Didn't know him so had to get Mrs Google out.

But seems well suited to a Sarri team. Cant see much wrong with him apart from he likes short passes but a weakness is passing!! hmmmm! Ive seen that a few times on Whoscored,

Rugani seems to be nearly done, so i strongly doubt we‘re trying to sign another Juve defender.

Are we going to have starting eleven of centre backs... ?

Chelsea transfer news: Blues offer £40m for defender Mattia Caldara after switching focus from Juventus teammate Daniele Rugani

Dont know him but weak passer??

[Pizy 18,409]

Juve fans seem to rate him much higher than Rugani.

Oh come on we all know this is not gonna happen and we are gonna end up with another Djilobodji

also why should we even consider doing business with Juve again. They are clearly not taking Marina seriously. Pogba, Sandro, Rugani we all know how it ends

one thing I noticed abou Caldara tho is that he is quit a goalscorer for a cb. Roughly a goal every 5 matches in Serien A. Maybr we want to have Alonso and this guy as our goal threats bc Hazard, Morata, Willian et al just dont cut it up front

I posted a really detailed comparison in the Rugani thread. Rugani is a better passer, yes, Caldara is more the hard nose enforcer type.

My own fault mate.

Sometimes I look at long write ups and I think I'll read it later then forget to

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Much better than Rugani. 

But tbh neither screams "yess get him". 

We dont realy need Cb, but if we were to buy one, Id expect already proven one instead of these kids who did jack shit so far and wouldnt make our defence any stronger instantly. Meanwhile f the club wants to give CBs time, then give it to AC and Zouma ffs.

Just wait as we sell Zouma, sign some average dude and Zouma becomes top 3 CB in league within 2 seasons. But sell him because he isnt great passer

People forget how good he was two seasons ago and he certainly didnt have worse season with Stoke.

Hate to say it (as I was an insanely huge fan, and I REALLY thought he had top ten CB in world eventually written all over him) BUT

Zouma is perma damaged goods

He is never going to fully recover, IMHO, from that cruciate ligament nightmare 2 years ago.

Italian media speculating 55mill plus morata for this fella and higuain

Happy was one of my fave players at the time and really thought we had a star.

I hoped the loan would sort him out. (Hoped RLCs would too tho) but maybe he might need another just to get his head strong. I do hope he can get over it.

Go for it Sarri – Why shelling out £40million for this talented Italian sensation is a brilliant move for Chelsea

Seems like the Caldera,Bonucci deal and Higuain loan deal to Milan is going thru
