Dunno, Veiga who’s also a CB/LB is decent too but he wants out because he wasn’t getting enough game time.
Their best CB is Colwill and he’s only 22. Cucurella has probably been their best defender recently.
Maybe they’ll play him as a RCB?
I think the team that would have offered him the best pathway is Liverpool. And it seemed like he was the one they would have gone for a few months ago. Not sure what happened there.
Was thinking the same re: Liverpool. The Dutch connection is there and they need numbers/young players to bed in when the likes of Konate/VvD leave etc.
A shame he is going to that horrible institution but I’d rather it be Chelshit than Liverpool. Cunts would be so annoying with it.
Chelsea are buying so they can flip him for a profit in 3 - 4 years. That’s their business model. We can’t and don’t need to spend this much on another defender. Who knows, Mikel might buy him off Chelsea in a couple of seasons
With him joining, Chelsea under Todd Boehly have spent over £200m in signings every season. (Doesn’t include net spend and I don’t care about it in this context)
Yet if they finish 3rd or something it’ll be called progression or improvement. Fucking ridiculous.
