I don't think either Cech or Courtois would want (or should) play as #2 keepers. My guess would be that Courtois joins Chelsea - with the possible sale of Cech to Athletico

Neither are number 2 keepers but can't see us just giving Courtois the number 1. He's been brilliant and no reason to suggest he wont hit the ground running but he may struggle early on and it would be useful to have Cech around as well. If in a years time Courtois is the undisputed number 1, Cech will probably want to leave and he'll do so with the clubs blessing IMO.
So in short, I think both will be at Chelsea next year.
Courtois only has 2 years left on his Chelsea contract.
Dont see him signing a new one unless he is guaranteed games next season.
I agree and the club has a problem.
Just can't see us letting such a legend and still top class keeper in Cech go this year to accommodate a guy whose yet to play 1 minute for us or in the P.L.
Personally I'd keep Petr but start the season with Courtois. If he's doing well, offer him a new deal around Jan (If he's not signed one already).
2 players we've been linked with..............strong rumours that Mangala is heading to City with a fee of 40 million euros agreed and Kroos to Madrid for 25 million euros.
Kroos going cheaper than Lallana!
Shame about Kroos, he would have been a very good signing.

Cech's agent has confirmed I think that both French clubs have been in contact but he doesn't think Cech will be leaving.
Just heard that Lukaku is going on yet another season-long loan this time to Athletico Madrid. What does this guy have to do to break into your first team. I thought last year he was better than what you had up front yet it seems mourinho doesnt rate him
not heard this....source?
Can't see it myself unless Lukaku signs an extension as I believe he only has 2 years left on his deal. Though perhaps it's to smooth over the Luis deal??
Good. Awful attitude. We'd be better playing Bamford or someone that actually looks like he cares.
I don't get why people think it's Mourinho and Chelsea's fault? The guy has a major superiority complex. He thinks he's a lot better than he is. If he wants to leave the club he claimed to 'support' because he isn't number 1 then he can **** right off.
Last season HE wanted to go out on loan because we signed Eto'o, it wasn't just Jose's choice.
Innit we already have a J-Rod in E-Hazard?
It is supposed to be E-Hazard's tournament and he flatters to deceive.
Thorgan Hazard has signed for Monchengladbach on loan for the season. They're in Europa League too.
We know Eden is worth his place and a poor WC just means maybe the transfer away stories will calm down and let him work.
Lot of talk that Liverpool have met a 20M release clause for Lazar Markovic. But there is rumours we have a deal breaker that would let us sign him for 12M after we struck a deal to let him sign for Benfica. A deal worth taking I reckon, could make an easy 10M doing nothing.
