Yeah. I share that assessment. He's not that special. Was pretty average under Sarri and Lampard, I remember Chelsea fans actually wanting to get rid of him at that time. He's certainly not worth 9M per year, which is what he's reportedly asking for, he's just not.
If he would be willing to come on Christensen's wages, then maybe we take the punt, but you can already see he thinks very highly of himself (and honestly he has every right, considering he has been one of the league's best CB for almost 2 years now, but it's very much in a system he clearly feels very comfortable in) and he's also at the perfect age where he can try and milk one last big contract from whoever is ready to pay him the money he wants.
Too many doubts for me though. Don't get me wrong. Yes, he could continue his great form and be worth it for the next 3 years, but he could just as easily turn back into pre-3 atb Chelsea shit if he joins a club playing 2 atb, and he's just not worth the risk in my eyes for the money he wants, especially not for us and not now, when we have to get it right, if we want to return to really challenging for the CL as fast as we want (1-2 years).
