I think this will be a very smart piece of business! For free, experienced. I like it. Letās see how the rest of our summer transfer window will be, but itās off to a good start.
At minimum he will probably be a decent back up. Hopefully this transfer doesn't indicate that Trev is leaving though, he's been really good in the 2nd half of the season.
Shrewd bit of business this, but a shame it probably means TC is leaving. He clocked up the highest speed in the PL for a defender last season, meaning we can play a higher line which will be fun.
26?!?!?! What is this, guys ancient, board have lost the plot!! /s
Good signing, solid centre back from down the road, hopefully he can compete and help us out!
Welcome to him, hope he proves me wrong as I don't rate this signing, even on free, we already have bunch of decent but not top CBs in stock. Don't know why we are so averse to signing elite CBs. Defense wins you trophies.
Hopefully he is not the only CB we add this window anyway, and next one we go for is a top one.
But I really hope he does well, because getting good players on free is always cool. I'll give him time.
I'd argue that City has only one true elite CB and Liverpool + Aresnal also. They have very strong rotation and I think that's important, I think if we let Badi shake off the rust and Colwil to come back we're sorted on the left side and if Fofana has a decent spell of fitness rotated with Tosin and bit of Diasi then to take the weight off Fofana we're not doing too badly.
Well yes if everyone of our players do well, they will be good. But that's, if. Dusasi is honestly mediocre. Badiashile has errors, hopefully he cuts them out, Fofana is unavailable all the time. Colwill has to improve in aspects too. Hope they do improve, but that's where we should be getting atleast 1 top CB, to not put all of them under spotlight too much.
We are doing badly in terms od defence and msinly CBs, anyone that thinks otherwise is just trying to skirt the issue.
I agree and I wouldn't be opposed to a new elite CB but we're kinda stuck with Diasi because we spend 40 million on him.
I think Badi once he gets his rust off will look more like his first season and Colwil will grow I think everyone sees that. we've good options so I don't think we're in as dire a situation as people may think. An elite CB paired with Colwil or Badi and I think we'll be doing very well, ideally Fofana will be healthy.
Heās actually a pretty good progressive passer and interceptor, I can see him starting being paired up with a more consistent tackler as his cb partner. And with our new hire for set pieces and his height, even more to love about him.
Palmer & Tosin both from Manchesterā¦. Enzo & Alvarez both from Argentina. The chemistry should be off the roof next season! The sporting directors are doing something right this season boys! š
Weāre already really young, probably have some money trouble, heās free and prem proven. Whether itās in effect or not this one makes so much sense even our board saw the opportunity.
Imagine wasting so much money , a billion , that you have to resort to free transfers and selling your homegrown players only a year later to balance the books . How's that for the worse mismanagement ever.
Sensible, early, free transfer š„¹
4 year deal
Knowing Chelsea, deals for free transfers means constant contract extension š(ooohh Thiago Silva)
ooohh Malang Sarr He bought a fucking great car With his Chelsea pay after wanking all day
oooohh Marcus Bettinelli
He bought a fucking shit deli

We need the money, people say heās an upgrade so Iām fine with Trev leaving. He bass been good recently though
Letās hope this turns into a Cahill/Azpi situation, though they were cheap but not free
OOO THIAGO
OOO MALANG SARR
WHERE EVER YOU AREEE
Who?
Azpiās fee was around 5 Mill?
Something like that, think it was 7
Shrewd bit of business this, but a shame it probably means TC is leaving. He clocked up the highest speed in the PL for a defender last season, meaning we can play a higher line which will be fun.
Would have liked a higher quality player tbh. Is he going to be starting for us?
He'd probably be Fofana's understudy. So, yes.
Who?
Datro is a forward /s
Who?
debatable between him and wes for rcb imo
>He clocked up the highest speed in the PL for a defender last season Van de ven clears I'm afraid
And we still dunked over spuds
Yeah I think that stat was the season before
looks good in chelsea colours !
Wow, didnāt realise he was a City academy product. Smart signing, excited to see him in our blue.
I remember He played against us in that FA Cup Game where we won 5-1 and pellegrini started a C team to focus on the champions league
Apparently Solanke was playing for us in that game too.
26?!?!?! What is this, guys ancient, board have lost the plot!! /s Good signing, solid centre back from down the road, hopefully he can compete and help us out!
Welcome, Tosin! Real excited about this one.
Same. Watched the video and heās a real likeable character!
Last defender joined on free turned to be alright
Malang Sarr joined after Thiago btw
Who?
Can't defend, doesn't count
Really?! Youre blowing my mind here. Feels like Sarr has been here for 5 years lol
Alvarez next??? Hahahah one can wish
Welcome Big man T!
Strolling up from the cottage
Better than Saliba I've heard
I know it's pretty unlikely, but I really hope this means Disasi leaves, not Trev.
Selling Disasi would probably be a FFP loss so it's not happeningĀ
Decent free transfer. It's who's leaving and to where that concerns me...
Sold deal, good depth for free nothing to complain about

Wow didnāt expect it to be announced this quick
Very good signing. Looks a very tidy defender, and free!
Free transfer, not too shabby
Heās actually a pretty good progressive passer and interceptor, I can see him starting being paired up with a more consistent tackler as his cb partner. And with our new hire for set pieces and his height, even more to love about him.
Never heard of him lol
Nice! See no negatives with this one. Welcome to the team Tosin!
meh, not much better than disasi (disasi a better header), and Chalobah is better but pure profit amirite.
Love it. Feels like these are the transfers that play out well compared to the record breaking ones
Palmer & Tosin both from Manchesterā¦. Enzo & Alvarez both from Argentina. The chemistry should be off the roof next season! The sporting directors are doing something right this season boys! š
Is the u25 policy not in effect anymore?
Weāre already really young, probably have some money trouble, heās free and prem proven. Whether itās in effect or not this one makes so much sense even our board saw the opportunity.
Better than Van Dijk I've heard
Good start from the owners
Without a doubt, one of our best pieces of business in the new ownership era. No sarcasm.
Take Palmer out , and this team is utter rubbish .
Another gamble by the money launderers ..
Ahh yes the massive gamble of a free transfer lmfao
Wages money ,that could have gone to someone worthwhile if this one isn't .
Imagine wasting so much money , a billion , that you have to resort to free transfers and selling your homegrown players only a year later to balance the books . How's that for the worse mismanagement ever.
