chelsea

55 in 111 for Ateltico

If that ratio isnt elite, I dont know what is.

As it stands, Buffon STILL holds the record for the most amount of money paid for a GK, that was in what, 2000 or 2001?

This summer if any of the top 10 GKs in the world move, they'll smash that record, for some reason, GKs never command huge fees and the top 20 GK transfers have GKs in it that cost about 10m.
