Current Club

Courtois may have been transferred to Madrid but this official link says otherwise. Avenue X at Cicero (talk) 17:05, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Avenue X at Cicero, 25 July 2011

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

From this official link, you will see that considering Courtois is a Chelsea player, he would have been listed with the two other players on loan. You can also see from Madrid's Official website that Courtois is not their player. Considering Chelsea did sign him, he would have made the Main Page of Chelsea's website. As you can see from one of my edit-summs, it'll read Still a Genk player. According to Chelsea's website , AVB says 'It is still a couple of days until we can confirm agreement between all three parties'.) The matter regarding Courtois' current club has really gone out of hands 'cause of some "die-hard" Chelsea fans trying to prove their clubs signings, we really need an admin to analyze all the facts. Hope you'll understand. Thank You. Avenue X at Cicero (talk) 10:05, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I 100% agree, the player is a Racing Genk player, that is a fact and as wikipedia is meant to deal in facts, Courtois should not be listed as a Chelsea player on loan at Atletico. I have sources to prove this point. The information on the Thibaut Courtois page is incorrect, the page should be changed asap. Mythical Curse (talk) 14:32, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

'current club has really gone out of hands 'cause of some "die-hard" Chelsea fans trying to prove their clubs signings' That doesn't matter, I am a big Chelsea fan myself, but i don't try and 'prove my clubs signings'. All that matters is facts and Courtois is still a Racing Genk player and has not yet signed for Chelsea. The page should show Thibaut Courtois as still being a Racing Genk player, otherwise it is simple incorrect. Mythical Curse (talk) 19:31, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the stern comment, Mythical Curse, I'm a CFC fan too. But its just that Shihan07 is trying to desperately list Courtois as a CFC player, which is against facts. I faced the same situation at Charlie Adam and Stewart Downing recently (with the latter causing the removal of my Rl. rights). I was really angry that WP was being used for listing Courtois as a CFC player, even though he technically isn't. BTW...isn't it amazing that Courtois is said to be playing for Madrid via Chelsea even though he only has a section in the article for Genk? Avenue X at Cicero (talk) 09:29, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've been asked to have a look at this. As I see it, he's currently still at Genk. He's almost at Chelsea, but there's nothing on their site that says he's signed (it's still a couple of days away. Consequently, he's not at Athletico. Genk imply he's left them, but it's a press release, so doesn't talk about whether he's still on their books (and the translation is garbled [1]). If you're all happy with this, I'll make the changes and unprotect the article. Ged UK 11:54, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy with semi-protection as long as Shihan07 promises not to change it to Athletico/Chelsea without CFC confirming the transfer. Avenue X at Cicero (talk) 12:12, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, he has just been presented by Atletico Madrid, see the Atletico Madrid official web page. Pelotas^talk^|^contribs 14:45, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that's really confusing. That release doesn't even mention Chelsea or loan. We'll have to wait to see something from CFC too. Ged UK 16:32, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, there's a Chelsea release now, so I've updated the lead and cited it. I think it's safe to unprotect now. Ged UK 16:46, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well I guess everyone's happy now, but Courtois was officially an Atletico player last Friday 22nd, as you can see confirmed here: http://www.clubatleticodemadrid.com/Web/noticia/template_noticia/noticia1.php?idnoticia=26051&previo=0. Also this page: http://clubatleticodemadrid.com/en/primerequipo/jugadores.asp hasn't been updated in over a year, so don't use that as a source. And also, NEVER refer to Atlético as 'Madrid', because that is a huge insult. If that's not enough for you, he was TRAINING on Sunday 24th http://www.clubatleticodemadrid.com/Web/noticia/template_noticia/noticia1.php?idnoticia=26121&previo=1. He would have obviously been a Chelsea player by then. All you people insisting to keep him as a Genk player, how about doing some more research? I am still waiting for an apology from that Mythical Curse guy who was insistent on keeping the page with wrong info . It's not my fault Chelsea were slow to confirm the deal, but luckily while the page was protected, the correct information was displayed. I await your explanations, thanks. --Summerfield29 (talk) 23:41, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
