Pizy 18,959 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Almost as if he's been told via his agent that Chelsea weren't coming in for him so he went ahead and extended his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 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 kellzfresh, Muzchap, DDA and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,947 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Koulabaly incoming, Oblak incoming, Havertz incoming, Chilwell incoming. Just imagine lol Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Any tall keeper would do. Hell I'd take a 6ft 6 guy whos never been in goal before over kepa. At least he looks intimidating when they're one on one kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get it right, then good. If not, we risk another AVB situation. Supermonkey92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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