Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Let's get it.Some quality and experience that is much needed. Sure we aren't getting peak thiago silva but on a free and given the issues we've had that's a great signing BXL70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azul 1,615 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Massive signing, he's such a good defender short term. He already is the second best CB in the PL, with VVD obviously being the best. My second favourite team after Chelsea is AC Milan. I used to watch him play there with Nesta and I can tell you that he will 100% change our way of defending. Let's hope he becomes a mentor to these young lads, just like he Nesta was to him. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,489 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Unorthodox solution for the centreback spot. Not sure about how he will fare week in week out but a big lift for the dressing room and someome who will set standards everyday. Good to have Brazilians again BXL70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 A few weeks back I wasn't sure about this due to his age and he'd had a couple of injuries in recent times. However watching him in PSG's Champions League run since, I've no doubts and in the short term this could be the key signing of the lot. He's still world class and whilst he might not be as quick as he once was, he still has more than enough pace to contend in the Premier League (what is it with Brazilian defenders, they seem to go on forever!). Not the tallest or most physical of defenders but his anticipation, positional awareness and determination leave him very rarely exposed in any situations. And a genuine ball player at the back. I mentioned on a previous post that a large group of our first team squad will have grown up in their teens or younger watching Thiago Silva as one of the elite centre backs of his generation. It'll be huge for the squad to share a dressing room and train with him. The experience will be critical too with the loss of Pedro and Willian and Lampard gets a player of such high respect and experience that he'll pretty much be an on field coach for the defence too, much like Desailly and Gullit were when they came to Chelsea. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he settles and all things work out if he remains the second season too and Lampard then tries to transition him into his coaching group if that's the route he'd like to take. kc_blue, Fernando, BXL70 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 "I'm here to challenge for honours" Serial winner, standards will be raised in that back line because he'll make sure they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 No disrespect to Azpilicueta he is a big influence at the club, but he is no captain material if you ask me, Thiago Silva should be given the armband the second he steps a foot at Cobham and he should definitely be the loudest on the pitch, genuine WC defender hopefully his presence will have a similar impact to Van Dijk's arrival at Liverpool. Granted they have better defenders, but still T. Silva's presence alone should be of massive importance. Milan and bigbluewillie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
