Doubt anyone here watch him even once, let alone extensively to give a summary. I think we can only hope he is a Zouma/Varane defender and not the flavor of the month who just had one good season because I never heard of him before until we are linked a few weeks ago.

Would rather us go for experienced back up tbh. Coentrao would be a nice signing if he wasn't too expensive.

Jose has said a few weeks ago that he doesn't want a Portuguese players this summer. And he said same thing last summer, as I can remember.

he is a strong guy, fast, has a good attacking contribution, can run the whole game up and down. weaknesses are in the defensive area: positioning sometimes, sometimes also timing etc. still a bit rough in the defensive part but he is quite good at going forward. even though Luis at the moment is the far superior defender, but it is Mous secret why he hasnt gotten any chance to prove himself here.

I think this will be an excellent signing. He will become a great defender for Mourinho and he already has excellent physicality, speed, tackling, delivery. One of the positions Chelsea need the most.

Add to this the fact that he is still 20 and has room to develop he looks like a gem. Hope he either grabs amazing chances and benches Brana or waits one year of his development, because I'm confident Jose won't be playing with a 33 year old slow CB at RB in a year. lol

Very decent salary, somehow remedies the outrageous pricetag. Not that we don't have the money, we surely have but that is like 28m €, the 5th most expensive foreign signing of a Bundesliga player ever. Right now he is just above average imo, especially defensivelyhe has to improve. Surely not the level of Bertrand or Luis yet. Not sure if he will ever reach that level at all.

i think the quoted prices are 20mil euros not pounds.

They want 22-25 mil. euro, which is close to what we're getting for Filipe. So, no problem, with that. Plus he's you make him sound like he is jack shite, when he actually is pretty good and has immense potential. His workrate and crossing ability are the reason we're getting him,imo.

Which would be absolutely wasted here at Chelsea as he'd have to protect JT, though, and couldn't get up and down the flank.

jt could deteriorate at any moment at this age. we should be preparing for life without him , as well as protecting him when he does play.
