Thibaut Courtois

[Catorce]

That scenario is nonsense.

It's not. Mourinho is obsessed by Barcelona and will do everything in his powers to block any kind of success by our club. Even if it means sacrificing Cech to play the, in my opinion, best keeper in the world atm.

Mourinho is not going to think 5 years ahead. He's going to do what he thinks is best for his success now.

 

[Grimwig]

knowing both keepers pretty well, I still rate de gea as the better and more talented of the two.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

I agree with you, but unfortunately picking up De Gea is very unlikely.

Courtois is much better than DDG. Ask any Atletico fan and they will tell you Courtois 100%. Courtois is got everything and is only 21 and already among the elite keepers in the world IMO. DDG has improved for United and produced excellent saves but he is not better than Courtois.

...

OK?

Of course they would, they're the most likely to be biased. Ask any United fan and they'll tell you De Gea 100% .

 

[DonAK]

IMO, And its just my opinion,

DDG > Courtois for now.

 

[Cule4life]

Courtois>DDG IMO. DDG is still weak at commanding his area especially set pieces

But he is not owned by them. Or ask in a fair way then who is better based on their time there? Courtois is simply amazing. Has a few trophies to his name already and is doing well to keep the GK jersey for Belgium from Mignolet who is another excellent keeper.

Barcelona have made enquiries regarding a transfer of Atletico (on loan from Chelsea) keeper Thibaut Courtois. He's willing to join. [sport]

 

[Cule4life]

Whats his release clause btw?

 

[Icarium]

Rosell (president): "Courtois rumour? He's a great player, but I don't know anything, Zubizarreta is in charge of sports matters." [ser]

 

[Bertus]

Whats his release clause btw?

IIRC, they don't automatically have release clause in england.

If he doesn't, it's up to Chelsea to fix the price.

Knowing them, it will not be easy (Mourinho doesn't want to make Barcelona stronger, same happened with Luiz), and not cheap if they accept to sell him.

Now, will Scrooge Zubi accept to pay the price? It's up to him and rosell since from what i heard, Courtois is not the kind of dude that would act like Bale to force a transfer. And despite foricng it, Bale's transfer was not cheap at all.

be ready to pay, or to not get him.

Courtois is unlikely to happen for all the obvious reasons

Well, last time i pointed out the reason Luiz transfer would not happen and a forum member was like all angry to me as if i was trying to trash barca.

Point is, dealing with Mourinho and Chelsea is not easy, especially if you are a big club like Barcelona.

And as i said, Courtois so far has been a very elegant person. I don't see him clashing with Chelsea, and just like how Rosell hoped TS to clash with Paris, there is little chance to happen

As i said, if he doesn't have a release clause, Barca will have to PAY for it to happen.

And that's where it can struggle because just like for Marquinhos, Barcelona might refuse to pay a high price.

In the case of Marquinhos, so far, he's proving he's well Worth the 31M psg paid for, so it's up to zubi.
