Mix review from the description I get out there. At one point he is described to be the best 1-on-1 defender, which is always a plus for me, but at another, it's said there is still a gap between him and guehi who I do not rate that highly.

It' good to have a pacey CB but more importantly it's the brain like thiago silva, vincent kompany that is needed to marshal the defence.

A pacey CB with a brain like Thiago Silva or Vincent Kompany, that is a good 1 on 1 defender probably goes to a CL league, like PSG to replace Marquinhos or RM to replace Rudiger

It's only for this 1 season, Chelsea do belong to CL and have a top 4 or at the very least top 5 squad. Last season was anomaly due to maresca head's was turned and blueco messed up his immediate replacement. With decent manager, I reckon Chelsea would have easily finished in the CL qualification's berth.

Next season onwards if you look at the contenders, both city & liverpool have lost their proven manager, their squad are not that great as they used to be. The hipster contenders like villa and newcastle just got weaken with their main players leaving. I reckon carrick would have similar effect like ole for man united. Only arsenal that looks okay but with arteta, you will never know.

 
A pacey CB that has a brain like Thiago Silva, is a great 1 vs 1 defender and can marshal the defence; doesn't exist.

This isn't 2005.

No, we should be signing this non existent perfect player rather than one that is real and actually suits the team gap we have.

The desperation to hunt for clouds in sliver linings continues....

Just putting it our there. This still isn't done yet is it? I have seen nothing to say that this is finalised and complete

 
He is on holiday after the world cup. Perhaps we wait until after he returns, or after the Welbeck and Henderson photoshoot.

Or we've bungled it. Can never rule that one out.

Technically, so was Rogers

True. As he pointed out though Cole would not stop bothering him with messages, phone calls and snap chats so he probably though he best get it done if he wants any peace on his holiday.. Lol

 
Excellent signing, proper value in this ridiculous market too.

 
As several have already said decent price in todays market, same as Van Hecke who only had a year left on contract.

Haven't really seen the guy enough to express an opinion although my Brother in Law is big Palace fan and regards him highly. Good buy for the price in his opinion and thinks he will form a good connection with the fans or at least he did at Palace.

 
He spoke to three players who all will hopefully not be here this coming season!!
He watched them play football then just to make sure he then spoke to them and knew for certain he was going to start ahead of them.
