Chelsea Transfers

[Special Juan 27,104]

Thiago Silva has been offered to Chelsea by his agent days ago. Chelsea are seriously considering him as an option but Thiago wants some days more to decide his next club. He’s focused on the final then he’ll choose. Also Fiorentina and 3 more clubs contacted him.

Sorry for my limited knowledge but who is Edouard Mendy?

A free transfer for 1 year would be ace for everyone involved. So long as he is protected by the midfield in front of him his deteriorating athleticism could be masked.

We can go big on a world class CB next summer.

A quick Google, he's 6ft 6. That tells me hes already better than Kepa...

Only way to make sense of the Thiago Silva reports are to read it with reports of Declan Rice deal looking unlikely, Xavier Mbuyamba signing for the development team.

Silva for free would be fantastic for us. Proven defender. I hope we will sign him.

LOL fair enough. Just saw quotes from Lollichon and it seems he rates this Mendy guy pretty high.

Mendy's youtubes look good, but they only put in the best clips.

Angelo Mangiante says we are now leading the race for Silva.

This long lost big brother of Ferlan and Benjamin mendy (jk) apparently has conceded just 19 goals int eh french league this season (albeit playing just 24 games). and kept a cleansheet in 13 of 33 overall games which is an impressive ratio for an average side like Rennes. He is already 28 tho. With him Rennes finished 3rd last season btw so maybe we should trust lollichon on this one. Honestly never seen a single minute of him before.

@VesperI'm sure you already talked about him at some point, but what's your take on this Mendy guy?

According to the Athletic we are in advanced talks to sign Thiago Silva on a free transfer

I thought he was going back to Italy?

The Sun: 

Chelsea are in “advanced talks” with Paris Saint-Germain skipper Thiago Silva over completing a shock summer free transfer, reports claim.

The Brazilian is about to play his final game for PSG in Sunday's Champions League final after eight years of exceptional service.

But while representing the Ligue 1 giants in Lisbon, talks over Silva's new club have been brewing in the background.

And The Athletic report that talks have reached an “advanced” stage, with both parties having been in conversation for “several days”.

There are still issues to be ironed out, however, primarily the length of the 35-year-old's contract.

Tweets from people I don't know saying Shay Given will be a goal keeper coach at Chelsea. Same rumours in 2019.

Best video of Ed Mendy I found so far. 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.
