Metro saying that GdS are reporting that Benatia wants to move to Chelsea. Never seen much of this guy, what do people think?

One of the best stoppers in Europe atm, top 5 Imo.

Great CB and one of the best defenders in seria a last season, would be a great signing if true.

Terry, Benatia, Cahill and Zouma would be a good combination of centre halfs.

Terry, Benatia, Cahill and Zouma would be a good combination of centre halfs.

Cahill will start. 30M for a back up?

We also have Ivanovic

Cahill will start. 30M for a back up?

I don't think Cahill would start over Benatia..

Cahill will start. 30M for a back up?

I think eventually Terry will be moved to be a back up.

I don't think he can last that long.

Maybe this year is the year in which we transition Terry out for someone new.

Maybe this guy might be it.

We also have Ivanovic

Who will only play RB under Jose unless a case of emergency.

We could do with a bit of cover in the CB position. Not sure about spending the sort of money reported. Is Gazzetta reliable?

[The Skipper 20,609]

Cahill will start. 30M for a back up?

Benatia is better than Cahill, and eventually JTs career at the top will end so it wouldn't be paying £30m for a back up.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Is Gazzetta reliable?

Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica, La Gazzetta dello Sport. That would be the order.

I can't think of a better replacement for Terry.

Benatia is a beast.

[Daniel1980 1,425]

Benatia is a top class CB. Probably the best centre-back in Serie A last season. Would love to get him. If we do get him, I doubt he'll be a back up. He's too good to be a back up.

Come on Ash! Do some sweet talks to this guy like Joey did to Hazard!
