Everyone's worried about pace but our bigger issue is getting ripped apart from corners and set pieces. Central defenders being slow isn't a massive issue. Some of the best there have ever been weren't known for their pace. Hopefully we'll have a fit kante all season and fast fullbacks so it shouldn't be a problem

Oh, the lack of pace will be an issue if we aren't careful with the pressing and defensive line. If we get it right, then good. If not, we risk another AVB situation.

Of course as with most things. But our current defence and keeper situation is shocking. So taking a punt on an experienced veteran for relatively cheap doesn't seem too risky and is a positive that we are starting to address our problems.

On paper, Thiago Silva seems like a decent signing and we won't lose much either if it doesn't work. But I'll reserve my judgment till I see him play for us, if he joins us.

If he's shit then we're stuck the wage bill but at least we have an experienced head in the dressing room and someone who is a true captain (which I think is something we have missed since JT has gone not that anyone will ever replace him)
.
And if he's good then great. My point being there's minimal risk to the reward and given how we are working on spending a lot of money this window getting some players for cheap to bolster the squad sounds good.

Time will tell. Could all be bullshit by the agent to get bigger offers. Who knows

Seems like it could come down to the contract length. Fiorentina are apparently offering him a 2-year deal. Will we offer 2 years to a 36-year-old...?

Would be a big u turn for the clubs current model

They did offer 2 years to Luiz and Willian but at least they are in their early 30s. The club might view it differently for someone in their late 30s.

Given its not a position whereby you should drop of a cliff in terms of performances as extremely as positions reliant on pace etc I'd like to think they'd offer a 2 year for the right wage. But who knows. JT and Frank didn't get that offer in their mid 30s
