worst of all, he ran away from the difficult job that was rebuilding the team this summer people his mental guru shit had stopped working. gee me a breakFreeza wrote:halamadrid2 wrote:Which was the last time the club decided signings for the coach.

Yeah because us not buying anyone last season worked out well in the league. We were an absolute disgrace all season because Zidane didn't want any players.

Hala and DoC just wants us to replace Ronaldo with Lucas Vazquez I'm sure. Ronaldo is not needed when we got that true madridista player, who's just as nice and well-liked by the team as Navas.

Re: Thibuuuu: welcome to Madrid
Honest question: are people taking that one Courtois mistake and extrapolating it to his entire season?
EPL numbers
17/18: 76 saves, 15 clean sheets, 34 conceded
16/17: 68 saves, 16 clean sheets, 28 conceded
15/16: 67 saves, 5 clean sheets, 29 conceded
14/15: 74 saves, 12 clean sheets, 30 conceded

Re: Thibuuuu: welcome to Madrid
The people who saw his performances for Atletico, know that he's a top, top goalkeeper. People are just so quick to write off goalies when they have poor games or are going through short periods of poor form for whatever reason. As if, past consistency didn't mean anything. Having turned 26 only recently, it isn't unlikely that he has his best years ahead of him still. Here's hoping that coming off a very successful world cup, both individually and collectively, in addition to being reunited with his family, will bring out the best in him. Motivational drive really is the most underrated attribute in football.

His performances for Atletico were over 4 years ago. He's not elite. And that's fine. You aren't paying absurd money for him.

Re: Thibuuuu: welcome to Madrid
@thimmy... EPL showed his weaknesses. In La Liga, a lot of teams look to pass the ball into the net. In EPL, you take your chances from everywhere. It's far more physical. Although the WC showed that he could do it well, in EPL, he had a hard time with low shots. He also was a bit slow with having to reposition quickly on the same play. So what's Courtois' true level on thosE? What he showed in the WC or the EPL?
We'll see. It's a solid transfer either way. He's one of the best keepers in the world even with his footwork speed issue.

Thing is players like Messi will find your weakness and abuse you for it.

Re: Thibuuuu: welcome to Madrid
Messi and Ronaldo are both going to start declining now imo. No more top level WCs for either... and they've won everything at the club level. They'll still be elite for a couple of years. But the gap between them and the rest is gone.
Looking forward to it actually.

Yep lol, outside of PL fans he's probably the most overrated player on this forum.

Re: Thibuuuu: welcome to Madrid
I figure I should throw my 2 cents in now that the deal looks like it will happen.
I've never been fond of Courtois, and haven't taken to him like I have with Hazard, Kante or even Costa (while he was here). The reason for that is because I never felt like we won a game BECAUSE of Courtois. Perhaps that is expecting too much but it is what I hoped of him. He is still a fantastic GK but there are times where I feel he could have done more. I often thought to myself; 'Cech would have saved that.'
If his heart truly wasn't in Chelsea, then Madrid might get the best out of him, in which case you're getting a bargain but I feel that Chelsea Courtois is easily replaceable for the two or three decent saves per game he makes with us.

Hope Keylor's staying so I can get Nick's reaction when Thibuuuuuu's benched by Feburary.

Thibu is like Messis favorite GK. Cant handle these low balls at all, and any good player with football IQ like Messi will abuse that

Messi doesn't have the highest football IQ of all time, if he did he would be the ideal coach
Players like Zidane had more football IQ than him. I just said anyone with football IQ will outplay Thibu, and it's true. Any coach with proper sense like Allegri will instruct their players to abuse Thibu

Imagine saying Messis football IQ is one of a kind

Awful summer mercato, can't believe we just signed an inferior GK just because he is younger

Re: Thibuuuu: welcome to Madrid
Fantastic piece of business.
You know I must apologize to Madrid for doubting them. I thought they were going to stick to Benzema and not replace Ronaldo with a reliable goalscorer.
I'm glad I was wrong. Courtois will surely score 50 goals per season.

Messi has a very high football IQ and he’d be a great coach had he not been lacking other qualities that are necessary for the job namely good leadership skills etc. Also how can you say Zidane has a higher IQ? Did you measure that somehow?
