TS is probably looking round that dressing room at some thinking "you self entitled cunts"

 

Not like he wasn't PSG player before, so it shouldn't be very new situation to him… 👀

[OneMoSalah 8,616]

Obviously his comments are aimed at the owners and the infrastructure. Boehly & Eghbali wont be happy but at least someone internally has the balls to speak out about their role in this season.

Yeah, everybody knows it, but say it aloud is very brave and rather extreme move, unseen in times of corporate correctness. Risky, but in only show how on the edge the players who actually care are…

He has his heart in the right place, which is unlike most at the club judging by this season. Let's hope those making the decisions take note rather than having a word directly with him for saying what most believe.

That rumor came from a picture that he was holding from his boyhood club with his name and a number 3. The picture was taken when he was training with the team while he was home. It was a gift from the team, who of course would love to have him back. Other than that photo there is nothing to suggest it. He is settled in London and his son is excelling in the Chelsea academy. I think he is a point in his life that his decisions will be about what is best for his family.

Lets hope not. He’s the only guy this season who has played ok. would probably be in the bottom 3 without him.

But again if he chose to leave I wouldn’t be surprised - if its even a doubt in his mind then the new manager has a lot to do to try make him stay.

His comments after the Real Madrid game give the impression he is perhaps disillusioned with how things are at the club. He is also probably thinking he is realistically only going to get one or two more years out of his career so perhaps he may look to go for one more move?

Is Silva at this stage of his career better than Levi Coilwill? if no, we should let him go back to Brazil.

We need to be ruthless when assessing the squad for next season.

Ite good to have him around the dressing room as a minimum to be honest.

We need strong characters now more than ever as there is quite clearly a shortage.... it would be idiotic to let one of the senior players who still has game time left in him to go during the current situation we are in.

Whilst it seems to be a focus on long term planning at the club, which I don't have a problem with, we still need to retain some experience within the squad. Jorginho and Rudiger have both left in the last 12 months, and question marks over the futures of players like Kova, Koulibaly and Azpi, we can't just let all of the experience out of the door in one go. It is probably now the time for players like Chilwell, James, Mount if he stays to become 'leaders' within the group but we shouldn't be ridding ourselves of all the top tier experience we still currently have at the club.

It's not the sole reason, but it isn't a coincidence that we saw drop off's in Jose's third season when Cech and Drogba both left, and Conte's second season after the likes of Terry, Ivanovic and Mikel had left despite none of these players playing big roles on the pitch the title winning season before. They still play an important role within the squad to guide and mentor younger players, as well as drive and ensure high standards of professionalism and application in training.

If we were to go into next season for example with 4 centre backs being Silva, Fofana, Badiashile and Colwill - that's three young centre backs at the start of their careers and one with 3 or 4x the amount of games and experience under his belt than the other three combined. His role potentially next season may find himself playing less games (although that's up to the rest to get above his level), but that in no way should detract from how important he could be to that group of young players and their development next season.

If his hearts here, according to his wife he should stay in some capacity, bloke is invaluable
