What's new

Thibaut Courtois

Hopefully he’ll come back to Stamford Bridge one day, I’m sure he will get a warm reception from the fans.  :laugh:

Madrid fans reaction to his signing not overwhelmingly positive on Twitter, lots of comments in support of Navas.

Thought they’d be a lot happier, maybe the longstanding link to De Gea had them hopeful for having Spain’s number one between the sticks for them again?

It was made clear that Zidane never wanted him, having full faith in Navas, and a lot of Madrid fans share that view.

Their transfers must worry their fans. How the hell do they replace Ronaldo's goals? Not just his goals either, it's his presence too, that alone is usually enough to scare most teams. So far, not a single one of their players can replicate that, only Bale get's close but he's injured so much and seems to have an on and off reputation at Real Madrid. Barcelona will walk the league again this year, it will be easier than it's been in years for them, and it was pretty easy last season.

If Bale is fit he can produce a lot of goals one way or another but he's never fit in a whole season. Also that club has some problems, the way they said "goodbye" to Casillas and Raul was super sad and now when Ronaldo left they just made 1 freaking tweet about it, it's their top goalscorer in history which is not a small thing for a club like Real Madrid, just look how Barcelona said farewell to Iniesta it was amazing, Ronaldo will get a Totti-type goodbye from Juventus fans if things go well and he really stays there a few years. 

I still don't see Courtois as that amazing, Navas won 3 CL titles in a row but every year the club is somehow not trusting in him and now he will be a bench warmer, Barcelona will walk over them in El Classico this season and like you said in La-Liga as well, specially with the additions of Vidal,Arthur,Malcom.

Strange one isn't it? 

The previous manager thought their 'keeper was good enough (won them 3 European Cups so must be doing something right?). 

Was it that because Courtois was in the final 12 months of his contract they were able to sign a "galactico" style signing without having to actually spend very much money? Trying to appease fans after the sale of Ronaldo?

 
No respect for us Chelsea fans, no respect for Atletico fans, glad he's gone now.

He's not anywhere near the top keeper, these younger keepers coming through are more agile than he is, he relies mostly on his height, any shots that come in low and hard he struggles to get down to. It could all end in tears, fingers crossed.

 
Just reading through all these posts it's so easy to see how bitter people are about Courtois leaving. Really sad.

Damn right we have a right to be bitter...the faith, support and backing fans gave him over a gent and legend like Cech to be number 1 and he pulls this. The lanky weasel.

It's sad because we all knew it that all he was doing was winding down his contract. Even those that try to play devil's advocate and say he was unsure, difficult situation to be in as his kids in Spain....blah blah blah know deep down that the gobsh*te was doing what he has done best since we loaned him to Atletico.....Being unfaithul and ungrateful to Chelsea. 

We let this guy play against us in a champions league semi final for crying out loud just to keep him happy when we knew at the time he was a formidable element of Atletico's  backline. I believe at the time he held club to ransom about signing an extension and returning to  Chelsea if he was allowed to play or something similar (Not too sure now).

We knew it could be to our detriment and it was as he pulled off blinders against us to eventually carry them over the line.

Now I'm not saying it's wrong for him to have ambitions beyond Chelsea or even not share the same passionate emotions about the club we do as fans but he knew what he was doing all along and for a club that did what it has for you over the years that's pretty low class.

I'm glad the club has dealt with situation as best as it has but truth is they didn't really have a choice to deal with it earlier as the weasel led us all on.

 
Already wiped from the wall...

2013 he said to Real Madrid fans to f*k themselves in the ar**

 




 
My Biggest concern now is that in consecutive seasons we've had players not return for the new season and have been successful in getting there preferred move, this sets a very dangerous precedent. Like it or not but this is a failure on the part of Chelsea in allowing such a situation to arise, the situations should've been anticipated and possibly resolved before the players took matters into there own hands. 

 
Things we have done for Courtois

Let him compete against us in a champions league semi final, and he produced a few worldie saves to keep us out.

We dropped an all time legend Cech to keep Courtois happy

Anything else we also did for him?

Sacked a coach and brought in his own preferred coach. 

Rumoured to have chosen him over de bruyne over personal problems. 

 
deary me....so much nancy schoolboy angst in this thread despite the fact that he's been angling to leave for about 2 years now & for credible reasons.

I wish him well - certainly not our best keeper ever but within our top 3 to 4 keepers of all time. Thanks for your performances Courtois & I wish the best for you for the rest of your career.

I think after his actions we are well within our rights to be salty with him. As for his credible reasons, more fool you for falling for that obvious bullsh*t.
