flllerywhereru2 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Felt for him saturday, he was once again excellent and gave everything. A final would have been a fitting end to his time at Chelsea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Gutted to see him go, but I understand it and we do need to move on from him at some stage. It’s a shame he wants to keep playing and can’t move straight into a coaching role of some sort. Hopefully, he just has a year or two back in Brazil and will then come back. Chelsea does feel like his club and his family seem settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kelly Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The Premier league is a very unforgiving league, we got Silva too late but I'm glad we got him. Lovely player, hope he has a happy time back in Brazil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely player, hope he has a happy time back in Brazil. We did get him too late, but in his time in the league, even at his age, he’s been arguably one of the best CBs in the league. Privilege to have watched him in a Chelsea shirt, a quality player and man. Silva and Terry is a partnership I would love to have seen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevelourfog Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 "Stay until the end" of what, Romano? The right thing for all concerned, gutted for him he's not going out on the high he personally deserves. Wonder what his kids will do, presumably won't stay with the academy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JaneB Posted April 22 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 22 I understood that Thiago's elder son had signed a 2 year contract with the Chelsea youth team so they would all be sticking around for at least another year. One of the very few players, if any, I have any respect or affection for in this present team and getting him 'too late' was still miles better than some of the dross we have been landed with since. What a miserable time to be a Chelsea supporter 😪 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea_Matt Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Just magnificent. One of the few who actually cares about the club. Wish him every happiness. A privilege to have had Thiago at Chelsea. He deserved way better than the bunch of w*****s around him the last two seasons. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick1977 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) He has been just brilliant. I will miss him. From day 1 he has shown how to win fans over by his actions both on and off the field. He will always be remembered fondly Edited April 22 by Rick1977 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xceleryx Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Will be sad to see Thiago Silva go. As someone that was big on us signing him originally despite others having reservations, I think he's gone on to showcase just how good of a player he's been despite his age and limitations. We may not have had his prime years but he'll forever hold a fond place here and a big part of our second Champions League victory. A shame we couldn't do more at times for him, but that's how it goes sometimes. A return to Brazil was always likely to occur and this is probably a good of a time as any to do it. Hopefully we'll see him back at the club again, he'll always be welcomed with open arms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's fine he is not going out on a high. He got the CL at the start. Doesn't matter the order it happened, as long as it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we'll see him back at the club again, he'll always be welcomed with open arms. It's been a mutually beneficial arrangement which all parties got a lot out of. After being ditched by PSG, he must have thought his chances of even playing CL football after that might have been limited. The fact that he and we helped each other realise that dream was fantastic. Neither thought in a million years when he signed, he would be here for 4 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post east lower Posted April 23 Popular Post Share Posted April 23 The footballing equivalent of a Rolls-Royce - Smooth, effortless (most times) and elegant. Oozed class at all times. Could have done with a bit of Ferrari in there as well - but those days had gone. The thing was that most of the time you wouldn't have known that he was short on a bit of leg speed as his mind was supercharged. Looks to be the sort you might want back as a Coach in the future, nothing to base that on of course except what you see on the pitch and that doesn't always translate into being a Manager/Coach. One of those you'd want to shake their hand and hold onto it for a minute or two. Good luck Tiago - I think a little bit of most Chelsea Fans hearts go with you. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Fowler Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Just a random prediction - I believe many will look back next season and think why did we get rid of Thiago Silva? Why not one more year? I think we will not replace him with experience and realise that we needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted Monday at 10:11 Share Posted Monday at 10:11 https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/thiago-silva-to-depart-chelsea-at-the-end-of-the-season We were lucky and blessed to have him at our club for four years. It sounds like he’ll be back in a different role in the future. Good luck for what’s next Thiago, can’t wait to have you back home soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
