saw this on the twitter rumor thread...think it needs a thread of its own as it one of the areas , which needs strengthening.

Nah, don't rate him.

Nah, don't rate him.

That's a bit harsh. Why not?

Because I don't think he offers enough going forward as good a defender as he is.

If he's that good why are Chelsea letting him go cheap?

Fair enough. I think he's ok going forward but rate him as a player. Wierd letting him go IMO. Maybe they are going to 3 5 2 next season?

the defense aspect is the concern for us :)

i would be interested , if not go for the price mentioned + premier league experience and is only 26

He wont work in the 3-5-2 conte plays. He looked good because of Mourinhos defensive system. Doesnt suit Peps style at all

guessing the 3-5-2 conte is supposedly going to use and hence being surplus

You make a fair point about his age and experience. You think he's technically at the level Pep would need ?
