Melanicus 5,208 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Skysports.com understands Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas has made signing a new British central defender one of this top priorities in this summer's transfer market.New Blues chief Villas-Boas has earmarked the heart of theChelsea defence as an area of the side that needs strengthening and he is now weighing up his targets.There have been rumours over the future of Brazilian defender David Luiz with Barcelona and Real Madrid both linked with the Benfica man so Chelsea could be in the market for defensive reinforcements.Sources now believe Villas-Boas is drawing up a list of British talent to bolster his defence, which includes Bolton defender Gary Cahill and Birmingham star Scott Dann.Cahill and Dann have both been linked with moves away from their clubs with a host of top teams keen to bolster their defensive options this summer.Arsenal are believed to have Cahill and Dann on their wanted list as Arsene Wenger looks to bring in a dominant defender to shore up his rearguard after struggling at the back last season.Tottenham have also been linked with a move for Cahill with Spurs boss Harry Redknapp thought to be offering players in exchange for the former Aston Villa man.Dann's future has been the subject of intense speculation all summer following Birmingham's relegation from the Premier League.The 24-year-old has proved to be a massive success at St Andrew's and he has established himself as one of the best young defenders in the country.The 6ft 5in stopper is seen by many seasoned observers as a future England international having represented his country at Under 21 level.Aston Villa and Liverpool are also thought to be weighing up moves for Dann, while Stoke have already seen a bid rejected for the former Coventry man.It is believed Dann is desperate to stay in the Premier League and could represent value for money at around the £10million mark making him a better option than Cahill because of his price tag.The race for both Dann and Cahill is expected to hot up in the next few weeks with a host of the Premier League's top clubs ready to battle it out with each other for the services of the duo. http://www.skysports...7013209,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yes, happy to see that too, but do we need Center Backs?Yes. With Terry & Alex all ageing and Bruma seeming to go on loan. We need to start thinking of permanent replacements to line up with Luiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest justin_3d Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 We dont need him!!!Keep Luiz only if we sell alex and ivanovic!Never liked both of them!I am still wondering if AVB might consider putting David Luiz in another spot....If that's the case we will need a new CB, and Cahill will amazing for me.

Guest justin_3d Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Carlo Chelsea legend?lol now that is the stupidest thing i have ever heard.And that is why i could care less what some people say when i judge a player like Terry.Because if they can't respect Carlo as a legend, why the hell should i respect Terry as a legend?As having seen what Carlo did for Chelsea giving us the best season ever!

chrismada9 1,948 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) If this is leading up to the thought that David Luiz might be sold then I'm not going for it!We don't need another centreback, we are fully covered at the back! If we really wanted some British mettal in that position, then we should have kept hold of Mancienne while we had the chance. I know his mind was fixed away from us, but the club could have at least convinced him before they brought Boas in!

Then you've got anyone from Cudicini and Ferreira to Ballack or Cole who were all excellent/loyal/consistent for us but their Chelsea career simply can't hold a candle to the ones I mentioned before.I tend to be quite careful with the use of that word.

Osgood, Zola, Lampard, made their records, and are regarded as legend.Mourinho made his record and is regarded a legend.Likewise Carlo made his record first season, and because of that he is a legend.
