Yep few years too late.

Still expected more from someone of his calibre though, but sometimes these moves don’t work out. 

Under either Mourinho, Sarri or Conte 6 or 7 years ago he would of been a different animal. 

Give the guy a break. It was his first season in a new country with 3 different managers. As if settling into the country wasnt hard enough for him how much more having to work with so many different systems and managers??? Criticism of KK by some Chelsea fans has been so unfair!!!

I don’t think its unfair to have expected more from him. He’s been one of Europe's best/highly thought of CBs over the past 7 or 8 seasons, a very proven and experienced player. Not a kid, a 30/31 year old who yeah sure he might of been a lot better next season but I think the clubs willingness to sell after one season maybe says it all.

The criticism is always going to be it didn’t work out for him here and many, myself included, expected more. Whats unfair about that? He did have a few decent games actually playing against Dortmund in particular he looked good in that back in the middle role of that back 3 but he also had some games where he was pretty poor. Just think he was maybe a yard or two off the pace of the PL.

He is the archetypal 'used to have pace, now have lunge' spent force
