He seems a complete prick just in general.Even though he wasn’t our player, I get a little enjoyment every time I see him mess up for Madrid. The way he acted to get out of Chelsea was disgraceful.
In before someone gives me an example of a player doing this to secure a transfer to United. No, I do not care. Football fan in being a hypocrite shocker.
Yeah it does seem that way. There’s this, which has been going on for years. He was boning De Bruyne’s girlfriend when they were both at Chelsea as well.He seems a complete prick just in general.

Apparently Zidane had to constantly fight for Navas, he said over and over he didn't want another keeper. He probably knew they had much bigger problems with the team than the keeper and wanted to spend any available money there instead.Yeah it does seem that way. There’s this, which has been going on for years. He was boning De Bruyne’s girlfriend when they were both at Chelsea as well.
Long may he continue to suffer. If I remember correctly, Zidane was a big advocate for keeping Navas in goal, and he was never too keen on Curtois?
If so, when Zidane eventually thinks Navas needs replacing, what are the chances of him looking elsewhere?
He refused to show up for training for a few days to try and force his transfer through. How is that not being a prick?Why was he a prick to get out of Chelsea?
He wanted to leave for a couple of seasons before that. He was promised they would allow him to go in that season and they pretty much lied to him. He even stated his children are in Spain and he wants to see them as a father more, and they still didn't let him leave.He refused to show up for training for a few days to try and force his transfer through.

It’s bad news for us if they don’t see Courtois as their long term keeper, as this summer they will come back in for De Gea.Even though he wasn’t our player, I get a little enjoyment every time I see him mess up for Madrid. The way he acted to get out of Chelsea was disgraceful.

Is that a thing?staying out drinking coffee till 1am
He was not promised anything. Where on earth did you get that idea?He wanted to leave for a couple of seasons before that. He was promised they would allow him to go in that season and they pretty much lied to him. He even stated his children are in Spain and he wants to see them as a father more, and they still didn't let him leave.
The only prick in that situation is Chelsea Football Club.
On the continent it’s what some do but I can understand why it mightn’t work for BaleIs that a thing?
Maybe he has been keeping a secret from you. Bet his nose has been put out of joint by this. Couldn't happen to a nicer lad.He was not promised anything. Where on earth did you get that idea?
Before the world cup, he said he would come back to Chelsea and sort things out. He didn't.
As for his "children", he only has one. I guess we'll see how true that reason was if he gets sick of being a sub at Real and moves to another Spanish side.
I can't find the article, but I'm quite sure he accused Granovskaia of not keeping to her word. Chelsea were furious at the accusation.He was not promised anything. Where on earth did you get that idea?

Wanting to be closer to you kid is certainly not something that makes you a prick.I can't find the article, but I'm quite sure he accused Granovskaia of not keeping to her word. Chelsea were furious at the accusation.
Don't really care about he said, she said at this stage. I just saw a guy force a move because he wanted to be with his children. I don't think he's a prick for that.
Which other Spanish clubs were in for him?Wanting to be closer to you kid is certainly not something that makes you a prick.
It was not about that though. He was not interested in a move to any other Madrid (or even Spanish) based sides. He wanted a move to a bigger and better club for more money and used his daughter as an excuse.
You seem a little bitter, he wanted to move to be closer to his kid, its not like there were over sides in Madrid or Spain at the top level looking for a keeperWanting to be closer to you kid is certainly not something that makes you a prick.

I would have thought a shitload would have wanted a player of his calibre had he not already agreed to go to Real for 13 million euros a year. All about his daughter though.Which other Spanish clubs were in for him?
Bitter? Maybe. Wanting to go to a bigger club I have no issue with. Wanting to move closer to your family, I also have no problem with. Just don't lie about why you want to move and that you'll come back to the club.You seem a little bitter, he wanted to move to be closer to his kid, its not like there were over sides in Madrid or Spain at the top level looking for a keeper
Again where has he lied? If you can name the other clubs in need of a keeper that he could have went to who were UCL clubs....Bitter? Maybe. Wanting to go to a bigger club I have no issue with. Wanting to move closer to your family, I also have no problem with. Just don't lie about why you want to move and that you'll come back to the club.
We could have quite possibly gone into the season with Cabellero and Rob Green as our goalies. We were even linked with Joe fecking Hart!
Before the world cup he said he would return to Chelsea. He did not turn up. That's the lie.Again where has he lied? If you can name the other clubs in need of a keeper that he could have went to who were UCL clubs....
Also since your club already knew he wanted to leave for at least 2 years, its not his fault you were left in a predicament, it was your clubs.
Barcelona didn't need him, nor did Atletico. Real needed him. He wanted to be with his daughter. Chelsea didn't let him go even though his wishes were glaringly obvious as he was ticking down his contract each season. But he's the prick for going?I would have thought a shitload would have wanted a player of his calibre had he not already agreed to go to Real for 13 million euros a year. All about his daughter though.
I'm not sure if bitter is the right word. I just loathe him, his face and his stupid nose.Barcelona didn't need him, nor did Atletico. Real needed him. He wanted to be with his daughter.
But he's the prick? You're sound it quite bitter here. Just arbitrarily claiming he could have gone to any club (why would he when there was an obvious goalkeeping hole at one of the biggest clubs in Spain), when there was no reported interest from anyone bar Real.
I suppose not!I'm not sure if bitter is the right word. I just loathe him, his face and his stupid nose. That's not bitter is it?
Different players under different circumstances.It doesn't matter what Courtois claims he was told.
You don't go awol from work. We all slagged Di Maria off when he did the same to us.
How so?Different players under different circumstances.
Pure bitterness to suggest he is lying about his daughter. Its quite silly as well I mean so you think he should have signed for Elbar when Real were after a keeper?Before the world cup he said he would return to Chelsea. He did not turn up. That's the lie.
Why does the clubs he might have gone to need to be "UCL" clubs? He wanted to be closer to his daughter, not move to a better side.
As for it being Chelsea's fault, we probably (perhaps stupidly) though he would do what De Gea did, what Hazard did and what Hudson-Odoi all when they asked to move and were refused which is be a professional and turn up for work.
I don't mind that, but to suggest he is lying about his daughter is lower than low imoIt doesn't matter what Courtois claims he was told.

Aye fair enough.I don't mind that, but to suggest he is lying about his daughter is lower than low imo
According to him he made it clear to Granovskaia that he wanted out. We can say it's his word versus hers but it's quite obvious he wanted to leave for Spain. She reportedly did not keep her side of the bargain of letting him leave when the time came, so he forced the issue. The man was running down his contract so it's obvious he wanted to go back to Spain for a while.How so?
Why was it out of order for Di Maria to just feck Utd off and not bother showing up for work but for Courtois it was fine?
Courtois said this (just before the world cup):According to him he made it clear to Granovskaia that he wanted out.

He has a daughter he wanted to re-unite with which gives him a far more reasonable personal circumstance than Di Maria.
