This is someone who has hardly played since May 2018 - so not a form pick!

We have managed to get ourselves in such a mess. squad wise, anything could happen.

I don’t think Cahill was our first or second choice for this position, for the reasons mentioned, but this near the end of the window, I can see the logic, and with careful handling, it might work. But we will still have a gap for the first few matches against top 6 opposition as Cahill won’t be ready, Sakho and Tomkins aren’t fit, and Kelly and Dann don’t seem in good form

Nope, didn't see it. Was he that poor? He looked terrible against Bristol City but he is unfit and Cahill is likely to be too without a preseason.

For 75k a week I just don't think Cahill is a wise move.

Sakho and Dann need 3-4 weeks I reckon which ain't good. Not sure about Tomkins. Kelly is good backup whilst Kouyate could drop in albeit not his best position and what about Riedwald? Could it be his chance?

Anyway, with the likes of Mangala going on a free I'd be more happy with that.

would be a decent signing, no fee, the guys a serial winner you dont play 300 games for chelsea over 6 years alongside JT if your not up to it. you also dont get 60 caps for england if your s***.

yes he is 33, but wages on a par with pva schluppy meyer etc.

2 year deal on a free makes sense.

Yes he was

Yes he is but the season starts next week!

Apparently out for at least 6 weeks

We’re favourites apparently

With our central defenders, regularly injured. We do need cover . None of the kids , are yet ready,. The season hasn’t started yet and already . Tompkins, looks well short and Sakho doesn’t look ready yet. Pre - season, and the Dann, Kelly. are not exactly looking sound.
Cahill, could easily be the answer, as unlike Brighton,we don’t look like we have got £20 million to buy a promising young player.
The only risk is Cahills form. But you can never bank on form ,no matter what their age is.

we wont make a profit on the £12m we spent if we sell schluppy.

we dont need cahill to have a resale value, were not paying anything for him.
