Don't often post on here but spend way too much time here. This forced me to reply however. Before this season he was the outstanding player in the premier league. It looked like he was going to rival the very best. I watched a lot of Chelsea a couple of seasons ago and he consistently was constantly the best player on the pitch, undefendable, world class. If we could get him on a slightly discounted price due to his poor season we should absolutely do it. Swapping for Silva would hurt, especially plus 60 million, but to be fair Silva would probably only sit in their medical tent anyway
