To be straight I've never been keen on this player , as along term replacement for club legend Petr Cech.
Courtois family wife and kids still live in Madrid and are registering there children in school for the long term.
So now this fckn little rat is leaving, and lets face it he always was going to
We are going to be looking for a replacement, world class goal keepers like strikers do not grow on trees.
Letting Cech go was stupid and very wrong Imo, it gave AFC an advantage, it imbalanced the squad last season when we were suffering the breaking up of the original Abramovich 2003 .> 2013 spine.
It was the worst possible message you could send out to players about club loyalty towards its legends.
Cech helped CFc win every single trophy in the last 12 or so years , his imput was crucial, we wouldn't have won the Champions league with out his saves.
To ask him to leave because Courtois was a younger prospect was out and out fckn wrong, you cannot buy loyalty , and clubs are built on it.

It's pretty much the same as how United fans hold no bad feelings towards Schmeichel. And he joined Man City.

Drog, oh im sorry you find then subject of club loyalty boooring , but its the stuff that great clubs are made of unfortunately .
Im a life long supporter and have seen the club go though many phases , I want the best for the club and Abramovich who has unconditionally invested.
But we have had problems and every know and again we can be our own worst enemy ,and the treatment of Cech , much like Annelka & Alex could have been handled better Imo.

I see that the Costa story has lost momentum with the media so they have switched to another of their favourite targets to unsettle the fans.

Unsettling the fans ?
Please don't include me in that appraisal , im here to debate on this forum
But seriously Jf,
Whether we hide our heads in the sand or take note that Costa and Courtios are both not brimming with loyalty to the club is a great shame.
They are happy to take the contracts , but don't seem to be bothered about honoring them, I know that they are not on there own in this regard, but great sides are built with loyalty.
