Seymop 90 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 This man is just class. If he was prepared to stay as/when he hangs up his boots — he should be offered a coaching role.

Vytis33 1,270 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Could tell he was frustrated he didn't convert on a few earlier chances. Glad he buried that one. Such a class player Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,319 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 FFS no break for Silva, he will play for Brazil on January 27th and February 1st. Still give him at least 5 days off after that, he can miss Plymouth and get match fitness against Al Hilal on February 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made no secret of the fact that playing in the next world cup is the main thing still driving him. This is just a trade off we have to suck up.

International football is as prestigious as it gets for a player though hence why even at 37 or 38, Silva obviously still remains that keen to play. That will not change for as long as football is played. Plus TS is still just as good as anybody out there and still Brazil’s best CB so I don’t get the logic in a coach making such a deal. And anyway, this ‘deal’ your talking about, when do you see this sort of deal with any other big player for a NT? It doesn’t happen. The closest thing to it is when players return from long term injuries and coaches leave them out as it isn’t best suited to make them play.

I disagree, international football sucks and ja rightly shunned by more and more viewers most ppl I know don’t bother watching qualification games and friendlies anymore . the World Cup is still a hit sadly but apart from that not exactly prestigious Messi did this in 2016 btw. Temporarily Resigned from the nt till wc 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Maybe it's a topic of discussion once he's finished up here as hopefully there is much more to come but where do people think Thiago Silva currently ranks amongst free transfer signings for Chelsea? Off the top of my head I think the competition for that 'title' would be Ballack, Poyet, Gullit and Vialli. There are some notable others like Eto'o and Melchiot was a decent signing too on a free but ultimately I think they'd fall below those above.

Temporarily Resigned from the nt till wc 2018 From a players point of view though and I don’t care what anyone says, there is nothing more prestigious than playing international football though. Thats never going to change because of what it is and the level of selection available to these NTs. Particularly for players who are eligible for these bigger historical footballing countries like Brazil, England, France, Germany, Holland etc. Usually when folk ask players whats their proudest moments are, playing for or captaining if their lucky enough to, their country and then trophies are always the most common answers. What Messi did was totally different though. Completely. He retired after the Copa America final they lost in 2016 and had to he talked back to the NT by the manager and team mates. People also forget the fact people like Maradona said if Argentina didn’t win the 2016 Copa America they shouldn’t come back home to Argentina as well as the constant criticism of Messi for not winning/delivering any titles for Argentina for years and years prior to that. He also took another break again due to dysfunctional issues around the Argentine Footballing Association and hows it run which resulted in changes. So not even remotely close.

Vesper 30,175 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Silva breaks own CL record in Chelsea shirt Last night’s performance from Silva even saw him break a personal achievement, according to statisticians OptaJoe. The Brazilian centre-half ended up winning possession from Lille 12 times during the match, which is his highest ever tally in a Champions League game. He’s made 94 appearances and counting in Europe’s elite club competition from his time with Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was a key early 2000's bridge/transition player too 94 goals and 25 assists (87 and all 25 for Chels) for club and country in his 4 years here Does anyone think Lukaku will have 112 total club goals produced in his 4 years (hopefully less!) here? bigbluewillie and Fulham Broadway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Superblue was asking who were the best free signings. But Jimmy was an amazing buy at 15m - partnership with Eidur was pure smash and grab. Could hardly ever head the ball though ! ⛹️♂️ bigbluewillie and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
