Seems we are close to signing Benatia from Roma for 30 mill. Seems pricey for a 27 yr old . Anyone know if he's any good. Can't say I've heard much about him.
I've only seen clips of him and everyone can be made to look good on YT. But he seems like a pretty sound player. he's quick, good on and off the ball, has great dribbling skills with the ball at feet, he's composed, good at snap decisions, tall and is a threat in the air defensively and offensively. If this is JTs last year, then this guy would be a perfect replacement to accompany Cahill at CB until Zouma is 100% ready. Of course another stat that proves how good he is is the fact that Roma (I believe) had the best defensive record in Serie A last season. My only concern with him is the price. If he was perhaps 20mil instead of 30, he would be a great buy
Agree with you. I is good solid centre half
I wouldn't worry about the money side of things. chelsea will pay what they believe the player is worth. On.another side it's not comin out of our pocket so if we see great players come in n silly money spent then all good as long as we win the league I don't care!
May be ok, but surely a back up striker the priority while remaining within FFP -- ie this has relevance to what we pay for this defender.
