I'm saying on a season basis... 3 centre backs is very bare, and yes we did win the champions league without him, but i would have rather had another centre back in there. Especially with Ivan sometimes playing rb, and Luiz sometimes playing midfield. Cahill for me, is a great second string, but imo he isn't a first team centre back atm. True on the mls front regarding money, but they would have him and still pay him a fair chunk. IF it is true, (which I doubt), then it could be tempting, but he has a lot of money, and perhaps he just doesn't want to go to Gala. I think especially with Jose coming, he could really be utilised much better. Atm rafa doesn't play him, say he isn't 100 percent. JT says he is perfectly fit. Jose would be able to manage that situation much better.
