What's new

Thibaut Courtois

I didn't rate him that highly the past few years anyway, and last season I thought he was pretty poor and average. 

Crap with his feet, and I thought prime Cech was a much superior shot stopper than Courtois. Plus I'm really liking Kepa at the moment. 

 
I was thinking about writing an incredibly well though out critique of his time at Madrid.... But can't be arsed so 

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

This is the important bit for. When he left i thought we'd struggle to get close to his standard but Kepa is already much better imo.

I didn't because I didn't think he was all that great anyway. The only time he looked comfortable was when the rest of the team were doing well. He's very good from set pieces, but isn't very good at anything else.

 
There were times he let in a goal and I watch the replay and think that should have been easy to stop but he isn’t as good as they make him out to be

 
Did you see the article in the sun. They are claiming hes their worst signing in history loooooooooool

 
Thibaut named best goalkeeper in the world 2018 by The International Federation of Football History and Statistics

 
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.  :JC_doubleup:

 
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...
