I do have some concerns about Saba Goglichidze but one thing that is 100% never going to be an issue is his physical attributes, the things we can't help him develop.

He's really strong, has a good leap on him but doesn't necessarily win enough of his headers (think it's a timing problem which we can teach) and one of the fastest players going. And that isn't an exaggeration, he recorded the 2nd fastest speed in the whole serie a last season

My doubts come from his ability on the ball and sometimes recklessness, it's important to contextualize these issues to playing for empoli because they are a very poor side and never dominate games in that way. But he isn't an incredible passer in intricate play (empoli are usually struggling to progress anyway), made a fair few errors that led to empoli conceded and made some pretty nasty fouls.

He can however ping some really intelligent and impressive long balls and start counters, of course as mentioned is a huge asset for covering a fullback or fellow centre half and is very active in duels.

What's interesting is a lot of our centre back targets play in a back 3 like Saba, perhaps a switch of system?

For that price though I think it's a no brainer but he's someone who needs developing in order to become a top defender. We'd certainly need other options imo.

It's the upside that I'm excited about with this lad, as you said he has all the physical attributes you'd want in a CB but needs fine tuning

Be buzzing if we sign this lad, very raw but the upside is there

I am hoping our new DOF has some Seria A players on his list. There is so much talent in that league these days, even at the bottom end. It is a league I enjoy watching and will really season players for the premier league.

I like it as well. Mind, that said, their international team since they won the Euros has a shocking record. Two World Cups missed, and a poor start to the next!

Chelsea honestly have no clue or structure. It’s just stockpile in every position. I’m not sure why players agree to go there
