also with regard to comment 7 from papaogos

quaresma­ is on loan to us (and won't come back as joe cole­ will be fit after summer)
di santo has already proven­ he's a worthy deputy striker
mancienne IS going to­ be a world-class international defender one­ day
ferreria is old and will either leave in summer or­ see out his contract with us (and he's not bad­ backup)
but stoch and kakuta could do with some­ first-team experience, maybe Championship or French­ League

so until you can learn to spell, and can made­ valid, knowledgable comments, please don't bother

I disagree with the fact that carvahlo is the­ world's best defender, for the same reason I'd­ disagree with people saying the same about Rio­ Ferdinand, because their central partners and­ supporting midfielders are incredible.

There's no­ denying that Ricardo and Rio are top-draw defenders,­ but if it wasn't for Terry and Essien, and Vidic­ and Carrick respectively, they woudln't look quite­ so formidable. Even then they have Cech and Van Der Sar­ backing them up, so on the occasions that the ball does­ get through, they've got 2 of the best making sure­ clean sheets are intact.

I'm a die-hard Chelsea­ fan, but must admit that I'd have Rio in my team­ over Carvahlo any day of the week, and to be honest­ I'd rather have Alex or Ivanovic paired with JT­ week-in week-out. So Mr Mourihno, open your chequebook­ and take him off our hands, he's good, but­ we've got better...

3.one of the best in the world?what a joke

From­ anas_luqman, on Fri 22 May 1:12PM

Think you spelt­ your first name wrong mate.

Rio Ferdinand thinks hes really cool with that stupid­ internet magazine he has , well he is a dumb cokney

don't sell him...........if you do.......Chelsea­ will have do more defending stuff to win a­ game.............

rio is better then every chelsea player

dont sell him pls,he is better than shirt tugging vidic­ and drug ?????? rio put together

average time spent in injury should determine who to­ go. carvalho, deco are unavailable most of the time due­ to injury, they should go

chelsea has a lot of­ training materials - ferreira, manciennes,kakuta (ghost­ worker), quaresma, stoch, santos - 6 out of 25­ (25%)puts so much pressure on others. chase them away­ on loans or outright sales aand let their positions be­ vacant

carvalho should stay at s/bridge. he is great, there is­ absolutely no need of selling him.Chelsea hav a good­ squad but they are only lacking a coach.We need a coach­ like hiddink. Carvaho for chelsea. mimbulu family

he is easily one of the best in the world...­ technically brilliant, with a good footballing brain on­ him.
he's lost a few yards of pace with age, but­ gained experience to make up for it.

he is one of the best,man uniteds vidic cant even­ defend drogba without holding his shirt or wrestling­ him.....

one of the best in the world?what a joke

Sell him, buy Mertaseker he is only 24 or so... Decent­ swop

Id let gim go while we can still get the money. he is­ great but ale has proven his worth and with ivanovich­ and mancienne as cover we are sorted.

carvalho is­ often injured these days. his ezperience would be­ missed though
