: @ebndesign 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 communication

3. PASSING 
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 
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. PRICE
Silva is an upgrade on all our defenders and can come to the club for free! With Willian & Pedro leaving, Silva'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 PACE
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't mean he isn'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'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.
