Filipe Luis (Left Back): Our new No.3! Ashley ‘the legend’ Cole has left the building. In comes what I would call not the ideal signing – but the next best thing. This man is a proven winner playing already at his peak – perhaps on the latter stages of his peak. But this appears to be more of a stopgap solution rather than a long term solution. However, if you look at it this way, then this is a very long stop gap arrangement. Perhaps in 2-3 years time, he will be on his way out and Chelsea would have found a suitable long term solution for left back. Till then, we have an extremely capable left back from one of the top teams in Europe still having a good few years in his tank and one who is very excited about playing for Chelsea. What more do we want? Key items: 2-3 years peak performance ahead, proven winner, definite first choice.
