Simon Phillips saying we have been offered Thiago Silva

I'm sorry I'd have him here for his experience alone.....Still a very good player.

I'd take Silva for a year for sure, maybe he can teach those defenders of us something.

[Valdo 583]

I suggested Silva before on a free, I'd take him in a heartbeat for a year. Problem is I have no clue what wages he would demand.

[Pizy 18,368]

Isn't he like 40?

For 1 season as a stopgap I'd have him I guess.

36 next month.

Still looked really good in the CL, although that's only a couple of games. 

[Tomo 21,733]

All things considered i don't think Silva would be bad atall, he still looks pretty good when I've seen him.

[Artandur 939]

Makes too much sense, not gonna happen.

Even on a free for one year its a gamble. Silva without the quality around him at PSG and at 36 is a hard pass.

Yes. Yes please!!!

Him and Zouma would the perfect partnership for next season. Both french speaking, Silva with experience and being still a high level technical defender alongside Zouma, who is a great 1 vs 1 defender that wins almost every header. Perfect partnership
One season after that, we can try buying someone younger

How is it a gamble? We'll have an experienced CB, on a free, to partner our current CB's who are in desperate need of a leader. 

This will fix our CB issue whilst we focus on bringing Havertz in.

In dire need of a leader and some experience. No fees, only wages. We should jump all over this if it's legit and we have a chance.

In what shape or form will a 36 year old Silva fix our issues? This is not a peak Silva, he will be eaten alive in epl......

Still better than Stones and Dunk, and is a free transfer so no risk really...

Are you serious? 

For one, his IQ as a central defender is miles above anyone we currently have. He's experienced, can play out of the back, great at set pieces, and most importantly, he's composed. He has all the qualities our current CB's lack. He would not only be a good short fix, but this would free up funds for a GK and LB. 

Genuinely mystifying there a sum that would be against this

He is not fast enough, not strong enough and only getting worse. JT too has an IQ and a leader, he would still get eaten alive today in epl. Let Arsenal and the likes to these deals, we shouldnt imo. Either get quality or wait it out. All these Dunk's and Stones and Silva's they will not fix our issues....imo.

I'd rather Thiago Silva for a year, on a free, than who we've currently been linked with. It is bar none the most sensible decision that at the very least improves our back line.
