Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Silva would be a great deal on a free, not even a debate for me. If we can convince him and agree wages he will be a quality addition to our squad for both ability and leadership. The big people are reporting this as well as Chilwell deal.....really exciting times. iceboy and kellzfresh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liuxas 125 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I have feeling that he gonna fail in PL. He's to old and to slow already for high speed competition like BPL.The Athletic have their point and I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,326 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I just find it weird that any negotiations are going on with Silva just two days before his most important game in a career. That's why I did not believe Daily Mail story about Florence. Puliiszola 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 In terms of pace, imagine having Silva and Alonso in the back 4 while trying to play a high defensive line... Supermonkey92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milka 3,393 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 From Drinkwater, Bakayoko , Baba , Barkley , Zappacosta to Werner , Ziyech , Havertz , Chillwell , Thiago Silva and new GK . Insane That's a mad transfer window if they all join...might be one of the best we have ever done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just in shit player recruitment but also last minute panic buys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks very athletic and proactive coming out of his goal with good timing. He has crazy long arms and hands. When he just stands he can move hand and wrist above the crossbar. Looks weird but this is why doesnt usually make saves with outstretched arms like a normal goalkeeper. The big downside I see is that he parries most shots right back into the danger area like courtois did at atletico. 1 hour ago, Ryan Fong said: Sorry for my limited knowledge but who is Edouard Mendy?

From most of what I've seen Silva plays as the right sided CB so thankfully we wouldn't have to see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but doesn't matter in the bigger picture. If we're trying to play the high line with those 2, then we better make sure our pressing game is spot on. Otherwise, we better drop back or risk getting picked apart by simple long balls over the top, similar to what we saw in the FA Cup final.
