Sule! Although I think he's a great talent and I would love him at Chelsea doesn't his lack of pace put anyone off? A lot of people complain about Gary Cahills lack of pace in a 3 in defence formation but sule is even slower! Do you think he will work in our team?

Cahill isn't that slow. It's his tendency to back off of attackers instead of being a little more proactive in his play that annoys some fans (though it has to be said that Cahill is quite possibly one of the world's best penalty box defenders) .
Sule is part of a team that plays a 3 man defense right now, and I don't think they've lost a game yet this season. So I'm guessing he's getting on just fine ;-)

Is he any good? , as in would he come in and start in our 11, or 1 for the future, I've never seen him play, if you google sule to Chelsea almost every British tabloid are reporting a 30 million improved bid from the summer, I don't know what to make of it as he's 21 years old and like I've mentioned not seen him play, and for me if we spend that amount he must be a starter, but we have zouma, and christenson on loan, I've rattled my brain and thought how would we fit all these players in our squad if rumours are true, I know Terry and ivanovic will be gone come the summer but i got a bad feeling we will drop mosses and send azpilacueta to right wing back to make space for either zouma or next season christenson or a new signing sule or who ever we sign, it just don't add up to me.

Fourfourtwo has a pretty good report on Niklas Sule.

He seems to be the real deal. He's also already capped for the German national team squad, at 21. So that's very impressive. The only things that maybe isn't top notch is his acceleration. He's a very big guy, so he's not the nimblest. But I've read that he's got good anticipation and reads the game well, so it's not really a problem. I've seen someone compare him in that way to Terry. Not the quickest, but a brilliant reader of the game.

Don't see the point in Sule we have a settled back three at the minute with Zouma as back up and we've got two very good youngsters coming back in Ake and Christensen. LWB and RF are two areas we can get two new faces in. Dybala, Griezmann or Sanchez should be main targets I wouldn't mind seeing little Jay Da Silva given a run at LWB if anything happens to Alonso.

The point is that in a back 3, the LCB and RCB need to be able to step forward into midfield and be able to play some good passes and provide some offense for the team. Neither Azpi nor Cahill are capable of doing so. Our defenders need to have some ball playing ability. Sule has this (unless everything I've read about him is plain wrong) .
Cahill is a good defender, but he can't step up into midfield and find our attackers in good positions with his passes. His position is clearly possible to find an upgrade, and maybe Sule is the one that the club has decided on as the best option.

Personally I think we have all we need, zouma, Christensen, ake to come back, zooms nearly their.
