The 25-year-old has started all five of the Blues' games so far, netting on his debut against Liverpool. But he has been part of a defence that has kept just one clean sheet this term, with their latest result being a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Disasi was a regular starter for Monaco during his three years with the Ligue 1 club and has become one of Mauricio Pochettino's trusted defenders at Stamford Bridge. Despite that, Gallas remains unconvinced by the French international. "I was one of the guys who didn't understand why Disasi joined Chelsea. The Premier League is a different league in terms of difficulty. Even though he is a physical player he has to understand strikers will be very strong when they challenge him," he told Gambling Zone. "He has to improve a lot, but he has the opportunity to play alongside Thiago Silva and he has to learn from him, speak to him a lot, and Silva can help him move to the next step. Even though he has joined Chelsea it doesn't mean he is completely ready. "He still has some bad habits and he has to change them. That's why when I saw his name, I thought he was not ready to join Chelsea. But you have to give him time to settle into a new country, new players and a new club. HAVE YOUR SAY! Should Mauricio Pochettino change Chelsea's defence after the international break? Comment below. "You have to give him time. When you have a foreign player who joins the Premier League you have to at least give them one year." Gallas also took aim at Chelsea's summer recruitment strategy, following a poor start that has left them 12th in the table. The former Blues star believes club chiefs){kind=link}
