Night-T Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Ake is the only one I'm not too exited about. Mainly because he is a former player that we again will pay a lot for and he isn't good enough for City. So bit skeptical The other 3 I would be very happy with.

zolawannabe25 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Koulibally would be a very good signing as he could enable Chelsea to integrate colwill into the side without having to chuck him in at the deep end. He also has the physicality that rudiger had. Sexyfootball, RomansRoubles, dkw and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative is you sign two established players that could each do 5+ seasons, which it seems is where we are at with a hit list of De Ligt, Kounde, Skriniar, Ake etc etc .... Colwill has immense promise but I get the impression we are going for experience ... Edited June 30, 2022 by Sexyfootball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM7 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Kalidou Koulibaly is very close to signing for Chelsea. The Senegalese international should commit for 3 years. Cost of the operation 40 million euros! - @FabriceHawkins Hmm…taken from French journalist weetee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sindre Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Koulibaly would be excellent. Just turned 31 so he should have plenty of great years left at CB. He's a top defender. Contract running out as well so should be reasonably priced if we do get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[via @Nathan_Gissing] Would take thar with a large pinch of salt given Koulibaly plays on the left side of defence and Kounde on the right. If anything signing Koulibaly may put an end to going after Ake, and make it so Colwill needs a loan or two more as Koulibaly is not able to play other positions like Ake.

Thiago didn’t spent the bulk of his career in the slowest league in Europe where a 35yr old Bonucci is still starting regularly. As for Thiago no matter how good he is, we need to walk away after this season. He is part of the reason why we can’t play a back 4, and there were signs towards the end of last season where forwards were twisting and turning him.

Guest Sindre Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Sounds like things are moving quickly here. Will love this if we end up signing him personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loz Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Much prefer this option to Kounde and it appears to be picking up pace from more credible sources drjonesy1994 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abramovich Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Probably as good a replacement for Rudiger as we could have got under the circumstances. A bit older than I'd have preferred but in terms of size, experience, leadership and athleticism, he's got it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob stark Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 This can be a very good signing. He will be our main lcb and silva main backup. He is not exactly young so he won't block colwill at all. But Napoli is a hard team to negotiate with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
