According to Di Marzio negotiations with Courtois and Chelsea have broken down and Chelsea are ready to sell him in the summer, Alisson of Roma is also reportedly the man we want to replace him. Thoughts if true?
Personally I will be happy to see Courtois leave, Hes a top goalkeeper, He commands his area well but the fella just simply hasn't been committed to the club and has flirted with Madrid at every opportunity.
This term is used so much but I genuinely feel we really are in a transitional period, Potentially 3/4 first teamers leaving and needing replaced, A new manager with a completely new philosophy on the horizon too! Bring it on

Not harsh, We all recognise his abilities, It seems aswell as having a massive neb he also has a massive head and thinks hes bigger than the club, Good riddance.
If he stays he needs to knuckle down and stop all this flirting with other clubs.

Chavy, that's what i'm saying, not all on this forum recognise his abilities.

Courtois seems to have dipped the past 12 months when I have seen him, not as good a shot stopper as I initially thought. Perhaps it's a motivational thing?
Allison is ahead of Ederson for Brazil so must have something about him. Only seen him vs Liverpool though and he didn't stand out.

This is fantastic news if he goes to Real. Means we get to keep De Gea for the foreseeable future!

Has he really flirted THAT much with the parasites from Spain?
Apart from articles on 606 saying he has , I haven't seen that much to confirm that.
Certainly not as much as Costa did with Atletico!

Whether it is perception or not, it just doesn't seem like Courtois has his heart set on staying. Footballer are stupid - whether they mean it or not they should always say how much they love the club they currently play for. What's the point of annoying the fans? But if he doesn't want to stay - move him on. We will probably lose out financially as he only has 12 months left on his contract, so a keeper of similar quality will probably be more expensive to buy that the amount we receive for Courtois. But that's the fault of the board for allowing him to run down his contract.
Meanwhile the board is futzing around trying to save money on compensation for Sarri - and wasting time while our competitors are actually signing players. We really don't have smart people running our club.

Every man and his dog is being linked to Alisson. He won't be cheap.

We'll get £40m-£50m for Courtois or else a deal were we offer Courtois for a really cheap price £25m-ish and get Isco/Asensio/Bale at a cut price.
