Gary Cahill

[Sheva. 5,373]

What? Koscielny is absolute garbage

He was.

He's improved a lot this season.

Agreed. Easily their best defender this year. Has the Arsenal fans on his side now as well.

[LondonPride1905 236]

Was just going to write that. He had to just get himself used to England. He is a great deffender and I don't see how Cahill is not inferior to him..

Oh okay, apologies then. I've not really watched them very much this season.

[Tomo 21,681]

Koscielny is in the same boat as Luiz, he makes a couple of mistakes and all everyone gets on his back and assume's he is crap even tho every single stat says otherwise.

Coyle: "Regarding Gary Cahill, there has been dialogue between ourselves and Chelsea. He is a top player and is fully focussed on Bolton."

Looks like done deal

Hum... I am bothered with the price... £7m, for an average player coming from a club which is at the bottom of the table, and at the top of that, he has barely 6 months left on his contract... I find him overpriced. It should have been £5m at maximum.

Hence I hope he won't earn too much.

He's not average, he starts now for England at Cb, ahead of many great cbs, jones,smalling, king etc everyone is playin poor for Bolton this year, but last year he was great. I know he will prove all the people who's saying he's 'average' wrong. ( btw I'm writing this on my iPhone, sorry for poor grammar)

People are actually complaining about paying 5m-7m for a International, 26 year old, experienced in the Premiership, English CB?

Because he's not that good and he's in the final months of his contract.

Except he is and he's shown he is with England aswell as Bolton. There's a reason teams offered for him and why we're desperate to sign him up quickly. He's kept clean sheet on a consistent basis with our captain in CB for England and apart from a freak game against Montenegro they've been very solid and effective together.

That's a decent fee. I'm prepared to wait before I judge him at Chelsea.

Like I read somewhere else.. England would finish like 10th if they were a team in the Premier League. He's not a bad player.. he's 'good'. Wenger had it right when he valued him at £6million at a time where Bolton claimed £15-20million would do it. Fucking LOL.

Fair enough mate!

Looks like the deal is almost done. So, it's better if we stop being pessimistic with Gary Cahill ,and rather support him.

Cahill is a player who has years of experience when it comes to playing in 'tough' EPL. He is strong, tall, can read the game well. Moreover, being an English will help us following those quota rules. With 7 million it is a good deal.

Think it's a bit unfair to judge a player solely on his teams league position.

In Rooney's last season at Everton, Everton finished 17th, didn't mean United made a mistake buying Wayne tho.

You have two types of central backs, stoppers and sweepers. Stoppers are Puyol, Terry, Pepe, Vidić and Silva. Sweepers are Pique, Luiz, Carvalho, Jones and Nesta.

As far as I'm concerned Cahill is sweeper and he's really good for high-line. He passes a lot and you can often see him in the oposition half or even in front of goal.

We can play Ivanović/Luiz/Cahill and Terry in defence. I'm worried about our stoppers, we only have JT.
