As of now, Thiago Silva is leaving Chelsea in the summertime when his present contract runs out on the membership.
Once more, as of now (as issues can at all times change), there are not any talks a couple of new contract extension to maintain the 39-year-old past the summer time.
It’s definitely one thing that has been internally mentioned, however as of now that’s all – we must wait and see in the event that they determine to try to maintain Silva or not.
It’s sparked a number of conversations and debates on the socials this week, whether or not Chelsea must be holding Silva for one more season, so I assumed it will be attention-grabbing to see what everybody on this neighborhood is feeling about that, while additionally giving my very own view.
As we all know, Silva’s boys play in Chelsea’s academy and I imagine they’re there for at the very least one other season. If Silva goes, then preparations will must be made or plans might want to change involving his lads.
Silva has a need to see out his profession in Brazil, and the place it began for him with Fluminense. He additionally has a need to enter teaching.
I did hear some time again that Chelsea have been eager to present him a training position when he does retire, so even when he does find yourself leaving the membership in the summertime, possibly it wont be lengthy earlier than he returns as soon as once more in a unique capability.
His English is getting higher on a regular basis, and having Silva’s affect round Cobham would solely be factor. We’re getting forward of ourselves there anyway, there’s a bit of option to go till then and a few extra corners to take for him.
Silva is now free to debate his subsequent transfer from this month, and he might even agree his subsequent transfer from now. However ought to Chelsea be attempting to maintain him?
He’ll be 40-years-old in September, however he’s nonetheless certainly one of Chelsea’s most vital gamers, and the best way he takes care of himself I simply can’t see his ranges actually dropping.
Mauricio Pochettino picks him and depends on him, and I’ve simply chosen him as my participant of 2023, and so did nearly all of you on right here.
Thiago Silva
For me, I imagine the time is correct for Chelsea, and for Silva, to half methods in the summertime. I don’t disagree that he can maintain acting at this stage and nonetheless be an enormous asset, in addition to a uncommon chief on this workforce, however I believe the time is correct to say goodbye (for now) to Silva.
I’d completely hate to see it grow to be one other Branislav Ivanovic and even Cesar Azpilicueta scenario the place their decline noticed followers activate them and their ending on the membership not be as completely happy accurately. Who is aware of if Silva will even decline like they did, nevertheless it’s potential.
In actual fact, we’ve already seen it, haven’t we? Followers turning on Silva this season and final season.
I nonetheless suppose he’s an excellent defender and he has single-handedly stored us in lots of video games this season. We lack leaders, so for me to be saying I’d let a pacesetter go this summer time is kind of powerful to say and a bit of bit contradictive. I really even suppose he must be carrying the captains armband this season.
However I need one of the best for Silva and one of the best for Chelsea, and I believe we must be trying to transfer ahead with out Silva. However I’d be changing him with an identical profile who can also be a pacesetter, but a youthful chief. I don’t suppose we must be having to depend on a 39-year-old week after week, I believe we must be transferring ahead with this venture and constructing our workforce across the new period.
Silva nonetheless needs to play and finish his profession in Brazil, and I believe he wants to try this this summer time so he can nonetheless be at his easiest.
I have to say, this isn’t a call that I discovered as simple as I did say 3 or 4 months again. It’s definitely not as reduce and dry for me anymore, however I simply suppose that it’s the appropriate time.
