POSITIVES
1. AERIAL DOMINANCE: Chelsea have struggled all season with set-pieces & crosses in general. Thiago Silva will improve our presence in the box as he wins 77% of his aerial duels.
In comparison,
Rudiger 59%
Zouma 74%
Christensen 58%

2. PROVEN LEADER:
Silva is an experienced player and a proven leader. He has been the captain of both PSG & Brazil in many important games. He could be the leader we’ve needed in our defence, although he needs to learn English soon to ensure the best communicationhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🗣" title="Silhouette eines sprechenden Kopfes" aria-label="Emoji: Silhouette eines sprechenden Kopfes">

3. PASSING https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎯" title="Volltreffer" aria-label="Emoji: Volltreffer">
Silva’s biggest strength is his passing. Last season, our defenders struggled to play through the lines & switch the play with long balls. Silva has a 95% passing accuracy 76% long passing accuracy.
In comparison,
Rudiger 52%
Zouma 56%
Christensen 48%

4. PHYSICALITY OF THE LEAGUE https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💪🏼" title="Angespannter Bizeps (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Angespannter Bizeps (mittelheller Hautton)">
Silva is a fighter and isn’t afraid of a battle. He will welcome the physicality of the Premier League as he is a no-nonsense defender. He makes 4.3 clearances per game and has a 59.3% tackle success against dribblers

5. PRICEhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💰" title="Geldsack" aria-label="Emoji: Geldsack">
Silva is an upgrade on all our defenders and can come to the club for free! With Willian & Pedro leaving, Silva& #39;s wage demands can be fulfilled easily. It also allows Chelsea to save money for Declan Rice next season when he won’t have a ridiculous valuation of £80M

Cons: LACK OF PACEhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⚡️" title="Hochspannungszeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Hochspannungszeichen">
At 36, Silva severely lacks pace & has sometimes been criticized for dropping too deep as a result. Other than set-pieces, Chelsea have also been extremely vulnerable to the counter-attack, and Silva’s lack of pace will certainly not help solve this issue

AGE:
Silva at 36 is still a world-class CB, but that doesn& #39;t mean he isn& #39;t declining. With age, his body may not be able to keep up with the demanding PL schedule. His fitness will need to be monitored closely by Lampard throughout the season

CONCLUSION:
Silva would be a wonderful signing! Chelsea recognizes that it can& #39;t secure all transfer targets in 1 window. Silva represents a cost-effective short term fix to our defensive issues until we can get Declan Rice or someone else next season.
