Random Rumours

Not really. You can see Disasi doing well for Mourinho, Nuno , Dyche or Moyes team.

So let me get this straight, in your own words, Disasi who you can see doing well for relegation-style football for managers who have almost relegated their clubs should be playing ahead of Trevoh if the only quality we want is defending the box?

I go back to my original statement:

You must either be drunk or huffing paint fumes

 
Not really, the main criticism on Chalobah is his aerial and box defending. These are Disasi strengths.

Unfortunately, Disasi's weaknesses (and complete f**k ups) far outweigh any strengths.

 
I actually think getting CBs pairings that work well is a bit of an art.

Also they need a good relationship with the keeper as trust needs to be established.

When we had Terry and Cech it all looked so easy I think those times were an exception rather than the rule.

It's not. You just need to have all the CBs and GKs speak the same language, able to voice concerns on the spot and be good at football.

Terry works well with anyone because he's outspoken, bold and is actually good at football.

Thiago Silva is a bit of an exception but only because he has mastered the art of being a CB

Language and I guess communication is key, what could go wrong different languages and then there is strong accents?

With Terry I guess there were non-verbal cues too.

 
Interesting looking back at the rumours on page 1 of this thread. The likes of Arshavin, Rooney, Jay Boothroyd being linked 😹

In terms of Terry,

When both players are really good at defending but may have language issues, you get Terry-Carvalho

When one is really good whilst the other lesser but communication is good, you get Terry-Gallas.

When one is really good whilst the other average but both speak the same language, you get Terry-Cahill

IMO, You only really need 1 really good CB, you just need the other one to be good enough and can communicate well. What you really don't want but looks good on paper and in conversations are CBs that "cover the weaknesses of the partner"

This. Now what do you want your cb to do?

If you want your cb to defend big space, cbalobah is very good, if you want cb who can defend the box Disasi is better, if you want cb who can do both, open your chequebook and get tier 1 talent cb.

Cahill was an odd one, sometimes costing us a goal yet often scoring too in the same match from set pieces.

Decent rather than great yet his desire to get a goal back was impressive.

 
Cahill was an average CB, he was just decent to good at best, his best quality was goal scoring.

In saying that, if we signed him today, he's easily our first choice without any argument

I thought you said you don't like Disasi. Cahill case is quite similar to Disasi, very good box defender, not so great at defending open space.

You cannot be serious. They share some characteristics but they're miles apart, they don't even belong in the same league. Cahill was consistent, adaptable, can score goals and technically sound.

Cahill also cost like 7M, Disasi was 30+M iirc.

Not really. Cahill biggest weaknes was defending open space. Not a big problem when you are playing for Mou or Conte.

If you ask him to defend the way Rosenior/Maresca want to defend, he will suffer the same fate as Disasi.

Wrong. Cahill's just a better player, you can't just assume player A works in B system but can't work in C system.

Also, I'd want title winning managers' tactics and strategy over mediocre managers who haven't even challenge for league titles.

Sorry to say, this argument about him vs Disasi is nonsense since Cahill came to the club, he never lost his place and won everything with the club under a lot of different managers in one of the most competitive eras of world football. Disasi can't even keep his spot in the team and is largely crap in what is in my opinion the weakest era of football

 
Julian Alvarez [26] is in demand again and wanted by Arsenal and Barcelona. But he is also wanted by Chelsea apparently.
