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.

Probably yes. In fact as impressive as Levi has been Silva is still lightyears ahead of him as he is still one of the best CBs in the PL and Europe so whilst I get being ruthless - there is being ruthless and getting rid of the poor players but there is also being so blinded by the long term that we forget the short term.

This rebuild has to happen but it will still take 12-18 months to properly make some traction because of the size of the squad and the job. For another season someone like Thiago could be invaluable, on and off the pitch. 

Would much rather see us get rid of Koulibaly and Chalobah before Silva. In fact would much rather we got rid of any of the other CBs before Silva because right now he is still the best one we’ve got comfortably.

My highlight was when he was isolated 1 on 1 with a fresh Darwin Nunez, a guy 15years younger, he just waited for the right moment and not only slide tackled the ball off him but also made it ricochet off Nunez legs to win back posession. What a boss.

What's crazy is that 3 years ago when we got him PSG didn't want to extend his contract, no top team after him, he was close to Fiorentina and we got him for possibly one year stop gap. Now his 4th season here and not slowing down at all.

What a man, what a player. This is THE type of player that the youngsters need to look up to. The level of commitment, the level of class, and how he presents himself is just top drawer.

One of my personal all time favourite Chelsea players. Such a joy to watch. Thank you Legend. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

We are privileged to have had him in our team, especially for such long time. Club was in terrible condition(lol) when he joined, he was for free and 36 already.. Everyone thought, maybe one or two seasons. Four is beyond all expectations, as well as CL/CWC/ESC titles. In his prime years, he was one of the top CB-s in the world, and even at late stage in his carreer he showed how permanent class is. His spell was not a flawless fairy tale, but I'm still happy we did not miss out on him.

 

Defense in this season has been a mess, he received plenty of criticizm. Partly they were fair, he got tired indeed, body and mind I think. But still it's been a huge boost having him in the squad when having so many injury issues.

Absolute legend this guy, dropped in as kinda random mercenary, put the work in, defied limitations of human body but most importantly shown the character and commitment that some of our academy players lack. Utter respect.
