Cicero Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Reliable reports stating we have stopped negotations with Courtois, with his contract currently up next year. He is demanding 275K a week as a reward for getting megged by Messi twice. Good riddance. Continues to flirt with Madrid whilst at the expense of not even being a top class keeper. Reports saying we will join the race for Allison.
6666 Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Never really got the hype with him as being one of the best in the world. He's a good keeper but wouldn't go further than that.

Spike Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Just now, Cicero said: Is there stats to back that up? Stats mean absolute fuck all. A GK could make 50 stops a game if they are all terrible shots, compared to one that concedes one shot off an amazing strike. Then it has to be taken into account how strong defense is, the teams played against. I think I will go with what Atleti fans have told me, over bloody stats as they are the people that watched all 150+ games of Courtois and Oblak.

Cicero Posted May 31, 2018 Author Posted May 31, 2018 @Spike I'm fully aware that stats don't tell the whole story. I'm also aware that Courtois has had the luxury of having a formidable defence and system aduring his time at Atletico. In which so has Oblak. So at the very least, comparing apples to apples (Courtois and Oblak's spells at Atletico) statistics could provide some sort of insight. The sheer fact Courtois wants to be the most expensive goal keeper on the planet, whilst not even being a top keeper, and continues to flirt with Madrid. I'd gladly swap him with Oblak should the latter want to move. Also, what other Atletic fans want Courtois back bar Kowabanga?

It's now like I know the pricks, haha. I'm just saying that is how it is from certain view points, I don't agree with them at all. Fuck Courtois.
Dr. Gonzo Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I want us to get Allison or Oblak so Chelsea, please stick with Courtois. At least until we sign a keeper, then feel free to do whatever the fuck you want. Or alternatively, sign Mignolet and make him your starter.

Jamel has been well thought after at Chelsea for a long time. Great body very athletic pretty safe hands for a young keeper. From what I have read Sheffield are keen on another year, which is probably what will happen with him, but I believe he has a future at Premier League level. Also, Sheffield sat him on the bench half way through the season, only for him to regain his place in Jan I think. I would have thought whoever gets him next season we would need assurances he is a starter. He is 24 now and dangerously near decision time for Chelsea. I have my fingers crossed for him!

6666 Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Courtois only has a year left on his contract and reports suggest he'd be willing to see it out if a new deal isn't agreed. Seeing as he's also said that he wants to return to Madrid, it's hard to see him agreeing to a new deal (although money can make people change their minds). Time to sell?

Ended up with nobody. Youd think we would have learned not to do that again.
