He’s looked steady so far in the CL final. Calm on the ball against Bayern’s press. You would never guess he’s as old as he is, moves quite well.

looked really good so far in the final

He’d easily be one of the best CBs in the league if we get him. Still class.

Watching him tonight we would be insane not to take this man on a free 

He certainly doesn't look or play like a 35 year old

After 90 minutes all I can say is that he does his job, he walks in our starting lineup any day of the week like this even if he is 35-36.

Neuer saved at least 3 clear-cut chances, if only the overpaid Neymar knew how to solve an important game...

Yep he's still got it, sign him up

The midfield of PSG is terrible, the forwards have nothing to go on. 

I’m all for it if that performance is anything to go by. 

Impressive performance. Get this man a ticket.

For all the talents he possesses, he's just not the winner like Messi or CR7.

I've honestly only seen him have 1 good game. He was laughably bad tonight. 

Sadly he's 35, top defender.

He's 35 and just come up against the most ruthless attack in the whole of world football at the moment and one of the most insane attacks I've seen in a long long time from a team. A team that has just been steam rolling everyone including us and Barca and look how well T.Silva played?

Its almost criminal if we dont sign him up because of his age or whatever. JT had one of his best ever seasons at 34 and it wasn't too long ago that Silva was the worlds best CB at one point anyway. The experience he would bring would be immense and he's a real leader. Put any one of our current CB's next to him and he would instantly make them better.

Just have to hope the deal does go through and Lampard's defensive tactics improve.

He didn't look a day over 28. Moves well.

Shame for the goal though. He can't mark everyone.

On SS just, it said he's on his way to W london, on a Yrs contract??

Kinda hoping we sign him for more than a year. That experience can help teach our young players. Maybe he would be interested in a player and then player coach deal after a couple of seasons.

He wants to return to Paris when he retires.

Everything can change, but in his goodbye statement towards the PSG fans, he said that he loved the club vey much and want to come back in a different role there. First he wants to play for another 3-4 years. 

Lots of rumours saying that it’s almost a done deal and he wants to come to Chelsea. Presuming any final decision was to be made after the CL final. 
 

One of the things the media talked about was his leadership qualities which his something that we are severely lacking. In the absence of an obvious top quality defender being available, I think it’s a sensible short term fix. Buys us time to identify the right player rather than waste money.

I heard that we are offering him a 2 year deal

I still believe it's far from over. I mean from the player's perspective. Usually having countrymen comes in handy when negotiating with Latino player. Willian is gone, Luiz is gone, we've got bunch of English youngsters, big German and Francophone groups, Kepa is probably gone, Alonso is probably gone and we are left with Dave and Jorginho.... and I don't count Dave as part of any groups now, he is the captain.. I don't know. It doesn't seem like a warm environment for a 35-year old proven veteran, who probably doesn't speak the language, to come in new country and see only unfamiliar faces that he is about to command. From what I've seen this is important to players from this region. Hope I'm wrong. 

A player like Thiago Silva demands respect from his team mates, I’m sure he won’t have a problem commanding the back line. Our current centre backs certainly will look up to him.

Hearing the deal is close on a 2 year deal with an option for a 3rd...
