...T"hey do have one of the best shot stoppers in the world on their books in Thibaut Courtois but they have agreed to let him stay at Atletico Madrid for a third straight season.

Courtois is considered too good by the hierarchy to risk not playing regular first-team football and is still earmarked to be the long-term successor to Cech."

"So.....Basically John, we think your alright, come here and you'll be Cechs back up until we decide to bring Courtois back, then you'll be his."
