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 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...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 killer1257, Muzchap, Valdo and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is bar none the most sensible decision that at the very least improves our back line. DANILA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valdo 583 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Only having Thiago in the dressing room would be worth it, many of the kids probably look up to him from our academy and even our defenders probably. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it be on a 1 year deal? Can he live with the pace in epl? The risk of getting injured is only higher the older you are and at this level I cant see him be the answer. Hey it might work but its risky. If he still had it im sure other clubs would be in for him. He is 36, playing in the most demanding league....might as well kept hold of DL then.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 As one of the most intelligent defenders of his generation he could teach our cbs a thing or too for sure. I dont think he would add much playing himself, he does not have the time to get acclimatized to the league etc. but alone trianing with him might make zouma etc step up a bit. also looks fit enough to play another year at least in the cups wecould use him as we probably will loan out tomori so as 4th cb why not. should not be the only cb signing tho Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Fans have been crying out for a defensive coach sign him for a season and offer him a coaching role after that. Keeper and defence are a shambles anything is better then what we've got at the moment only Aspi potentially won't be sold the rest of them we should listen to offers. If there was the usual pre season break there would be quite a few departures unfortunately we only have a matter of weeks so we're stuck with them.

Pizy 18,936 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Silva as a 1 year stopgap while Timo Werner taps up Upamecano for months and we trigger his release clause next summer. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Our good relationship with RB Leipzig should give us the leg up.

And they will be so expensive but we cannot afford it because we are splashing cash elsewhere. Look at Thiago Silva. Dont look any further. Free agent in 6 days, world class in everything, leader... Yes 36 next month, but he is still at top level. Give him 2 years contract, we will not regret it I promise. Exactly the type of player we need. Can not see any better options available right now, considering price, contracts and everything... Dunk for 40-50m? Hahaha. I wrote this yesterday and now this rumors? Also on Sarri thread I said how Roma could be a option for Jorginho and also rumor today about this. Sometimes I think these journalists find stories to write by reading things online...

Silva without the quality around him at PSG and at 36 is a hard pass. I tell you what a gamble is, playing anyone of Rudiger or Alonso next season and they are our players.

milka 3,393 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Signing Thiago Silva on a one year deal with the option of a second would be ideal. He’s got a wealth of experience at the top level, which this squad lacks, and would automatically be our best CB. We’ve complained about a lack of leaders. Here’s one of the best. Sign him up. Considering the fact that we're going to spend €80-90m on Havertz & We're still looking to buy a new LB and GK, so getting Thiago Silva for free would be a great deal. Yeah. 36 years next month but Leader . Sign him . Thiago Silva- Rudiger/ Zouma looking better . Puliiszola and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
