Correctly predicted Portugal to win Euro 2016
And Valdes is the best 4th choice keeper.De Gea is the best 3rd choice keeper in the Premiership this season.

It is a massive blow
But I would have begovic as a far better keeper than Romero
Begovic is a better keeper than Romero no doubt.
I personally think that while Begovic might not be the best keeper around, he's definitely on the same level as Begovic. Not quite as good as Begovic overall, but Begovic isn't too far off Begovic.
There really isn't much between them.
Begovic is a very good goalkeeper and is easily better than Romero. It's not a big problem but Begovic isn't world class like Begovic.
Oh dear.
I'd say Romero and Begovic are about the same level so this is a big blow for Chelsea.
Did that late least night. The benifits of seeing the British morning papers around 1am in Canada.Watch the Fantasy Premier League servers go in to meltdown as everyone rushes to swap Courtois for De Gea
Begovic is overrated on here.
Ivanovic has been very dodgy too, JT looks old..long may this continue..I feel sorry for Courtois but I am delighted that Chelsea will now struggle big time. Their defense has been all over the place and Begovic has been poor so far.
Oh dear.

Yeah, he was poor for Stoke last season and was even dropped for a while. The fact that he always looked likely to leave probably did play a part in that but some of his mistakes were still very poor. His performance against you lot a few weeks ago has been blown out of proportion too imo, most of the saves he made were close to him and were ones you'd expect from a decent keeper.Yeah I've said it for a while that I think he's not as good as some people made out, he made his fair share mistakes for Stoke but as it was a Stoke match against an equally dull team like West Brom most people never saw it or quickly forgot about it. Having said that, he's fine for a 2nd choice at a team like Chelsea, and he's not a liability or anything like that so for three months with him in goal they should be alright.
Better than Hilario when Cech was injured in 2006-7.
Actually he was third choice, wasn't he? Their number 2 got injured immediately, I forget his name but he was considered the best backup of any squad, or thereabouts, at the time.
Butland??
Also did he injure himself while walking his dog?
This! He ia really not as good as Begovic.Begovic is overrated on here.
This is good. Whilst Begovic is a sound GK, he's no Courtois, who has pulled off some outstanding saves for Chelsea whenever they've being under the cosh. Something Begovic hasn't got the agility to replicate.

I feel sorry for Courtois. Seems like a very likable bloke.
