    Bale was on fire in his last season but he was pretty handy the two seasons before (especially in the champs league and against the milans i think) and looked a threat whenever he played.

    i will be very surprised if PSG go for Kante, for starters he doesn't fit their passing style. I'm willing to challenge my avatar for a 2 months for your avatar for a month that Kante won't move before the end of the summer transfer window.

    The correct answer is I have no idea what her dress looks like.

    Was actually not that difficult.

    Only one Euro club he dreamed of playing for, and that
    was the club he is now at (once the circumstances were
    right for a state-sponsored summer of unsettling by them) .

    precisely my point, you didn't have CL yet he still stayed. The CL isn't the carrot some think that it is

    No. I never go to away games. I don't like football enough.

    Yeah he was good but like I said there was no concrete interest so we never had to fend off any bids.

    I'm not 100% certain he'll go so it wouldn't be a smart bet for me. I definitely think he'll want to go if PSG or a similar sized club come calling - which I think they will - but like I said earlier, you guys are rich enough to ward off interest so may keep him regardless. I reckon one of your big three players will go, though (Courtois, Hazard or Kante) - I'd wager that?

    All hypothetical, as no other club initially came in
    for him in 2013 before Madrid did. 2012 IMHO was
    a matter of his age (still early days in his career so
    no harm in showing some loyalty) .

    lol courtois isn't a big player and i'm pretty sure he's offskis anyway.

    I'd say no one will try to even bid for Kante but nothing to substatiate that as the media will make stuff up and i'd lose straight away. How about Kante moving / if kante puts in a transfer request :p.

    As i said i wouldn't be surprised if Hazard moves either. It's been on the cards for a while.

    The odd fanboy has been insisting for years that he's the best keeper in the PL.

    you got any other dossiers on me mate, i've said a lot of stuff (generally what happens when you put your opinion out).

    you got any dastardly wild predictions for the future?

    Courtois isnt fit to lace De Gea's boots, and anyone who says otherwise, Chelsea fan or not, is a total gimboid.
    i doubt anyone with a brain would try arguing otherwise these days,.

    Swear you lot - not you necessarily - used to say he was as good as De Gea?

    Players don't really do transfer requests these days, Mahrez is the only one in recent times and he's done it twice <laugh>.

    nah i said it, got into a big debate when Courtois was here in the first season and he used to catch everything.

    Since the 2nd and 3rd season after he made a few mistakes, he pretty much glues himself in his 6 yard box and whilst he's a good shotstopper, he's never been superb at it. Recently he's just been atrocious (inconsistent would be the better word), probably coincides when he stole KDBs bird and now he looks like he can't be bothered half the time.

    It got to the point where most of the fans actually don't mind Willy ****ing Caballero coming in and that guys one of the dodgiest keepers i've seen lol.

    Dunno how Courtois still has a good reputation, should bag the money whilst we can (then again there are very few elite keepers nowadays).

    People did say he was as good as De Gea a few years back.

    Remember it.
