Filipe Luis to Chelsea confirmed. They have to have the most solid defense in the world now, with Luis-Cahill-Ivanovic/Terry-Azpilicueta and Matic in front, that is so good....

Surely terry instead of ivanovic?

If he does as well as he did last season, then yeah, probably. He's getting old though, weren't there rumours that he was leaving?

On paper... though chances are rather good that Mourinho transforms them into an actual fortress on the pitch.

Yup, quite a titanic defence, hope it don't sink!. Iva is 30 this year so he's alright for now. I don't see us signing any more defenders as we have backups coming back from loan, van Aanholt who was the best LB in Holland last season and Omeuro who is a Nigeria international, while I had heard Kalas is out on loan to Germany. We will probably sign another midfielder and that's it. Keep hearing about Pogba but who knows if we'll stump out enough cash. We're supposedly also in for Khedira.

when did cahill or ivanovic become world class centre backs, and terry is old, doesn't look that great on paper to me...

Cahill played like a world class centre back last season. It'll be interesting to see how Zouma does.

Did you watch Chelsea at all last season?

Cahill was top 3 CB in England last season and Iva has always been very solid. You don't need every guy to be world class to have the best defence, it's the collection that counts. I heard Zouma was meant to go back on loan to France but I don't think he has, he's staying as far as I know. Hopefully he'll get some chances. Omeuro will probably go on loan again, though he can play RB too I think so he might be a good backup option for 2 positions. We'll see.

how do united fanboys talk, i don't even know what that means, i don't think you do either.:eusa_think: moving on from that meaningless insult, chelsea's solid defence is obviously down to mourinho's ability to organise a defence, i never claimed anything different. which is why i don't understand the drooling over the names in that defence, because individually they are nothing amazing. another thing to take into account is chelsea didn't score enough goals last season, which is the reason they missed out on the title, they were solid defensively but often ran out of ideas in attack. if they want to win the league they will have to open up a bit and score more, which means they may not be as solid in defence.
