Imagine if Silva was player / coach. Takes me back to the time Hoddle was here and always looked the best player on the pitch.

It wont happen, the owners are too stupid to see a good thing, he is looking to play in the world cup but needs to play for 4-5 months to prove his fitness to Carlo also we need to sell Tosin for it to happen

Saying that, a 36 year old Thiago Silva is still better than any of our CB's.

Now, 41, he'd STILL be arguably our best CB, definitely still quality enough for the odd start or three.

Well that ends that, he has signed for Porto

Disappointed. Makes me think it was the club who didn't want him back and it wouldn't surprise me if this hierarchy don't want him hin back at all.

It’s that upsetting it doesn’t even get to be in full caps.

Love the guy, but signing a 41 year old is not the way we want to go, and he probably didn't want it either.

No but sadly that 41 year old is a better center than anyone we have in our squad. Colwill included.

And is not even close.

We can but dream of a return of both Ancelotti as manager and Thiago Silva as assistant, being mentored to eventually take over when Carlo finally leaves or retires.

Sadly no. Silva was absolutely elite at so many aspect of the game. If we still play 3 man defense, not man to man, he is still absolute class.

But in this man to man, super high line that a lot of team are playing, it is not possible for silva to play.

Maresca 100% would have used Thiago as a left wingers because the man is a f**king idiot.
