Ex-Blues star has backed Silva to be success at Chelsea after summer move
Craig Burley has backed Thiago Silva to be a huge success at Chelsea after his move to London.
After eight successful seasons over the in the French League, the Brazilian decided that he wanted to leave and have one big hurrah in the Premier League, and eventually agreed a one-year contract at the club.
And Burley believes that he will be a success with the club, especially with the club crying out for someone to provide an assured presence at the heart of their back four, The former Blues midfielder told ESPN FC of the Silva deal: “Although it’s not ideal signing a player who is going to be 36 very soon, he is a player who has just played in the Champions League final and is a player who is hugely experienced, is still fit and sharp enough and can organise and lead that back line – a back line that really struggled for most of the season.
“There is no inherent risk here, apart from it might not work! There is no financial outlay apart from salary so I think it’s an excellent signing short-term when you consider the dearth of real quality centre-halves out there.
“It makes absolute sense and Frank Lampard will be hoping that he can bring the organisational qualities that he has done for club and country over the last decade.”
Only time will tells if Silva was a good buy for the club, but we are massive fans of Silva and beleive that he is the leader that we have been lacking to get closer to the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City next season
