Major Isewater Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 This lad is amazing . He moves the ball so quickly and intelligently. He is rarely beaten in the tackle , a tough cookie he is and incredibly wins his fair share of headers. I was unsure when he arrived as he looked like a kid compared to the other players but he is very good and his size is not an issue. A good find .

reddoc Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Forgive me for being dense, but if the Kalas thread is suggesting that we can't afford a player that is clearly not in Chelsea's long term plans, how come we can afford Da Silva who potentially may be? I accept he's probably getting a lower wage, but I can't understand why Chelsea would let him go at a price we could afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Yes, I’ve been impressed with him as well. Intelligent player, quick, skilful and able to go past players when he’s got the ball. We seem light years ahead of what we were like in our previous spell in this division, with the likes of Ryan McGivern in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 I’ve always liked him. He’s certainly underrated by many and seems to go unnoticed. Felt a bit sorry for him against Bolton when Kasey arrived and instantly got a song. , glad to see he at least got his own thread now at least. Would love to sign him up, whether Kelly stays or goes. He always puts in the effort and is one of those players people only notice when they are missing from the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 I agree with everything said above about him, but they are all attributes of the offensive side of his game. Not quite so convinced defensively. He just doesn't seem to always read the game as well, and gets caught out of position. But I guess he's still learning, and I'd still have him on a permanent move in a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, my MOM too, first half everything was going through him, and as @Sparkz 76 has said it was like having an extra body in midfield when he drove at them, which in turn allowed Weimann, O'Dowda or Pato more freedom to make runs in behind them without sacrificing anything in midfield, which was still policed by Pack, Brownhill and Da Silva and often pushed up over the halfway line. Da Silva definitely more of an attacking role than Kelly and hats off to LJ for having the confidence to play him over Kelly away from home.

What with agents nowadays, not getting carried away as he may well look at other offers as well, but yes, doing really well for us at the moment.

Cardy Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 You put your left leg in, your left leg out, in out, in out & shake it all about, you do the Jay Da Silva & you turn around, that’s what’s its all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastside Moonwalker Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Where was he playing against Forest? I had the same stream as a few other people and for the times where it was still up, he seemed to just be drifting straight through the middle, tacking clever little touches to knock it away from the Forest midfield, really really classy player. Same for the first few touches of KP too. We should try to get JDS to sign a deal here, great little player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticks 1969 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 It’s been said before but the way Tammy was treated and looked after by Johnson and the club has got to have helped in attracting the other Chelsea players we have at the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalas has been around and has bags of experience at this level, plus ( I think ) 2 promotions. JDS sup and coming and is mostly potential , all be it very good already. As others have said the deal is agreed with Chelsea, just have to convince the player. His performances may alert others, and no doubt his agent would look to get bigger clubs interested, but if he enjoys his football here then we may be in pole position. They could heavily weigh any Da Silva with add ons / sell on fees, at 25 they may feel that is less of an option with Kalas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does need to start more often though I think, otherwise that could throw a spanner in the works so to speak. The Tammy loan has really worked in our favour recently. The fact that he played and scored so often, as well as being loved by the fans and looked after so well, means he has nothing but praise for the club. Tammy could still be a key figure in securing Da Silva permanently, as well as Palmer, and to a lesser extent Kalas (only as I dont think we could afford him permanently). That being said about Kalas, we also thought that Baker was out of our price structure before signing him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chap in work is a Charlton fan and said he was stand-out for them, too good, getting Fan’s player of the year last season. What I like from my left back is the ability to play with his head-up, that ability to look inside rather than tunnel-vision “down the line”. JDS does that really well, and you can see Pack and Brownhill making their angles to get the ball, knowing they will get it quick, often first time. In the Bolton game there were a few interchanges between the 3 I mention above that reminded me of Bryan v Man Utd. He crosses a good ball too. One of our recent LBs who you could see played with his head up was (cough, cough) Nicky Shorey, just no-one had the confidence, other than Reid, to come short and give him the angle. Consequently Shorey would get caught with no options. Maybe his legs had gone too, but I could see why he’d played too-flight (maybe not his cap v Brazil though!!) This is where Kelly needs to develop. Defensively he is almost there, but with the ball in confined spaces he just needs to do a little bit of work on seeing the picture and trusting his touch / pass. JDS’s heatmap yesterday....very progressive for an away LB and 53 touches too. I’d say that had a big bearing on the team performance yesterday. 9 minutes ago, Distortia said: Where did you hear this Colin? That sounds very interesting.

Sign him up!! In fairness to Kelly though, we are lead to believe he is/will be a centre back. Just so happens to get played at left back. Therefore you would argue Kelly is a better centre back than Da Silva! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
