The recent rumours regarding Chelsea chasing a new defender has raised eyebrows amongst many fans, especially as we only bought David Luiz to Stamford Bridge at the end of the last transfer window.
Players like Lucio and Pepe have recently been linked with the Blues, but I can only imagine we’ll bring in another centre-back if the suggestion that Andre Villas-Boas wants to add some homegrown talent to his squad holds any water, we are coming up short in that regard after all.
Gary Cahill has been mooted as a potential target for Chelsea, but Sky Sports have reported today that Arsenal and Chelsea are set to go head-to-head for Birmingham City’s 6ft 5in defender Scott Dann, who may come at a less inflated price than Cahill and is a more promising player, in my opinion.
The 24-year-old caught the eye of many for his performances last season, including Aston Villa, Liverpool and Stoke. Birmingham certainly seemed to miss him when he missed some of the campaign through injury as they had one of the league’s better defences prior to it and ended up getting relegated at the end of the season whilst he was out during the second half of the campaign.
Should Villas-Boas opt to bring in a homegrown centre half such as Dann, it’ll likely mean that someone like Alex or even David Luiz, who has received interest from Barcelona (doubt we’ll sell him though), will leave the club.
your note is of zero significance!!! David Luiz is going nowhere!!!chelsea forever
If villas boas try 2 sell luiz,dat means he is sack
shhhhhhhhh am sick and tired of all this rumour of Chelsea fc.by the way I dont even think chelsea will sign any player this season.or what did you people think?
Totally agree, ci think chelsea will sign one player(medfielder), and even if we sign two players i don’t think they will big names.
I dont think if we sign him that Alex or DL4 will have to be sold. We’ll have DL, JT, Dann and Alex at CB. Thats 4 players in competition for 2 places. I’m not considering Iva as he will be our starting RB next season.
Our defence will be IVA — DL4 — JT — COLE.
Dann and Alex on the bench. Seems that we’ll have great depth even if we sell Bosingwa and its not like Coentrao and V. der Weil will probably come to us anyway. What we need is real width but with Neymar and Sanchez a no-go why not sign Arda Turan with Sturridge on the opposite wing. In our 3 man midfield we should have Essien sitting and Pastore on one side and Modric on the other. We would dominate especially with great depth in our squad as our bench would have the likes of Dann, Alex, Ramires, Lampard, Falcao and Drogba.
I like you.you seem to dream a lot!
What this man (Andre Villas Boas) is thinking about selling David Luiz is absolute nonsese never he think about that unless he want the AVB to show him the exit door.
Jsjsss…. I wonder if u watch football at all? Not to talk of being an analyst… A bench without a goalkeeper?!?!? Arant nonsense…
this is the type of story you get when they run out of other 1s,luiz will not be leaving,no chance.id prefere cahill to dann,i think he’s a better all round defender.
For chelsea to think of selling a consistent player like luiz is wrong.pls keep him,he is likely 2relieve john terry of the captain band.he has the charisma,he pulls crowd with his hair style and very agressive.all we need in dat squad are forwarders not defenders.our defenders are perfectly o.k.the only place in the defence line is a bench for ivanovic cos bosingwa is prone to injury.chelsea won the premiership best defence last season.therefore bring us falcao,hulk,modric or pastore and we need a goalkeeper incase of injury or red card for cech.
Blues 4 life
clubs should stop usein chelsea to sell their players.chelsea will never sell david luiz of alex to sign an over rated english player.cahill and dann can never be in our plan.
