Thiago Silva

[Zuess99]

no cb will solve any of our problem even if u get Ts and chielini the problem won't be solved maybe it will be reduced and that is even maybe.the problem we have is not only the cause of the cb it is this coupled with two attacking fullback,slower xavi,lack of pressing.bringing ts would not solve this problem.it has always been counter attacking teams that defend and attack in numbers that has always been our problem because since guardiola cam,e our team had become attack minded every player we replaced from that time to now were more defensively solid than the ones we replaced them with.we had elevated the ball playing skills over their actual ability in the position we are bringing them to fill.if we sign ts and our tactics remain the same we will hardly win anything but if our tactics change we can win everything.

Best post I've heard EVER. We need to change tactics indeed. When alba and alves go upfront it leaves us exposed , it was better when abidal was there .

Would you guys be happy if we paid £42m on the undisputed no1 cb in the world or use that money and get two good cbs like so Kos and Vertonghen for example?

It's not £42m, it's 42m euros.

Definitely should get two CBs instead of the 29 year old Silva who will slow down in a year or two and will be released on a free transfer in 3 years. Keep in mind, no other team in the world would even dream of splashing out that kind of money for a 29 year old CB except billionaire clubs and us. We act like we have a billionaire owner with this type of transfer. Just look at the top transfer fees paid for CBs over the last 5 years in the world. Paying 42m for a close to 29 year old CB is outrageous beyond belief.

I honestly don't see us paying 42mil for him, even Zubi and Rosell can't be that stupid.
If we get him, I see it being max of 35mil. Even then it's pricey, but imo he's worth it. I rather pay 35 for him over 22-25 for someone that is good but not quite as good.

I think Laurent is underrated and would fit in pretty well, Id like him for 20milish and Marquinhos for 20-25 since I don't PSG letting Silva go.

 

[ebc_99]

He is the best and we need him so 42 mil is not that bad. He will not solve all defensive problems but for the first time in a long long time we will have the best CB in the world in the Barca defense, that has to be a good thing, if we could somehow get the defence to match the midfield and attack we would be in for one hell of a season. And when we get it out of the way we can then decide what to do with the money left over.

BREAKING - Thiago Silva has confirmed moments ago that he will stay with PSG till his contract ends denying what Sport claimed today.

Marquinhos! GO!

Thiago: "I saw that a paper [Sport] claimed I will travel to Paris to force a move to Barça. That will never happen. I'm staying." [Globo]

 

[Povikas]

I would definitely support the pursuit of TS for €42M.

But I honestly don't get the logic that PSG would sell him. Why sell the best defender in the world?

It's the same for me like not selling Iniesta or lets even say Messi for €250M. Yes we can buy a whole new team with that money, but that's not the same then having the best player in the world.

 

[Jadentheman]

Guess it's over. Marquinhos is a go then.

having the best defender in the world in our defense if he will not solve all our defense problem for 42m euro is stupid if u can get 2 cb for that amount that will improve ur defense more than only him,how many of bayern cb's did they spend 30m on when he was 28yrs old,how many juve cb's did they spend 30m on when he was 28 and this are one of the best defense in the world and Ts is not that versatile if he was atleast we would have hope of playing as a defensive full back and he will also earn as much as xavi and iniesta and with bonuses he will earn more than them,we should just sell adriano and maybe song or mascherano and use the money we get together with money budgetted for silva to get one cb that can play as a lb and marquinhos and if it remains get kondogbia and mould him to a box-box mildfielder to replace thiago.

Or no cb and just keep using Adriano and Mascherano there. I honestly believe Neymar will be the only major signing.

 

[Cruijffista]

We gotta go for Marquinhos then.

 

[Hamzah]

If we had even half decent scouts we could unearth a lesser known player who would be perfect for us.

What are Marquinhos strengths and weaknesses? I thought he's almost certain to join psg anyway?
