    A case of what Chelski want, Chelski get. Thought he might have cost more than £7m though.

    The problem is Luiz is ****, Terry's past it, and Alex is off soon enough. I think they're in desperate need personally.

    What? They have Terry, Luiz and Alex and Alex is getting sold. Ivanovic is a RB as well.

    As has been mentioned, Chelsea only have 3 senior CB's and they need someone more reliable than Luiz.

    Cahill is out of contract in the summer so that's why the money is so low - Bolton have a full team of players who are out of contract this summer so they could see players talking to other clubs come January.

  10. Invanovic can play RB and CB mate.

    Yeah but he's probably been the worst player of the season so far, in the entire league. For a 25 mil outlay you should be getting better. It doesn't look like he'll adapt either, you can't get away with being a free roaming CB in the EPL - and that's his main attribute. His awareness and tactical decisions are championship at best.

    Really? Well thank you very much for that...

    I know he can play there but he's much better as a full back, certainly more so than Bosingwa. Even if you do count him, with Alex being sold that still only leaves 3.

    You'd have thought Chelsea could choose someone better than the worst defence in the league as well. <doh>

    nah, there's always perch for that accolade

    i always thought his main attribute was intercepting the ball, he just needs to learn to stay in his bloody position and not get too eager to do so. most of his problems come when he tries to nip in front of the attacker, gets turned, and looks like an absolute schoolboy.

    Cahill is massively overrated.

    Saw a report yesterday saying £5m. Have to wonder why we didn't have a go for him? If I remember rightly, Mark Douglas said on Twitter that we were interested in Cahill but he was too expensive? Strange.

    Bolton may not have sold to us for that cheap because we're far closer to being rivals than Chelsea are. Additionally Cahill may have wanted big wages.

    You don't say...

    He's a makeshift CB, much like Raylor is a makeshift LB. It's not his best position.

    I've never really rated the lad, 7 million seems fair to me.

    Exactly - I thought pretty much all defenders could play along the line if duty calls.
