if we lose Coutrois but don't sign another keeper, I'd much rather we give Bulka until January. We can try and sign someone else then if he's been awful, but why not give him a chance.

Have you all come to terms yet that Caballero is our #1 GK this season? I did months ago and I must say, I feel in peace during this whole mess. 

This mess of a train has been without brakes for the past year and now its come to its final destination. The board did nothing to help themselves. Pure laziness, incompetence and flat out failing to take responsibility.  

Some are in for a rude awakening this season. I still fully believe we will be in 6-8th place at end of season. At best maybe 5th. 

Offered to make him the highest paid keeper in the world and Courtois was in the media saying he's happy to stay at chelsea if we make him the right offer. Courtois led the board on here. 

Big nosed tosser, never did like him. 

At least, that's what I'll be telling myself when he leaves. 

Can't help but think he has been more trouble than he's been worth, You get absolute gems such as Cudicini and Cech followed up with this absolute weasel who doesnt have an iota of respect for his employer who have aided him greatly within his career to put him in a position where is is being pursued by one of the biggest clubs in the world.

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.

Can't we put carlo in goal for this coming season, he should be better than willy really lol

Would argue only De Gea is better.
Lloris has been poor for a while.
Cech is done.
Do Liverpool even have a number 1?
Too early to make a call on Ederson as he's had f* all to do all season. Made some good saves against us though. 
 

Well, Courtois will struggle to be in my top 5

Just get rid of him. He has not covered himself in glory in this situation. We are not holding him hostage, we offered him a very large contract, and after stringing Chelsea along he spat in our faces and threw his dummy out of his pram and started screaming.

As for Real Madrid, Courtois is not even their first choice, Kepa was. Good luck to Courtois, but he should remember which club held him in the highest regard. You reap what you sow. I certainly won't miss him, he is too much trouble

My only criticism of the club would have been not getting it resolved sooner, one way or the other.

I think we should have given Courtois an ultimatum, and had he not signed then replaced him at the start of the summer. 

We (seemingly) have allowed ourselves to be backed into a corner, with Courtois pulling all the strings.

Weren't you saying Conte was staying al' summer? 

He has been moaning about not being close enough to his family for AGEEESSS. Months and months ago. The club should have sat him down before the WC and asked him if he wanted to stay or leave.

But no, naturally it's 2 days before the window closes and we are scrambling around to try and find a replacement, whilst he goes AWOL.

Omnishambles

I really couldn't care less if he goes or not. Not a great player, and he's a bit of a prick quite honestly. 

Amazing how now Courtois 'isn't really that good' because he's off. The bloke is a thunderc**t but there's no denying he's the second best keeper in the league and probably top 3-5 in the world. 

If he’s gone awol fine him a weeks wages. Tell Real f**kin Madrid it’s 40m or nothing. Then tell the player he’s a c**t and put him with Chelsea ladies. Piece of dog turd.
 
 

He will fancy playing with the ladies

As an alternative to selling him now for £31M, or keeping him for a year and then seeing him leave for nothing on a free transfer, why can't the club just buy his ex and her kids a free mansion in one of those nice estates in Cobham ? He can then sign his new contract and visit whenever he likes  :-) Probably only cost a couple of million ... maybe five tops ...

Wow! And who the f**k is Courtois to deserve all that?

You're just lying to yourself then.

I think most people know I have never been a fan of Courtois. He is just an average overrated player.

Totally agree. I was so excited when he was on loan at Athletico and performing so well and getting all the plaudits and couldn't wait to have him back as I saw him being our No.1 for the next decade.

But he has been a disappointment, both on and off the field. Sure, he's a good keeper, but he hasn't been as good as Cech was at his peak (pre-injury). And as for his personal life, I know it's none of our business but it winds me up with how the media keep getting it wrong about "he rightly want's to be with his wife and kids". No, as I understand it, he has split up with the mother of his two kids as he did the dirty on her with a younger model. And that after allegedly shagging De Bruynes girlfriend in the past. So I still hold him at least partly responsible for KDB not being a Chelsea player any more, so he can go and f**king do one.

Could well happen. Though am personally preparing for the 11th hour "Chelsea agree 35mill deal for stoke city keeper jack butland".

Ohh come¨on man, the Club cant be this child-like, they must have known Tibo was not willing, he didnt shaft us, we shaft ourselves. You not going to sign? And RM has come calling? Then f**king sell and get going about our business. We waited and waited and Thus this mess. The Club didnt really figure out where this was going?

I hope he likes them more than money.

It's going to cost him millions in lost wages, something like £1million a month. 

A good ponder about that, and he will be back with his tail between his Giraffe like legs.

Maybe RM can give him his lost earnings ?

Don't hold your breath Tibo.

Is anyone surprised he's playing silly buggers when he seemed to be opening his gob every week to the media to stir the pot?

Reserves time Tibo.

I'd argue that De Gea was... so that would put Courtois third. This flirtation with a keeper is nothing new. Usually it's the player constantly flirting with other clubs, in this case, the party I respect the most in this is Keylor Navas. Despite the fact that Real has been linked with other keepers for literally years now, Navas has done nothing but keep his mouth shut, do a job, and win titles. Have to think the club respects him more than they show publicly, or he'd be off already.
