Or lampard took him out of the firing line abit to get him some confidence back, we dobt no exactly the reasons behind it, I for one hope he comes good because that money on a new keeper could come in very handy 

There is only so many times the world's most expensive keeper can be taken out of the firing line. It has happened twice and the second time feels like a definite statement, the straw that broke the camel's back.

Oral agreement between Chelsea and Thiago Silva around a two-year contract. Only signing left for the Brazilian to become a Blues #Mercato#RMCLive

Fabrizio Romano says here Though Silva to CFC here we go he signs for two years.

NOT UNTIL WE HAVE OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION!

At this rate we may actually get multiple announcements on the same day. The stuff of transfer muppets dreams!

€125K per week. Massive pay cut I'd imagine?

In many ways I'm as excited about Thiago Silva as I am Kai. I'm not delusional enough to think we'll get his absolute prime (which was for me his Milan days) but I do think he will make a huge difference in terms of organisation and leadership plus he's been one of my favourites down the years so on a personal level it feels like the time we signed Crespo. He's like Zlatan in the sense he doesn't play like he's 36.

We were never spending big on a CB after all the cash commited into our attack, LB and possibly still goalie, if we got a CB it would have been a penny pinching deal and this is as good as we could have realistically hoped for.

That said we will probably have to lower our line a bit for him but with the consistent quality we now have going the other way it's something we should be able to do with results not being too erratic.

Please, if you all get time go to the Arsenal forum and read the pure and utter jealousy they are spouting about our spending

They are putting starting lines ups for them including Coutinho, Partey, Aouar saying we tear up Chelsea in defence, our midfield is way better and our forward line, they aren't a worry to us

[ZAPHOD2319 4,543]

Red Cafe is talking more about us, than ManU, but they are pretty civil saying how we have been very good in this transfer window.

Yep, I've been reading ArseMania as well. That FA Cup win has blown their confidence wayyyyy up to the point of extreme delusion. Reading RedCafe and a good number of the United fans think Silva is a good signing. Just about every Arse fan on their forum is laughing and saying he's terrible. As if they have prime Tony Adams at the back. Silva would instantly be their best defender! 😂

I still maintain my prediction that Arse will finish nowhere near top 4 again. Don't care who they buy. You just know the lads on AFTV will be talking about the title in the lead up to the season starting. 😂😂😂

I looked, it is bad. Good night they are crying hard about every signing we made.... Are there any starters left???

The jealousy is there though. United fans hammering their own board while praising ours.
