Saint Garrett Posted 12 April, 2012 Share Posted 12 April, 2012 Probably ******** as it's Talksport and it's only 1 line but... http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/transfer-rumours/120412/southampton-consider-summer-move-chelsea-youngster-169574? Southampton are considering a move for Chelsea's reserve goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois if they win promotion. Courtois is currently on loan at Atletico Madrid and has an option to stay in Spain for another year. But Chelsea would be keen for him to gain Premier League experience and Southampton, currently top of the Championship, are watching the situation closely. (Oops spelt his name wrong in the title !)

skintsaint Posted 12 April, 2012 Share Posted 12 April, 2012 Thought they purchased him as Cechs long term replacement so they will prob send him out on loan next season as well. Doubt we are looking that far ahead tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 12 April, 2012 Author Share Posted 12 April, 2012 I would have thought that we would be interested in it as a season long loan not a permanent deal. Think he will clearly be a very handy keeper in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis17 Posted 12 April, 2012 Share Posted 12 April, 2012 Yes please! Would be a year-long loan but I'm sure I saw somewhere that he's keen to stay at Atletico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 12 April, 2012 Share Posted 12 April, 2012 Yes please! Would be a year-long loan but I'm sure I saw somewhere that he's keen to stay at Atletico. Unsurprising he actually gets to play first team football there.Would want the same with us and at the first blunder they'd all be whining for Kelvin.. Would prefer a real signing myself,someone who commands his box, comes out for crosses and doesn't drop shots into the path of onrushing attackers.

Saint Posted 12 April, 2012 Share Posted 12 April, 2012 I've just been watching highlights of Atletico vs Real on Sky. He looks a decent keeper. I highly doubt he'd come to us if he's only just signed for Chelsea. Maybe a loan in the same way we have Falque. You never know though. So many more opportunities in the PL.

The9 Posted 12 April, 2012 Share Posted 12 April, 2012 HCDAJFU SCORECARD : An overall score of 7 is an absolute minimum for serious discussion. Personal Profile(Under 27) Y (No reported attitude problems) Y Availability(Not playing regularly for a team in Prem top 4 / Champions League QF) Y (Out of contract/On loan) Y (Doesn't have unrealistic wage demands) Maybe? (Not injury prone) Y Suitability(Experience in League we'll be in / highly rated in the division lower) N (Obvious improvement on current player in this position) Dunno Other Factors(Not linked with Saints in the media) N (Not ridiculously overpriced) Y (Not being linked with top 4 sides) N Points off for having any of the following : Negatives (Linked with the club in the red-top print media) N (Premier League has-been - say fewer than 10 starts in any of the last 3 seasons at that level whilst at a Prem club) Y (but a bit harsh so score 0.5) (Ex-Saints) N (Rumoured Saints fan) N SCORE : P 2 A 3.5 S 0.5 O 1 N -0.5 Total 6.5 - very nearly worth a HCDAJFU - but his potential wage demands and a lack of known quality damage his rating to just below the threshold.
