Heh. Amusing how everyone says Ramsdale should be picked ahead of Pickford because his ball playing is elite and then you see this graph.
That's rubbish from Courtois though.
Those data paint Pope as quite the donkey. Yet he’s being hailed as best keeper in the league this season.
I suppose it depends on what you want from a keeper. As a pure shot stopper he's one of the best in the league.
Meslier also worse than DDG under pressure despite some wanting him to replace Dave.
Yeah he is a very good shot stopper. The only reason he isn’t at a bigger club is because he is deficient with his feet. He is more like a keeper of 20 years ago.
Bad injury and luck there. DDG might get his Madrid move?
‘Broken his ACL’
What a twist in the tale.https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cu9hknRgGJr/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==
Would be pretty funny if it came out he did his ACL whilst attention seeking for his wife's Instagram likes.
Edit: was in training. Sending my thoughts and prayers to the snake.

I want Tedesco out, but I also want this cnut to never play for Belgium again.
What happened between him and Tedesco?
What happened?
That kind of post is so annoying. No player is bigger than the Club or country but he comes across as though he thinks he is.
I hope Belgium do amazing with this current manager!!
During an international break in June 2023, Courtois all of a sudden didn't show up after our game against Austria, when we were supposed to fly to Estonia for our second game that week. Apparently he had a big fall-out with our manager after the Austria game. The manager then addressed the issue publicly and made it clear that Courtois was annoyed that Lukaku had been made captain (in De Bruyne's absence who is the real captain) instead of him.
After that, Courtois was not amused that Tedesco (i) made the issue public and (ii) Courtois stated that Tedesco didn't tell the truth about their fall-out: "this afternoon I was surprised to hear the coach's press conference in which he gave a partial and subjective account of a private conversation we had after the match against Austria [...] I am deeply disappointed with this but I want to make it clear that the coach's assessments do not fit with reality". And a load of other self-entitled bullshit alongside that.
Then nothing really happened anymore and Courtois tore his ACL in August, it was unclear whether he would even make the Euros selection so not a pressing issue for none of the parties involved.
But then all of a sudden Courtois came with this big mediatized interview, in which he completely threw Tedesco under the bus, and announced that he certainly wouldn't be ready for the Euros (seemed bullshit at the time and in hindsight even more since he was playing in the CL final and La Liga way before the Euros).
Then, next selection, Tedesco said in the press conference that he did and tried everything to resolve their issues. Courtois responded on Twitter to that post with three lying emojis:
And now, one week before the next international selection, he has announced that he won't play under Tedesco again. Basically he is throwing his international reputation and reputation in Belgium away because he's a big, self-centered child with an ego too big for his own good. I'm not saying Tedesco isn't at fault in this whole thing, but the way Courtois has behaved in all of this is laughable and not something you would expect from a top professional. Must hurt him even more that his replacement did very well at the Euros as one of our only players.
Seems like someone who just talks far too much and should just let his ability do the talking.
Thanks Robin. Yeah Courtois has always seemed like a massive knob. Wasn't he the one having an affair with a teammates girlfriend as well?
Yeah rumoured it was with KDB's.
He slept with KDB's girlfriend when she went to visit him in Madrid, yeah. Was in 2013 I believe.
Mard arse. Deal with it internally, speak to the manager man to man.
Most surprising thing for me here is seeing that Roberto Martinez isn't the Belgium manager
Great player, difficult personality you say?
He seems to be quite the tool. Both him and Tedesco that is.
I’d love to see a highlights package of Chelsea dressing room drama. Terry banging Wayne Bridge’s girl, Courtois having it away with De Bruyne’s. Enzo walking into a locker room full of black teammates.
On that last note, I can’t believe they’ve been able to reintegrate him immediately and make him captain. There must be so much suppressed resentment from some of his teammates. If anyone else sung a song like that and posted it on social media and our employer saw it, they would be sacked. It’s amazing how moral principles can be glossed over when there’s a lot of money involved.
Oh yeah, Courtois…..he’s a twat.
