We already have a keeper better than him, and he's only 18.

So why he didn't play for England at the World Cup, Coco?

Get butland make courtois sit on his arse sulking for a year

the guy is a massive bad influence where ever he will be

dont forget we sold cech to make him number 1

cant stand the guy

Butland is an ok keeper not as bad as some making out but he would do a job

I read elsewhere that Bulka is not just highly rated but his speed of development has not surprised anyone especially Hilario whose recommendation led to him being signed.

For me the smart thing to do is bring back Cech be it on a one year deal, which is unlikel,his wages at Arsenal are massive, but a deal where we pay a % of his wages may not be idea for Arsenal but they almost certainly will be letting either Ospina or Cech go but there don’t appear any takers.The clock is ticking and our taking Cech may be the only solution.

One way or anotherCourtois has be be go you really don’t want dis effected palyers around the group.

I’d be tempted to stick Bulka in goal today and see how he gets on. It’ll be a baptism of fire but if he plays well then lets give him the season and let Courtois go.

This is what i don't get, how can you be too busy? I imagine the agent does all the negotiating and Tbo just has to sign on the dotted line at the end or simply say 'No thanks, i want more than the measly £13,000,000 a year that you've offered'. Not like he has to sit there for months and negotiate himself. 

First world problem for professional footballer. He used every excuse available to delay the contract talk, and now comes the D day. I know family is first, but seriously why wasn't that first priority last year, or the year before?

Maybe he'll go back to Atletico if Real don't want him.

 

Iam surprised there hasn't been any news in reference to a swap with Oblak, think it wouldn't be such a bad deal offering tibo + 20 m for Oblak considering the prices of keepers currently & Tibo only having a year left on his contract.

There are only 2 problems. 

Who says that Atletico wants to let Oblak go?

Who says Oblak wants to leave Atletico for us?

Completely understand that side of things just surprised to not hear any speculation in that regard considering literally all our first 11 has been linked with moves all across Europe.

You are right on that. Probably because it wouldn't make any sense that Oblak would come our direction.

Just let in three goals today at Leeds, got a rating of 4 on skysports.

Second goal was completely his fault too. Basically threw the ball into his own net from a pea rolled shot 25 yards out.

Maurizio Sarri on Courtois and Hazard: “I have already talked to Courtois and Hazard two days ago. (giggles) I think there is more good news than bad news.” #cfc

Sarri news and a photo from Pierke.

What a strange combination. How do you translate 'komkommertijd' in English?

Sarri has Atold Courtois to be man enough to tell him to his face if he wants to leave Chelsea rather than leaking sob stories through his agent. 

Too right.

Nonsense, ForeverCarefree.

There are only two important questions, right now.

How does Chelsea see the future?

What is the ambition?

He was in Genk, yesterday.

That would be a great surprise.  :blush2:

I don’t see how it’s nonsense to expect a player to tell his manager to his face if his desire is to leave?

Chelsea have been very good to Courtois and have played a massive part in his success and standing as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe.

If he’s planning on jumping ship then the least he can do is being honest about it.

Uhm. You are right, ForeverCarefree. Nonsense is not the right word! My apologies. 

And indeed! Chelsea have been very good to Courtois and have played a massive part in his success and standing as one of the best goalkeepers in the world! If he wants to go, let him go. As simple as that. He was honnest, I guess. And you have already a massive talent, I have read on this page. 

No problems at all.

Ha! Ok.

 

And why do you believe he's already better?

Seen him start three times last season for u23's, he's already 6ft 5 but has the agility of someone smaller.
