We could try get this guy if Chelsea sign him, says they could immediately loan him out. Obviously it's only paper talk but if true looks a very good keeper and part of the Belgian first team. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_7041514,00.html http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jul/16/chelsea-thibaut-courtois-genk-goalkeeper
He's going back to Genk? Were did you see that? the only thing I could find was that their (Genk) looking for a replacement and that they wish he could of stayed longer.
The only team he's mentioned as going to (other than Chelsea obviously) is Athletico Madrid as a replacement for De Gea. If Chelsea want to loan him out you can almost guarantee there'll be Europa League teams from all over wanting him so i doubt we'd be in contention. Plus i think Gulacsi's as good as done, we're expected to sign him Monday or Tuesday.
LOL Its not Christmas yet he won't be coming to a Championship club. He had the best clubs in europe chasing him!!
I saw him on the sky sports scout thing. "On his way to Chelsea in a €5million deal, but very sensibly he will be loaned back to Genk for at least one season." Type 'sky sports scout courtois' on google, click the top link, then on the right it will say 'sky sports scout' Click that and tada.
Have I missed something? The last I heard it seemed almost definite that Gulacsi was coming here for a year.
If you've missed it Craig, then I've missed it too. I expect him to be signing in the next couple of days.
Gulacsi hasn't yet signed because he is in Singapore with Liverpool. They fly back tonight and Gulacsi is due to sign for us in the coming week.
