Gary Cahill

Don't think he'll have any shortage of good options. He can go to any low to mid table PL side and improve most of them.

thank you for everything Cahill, he was a really good servant of the club, a consumate professional, he came in for 7 million pounds, was it? in January 2012, and who would have tought he would play a huge part in the most important game in Chelsea's history, he put in a huge shift in defence alongside Terry and Luiz for the 2nd part of that season, specialy during FA Cup and the Champions League run, most importantly in the semi-final vs Barca and the final against Bayern. That night in Munich will live forever in the minds and hearts of Chelsea supporters and Cahill is one of the big heroes that night, overcoming injury to play in a Champions league final, and a very important one at that, its not easy at all, considering he ended up playing 120 min, thats mind and physicaly tiring for anyone. Anyway, he played his big part in the other titles that followed, in total he won 2 Premier League titles, 1 Champions League, 2 Europa League titles, 1 League Cup, 2 FA Cups. KTBFFH always Cahill, forever a blue, goodluck on your next adventure 🏆🔥💪😊👏

I wonder if Villa and Terry go for him

Crystal Palace have signed him. Surprised it's taken till now for someone to do so.

JT taught him to be fearless and face the shot.

Good servant of the club, bit unfairly treated, but at top level two bad games and youre out.

He's won it all he's won it all Gary Cahill he's won it all.

Good move for him and good luck to him. Will forever be a club hero for his heroics in 2012 and captaining us to the 2017 league title.

in his prime he was quite solid

Should fit in with Hodgson's counter-attacking/pragmatic football.

Probably he wanted longer vacation. Free agents always do this.

He's been on vacation for the last 12 months, TBF.

Good move for him. Surprised that Everton or even Wolves didnt take a look at him to be fair. Still think he can play above Palace and Burnley (another team who were credited with interest) level but he will play every week still.

Cahill's ability on the ball is average at best and with Everton and Wolves playing a more progressive style, he's not going to suit their defence or be first choice.

Perhaps but Zouma is hardly better on the ball and he played every week at Everton. The guys a French international and he looks below bang average on the ball.

He's a lot quicker and arguably more mobile than Cahill at the very least.

Yes true but you need more than that. Which is why I still have doubts regarding Kurt, he was good when he broke in with Jose here but he did always rely on pace to bail him out. Positionally he improved at Stoke and Everton a bit but playing CB for them and for Chelsea is a different thing altogether. Dont think pre season has gave anybody a huge chunk of confidence either, the whole back 4 in general. Would of took 40m off Everton for him in a heartbeat and rathered Tomori who looks more comfortable positionally.

Are we talking about Cahill here or Zouma? I'm not convinced by Zouma either and think he's a bit of disaster waiting to happen, especially when paired with Luiz.

Zouma. Definitely agree on that. Luiz is probably gonna be an undoubted started too....
