39yr old Thiago Silva is still our best center back, he deserves another year contract because I don't even trust our CB's yet in games like this

Please give Thiago two more years contract
He has been an extremely important player for Mauricio Pochettino this season, starting in all nine of Chelsea’s Premier League games so far.
Chelsea already planning for life after Thiago Silva.
As much as Chelsea fans would love for Silva to remain at Stamford Bridge, it looks like the club are already thinking about a future without the Brazil international.
According to TEAMtalk, the Blues have identified Sporting Lisbon’s Ousmane Diomande as a potential successor to Silva.
