Surely Navas has to go back in goal now.

Tibo's an absolute colander.

Really ?.

No wonder everyone wants to go to Madrid. You just get awards thrust at you for no reason.

Like vinicius junior getting a young player of the year (golden boy or whatever) nomination off the back of 4 first team appearances.

 

also ... who ????

Well, he does deserve something for his beautiful Roman Emperor sort of name.

As another poster put it, the only time he looked World Class while on the pitch with Chelsea players, he was the goaltender for Athletico Madrid.

He might get back to where he was when first in Madrid, but he never reached those levels here. Despite that got pretty much anything he could ever ask for from the club and still spat in our faces when presented with the option of acting respectfully to get the move he wanted or like a total prat to force the move he wanted.

Hate to think he might be aware of CFC fans opinion of him and if so his second World Class performance will likely be next time he plays us. 

When was the last time we (competitively) played Real? I remember being gutted that we didn't get to play them in 2004. When they had Raul, Figo, Zidane etc

 

Those would have been fantastic games to watch.

28.08.98, Super Cup Final, 1-0, Gus Poyet. 

Three goals in tonight, and 15 minutes to play yet. The madridistas must be happy with this "lovely guy" (don't want to annoy the political correct or lose my job), although not entirely his fault.

Aw, shame that....... Ha ha ha ha ha ha... 

I thought they called it sunny Spain.....not for this lad.

“In March I had a meeting with Marina (Granovskaia) in which I told her that I would like to leave — living in London and the busy schedule made it impossible to see my kids, who lived in Madrid...

“‘Are you going to find something?’ she replied.
I told her, ‘Don’t worry’.
‘That’s good,’ she said. ‘We’ll let you go and we will find a replacement.’

“But, suddenly after the World Cup, a departure wasn’t that obvious anymore. All possible targets seemed too expensive. That was not what we had agreed on.”

 

worse thing about that is the fact Marina Granovskaia is with out doubt calling all the shots !!

Just to add fuel to the fire. What a disaster he is. 

Does concern me that we weren't in for Alisson if we knew Courtois was leaving, but I'm happy enough with Kepa.

Yep 

Not sure which is bigger his nose or his mouth. 

Good riddance to him really. 

Atlético supporters have thrown rats at him today in the derby...

I wouldn’t have been surprised 

Thing with Tibo that always annoyed me is that he never looked bothered when he conceded a goal. 

Always bothered me. 

Speaking again about how he loves playing with Eden and would be delighted to be playing with him again.

Ok firstly, you're both Belgian. You will play alongside each other again anyway.

And secondly, you're a goalkeeper! Hazard is a forward. Either he is shooting against you in training, or he is on the other side of the pitch all throughout a match. What are you talking about!? ... Playing with each other...
