Blues boss Enzo Maresca has been told to scrap the Chelsea transfer blueprint and try to bring former fans favourite Thiago Silva back to the club, to add some much needed experience to that Blues back-line.
While a number of the club’s most recent attacking recruits have struggled to make an impact it is in defence where CHELSEA look particularly short of numbers, as the likes of Wesley Fofana, who has struggled with a number of injury issues since his move from Leicester, and Trevoh Calobah, who was handed a Chelsea lifeline this time last year after he was recalled from a loan spell at Crystal Palace, are the current first choice pairing.
Thiago joined Chelsea as a free agent five years ago and after initially struggling following his arrival, he quickly adjusted to the demands of the Premier League and became a club fans favourite, with his quality in the defence helping the club to a number of trophies.
Thiago’s contract with Fluminese expired recently and Terry believes the veteran centre-half would add the experience currently lacking in Maresca’s team, He said: ‘Thiago Silva is available. Listen to me, a man with great experience, a man with a great relationship with our football club.
‘His two kids are in our academy, no doubt he’s going to be back in London with his family for Christmas I would love to see this man back at our football club, playing alongside these players.
‘I’m not saying he has to play every week with the experience he can bring playing next to someone like that probably goes back to my role in 2017 under Antonio Conte when we won the league.
‘I didn’t play but I had a role to play within the group. Be that buffer between the players the manager, the owners and have that bit of experience.
‘Sometimes when you’re going through a tough spell or when you’re going through a good spell as well you know what to say and what to deliver and he certainly brings that as well.
‘Thiago Silva back to CHELSEA would make everyone very happy, me included.’
