As far as I know, Chelsea have treated their players well.

If Gallas says he wants out, they'll allow him

He's one of the best defenders in the world, I don't understand what the problem could be. Chelsea have money, so the salary isn't a problem, and his performances last season earned him a first-XI place for sure.

Hates being played at Left Back, however ... if we do sign Cole or something then he wont be playing there ....

I don't know about hype, he hasn't showed up to training, and Chelsea have announced they are going to release a statement, he obviously isn't happy at the club, they're probably just going to say they're unhappy and hes been fined, or some lie like they gave him extra time off, or maybe something else like hes flown to Italy to discuss terms with Milan.

I know about the left-back problem. Like I said, I think his performances last season warrant a CB spot. I rate him higher than Carvalho, and Gallas has definitely done so much for Chelsea by not complaining too much, they owe him.

If I were Chelsea manager, I'd do my best to accommodate William, even if it meant benching Carvalho, who is good but probably a bit overrated.

ha carvalho overrated? since when do you hear anyone rate him as a top defender in the world (anyalists, commentators, reports etc...)

He used to be hailed as a top defender. I don't know what people think of him now, but he's far from what he was supposed to be, and therefore I said he was overrated.

how do you make that?

he was the top defender at the Euro and one of the best at this WC.

He may not be that suited for the english game because he's more about positioning than strenght, but still overrated my ass. If anything he's underrated by Chelsea fans.

He would walk right into pretty much any club lineup in the world.

I'd like to hear the Chelsea fans' opinions on this.

But there you go.. and then you ask me why I think he's overrated.. it's because you people say he'd walk into any lineup, which he wouldn't, IMO.
I can't remember him doing anything special in Chelsea.

(not counting chelsea)

EPL: he could start in Arsenal and Man Utd
SPL: barcelona no,Real Madrid Yes.. then they can have ramos-cannavaro-carvalho-carlos/?

I believe he's staying.

Unfortunately


Pede, what about the LB spot? You have Bridge there, who else? Gallas seems desperate to play CB, so you'd have one player as left-back.. I think you will offer around 20M for Cole. Why wait for the Bosman ruling if you have enough money for him and are not exactly covered in that position?

Of course you are spot on zka. Obviously we would like to sign him now, but at the moment its a game being played out between Chelsea and Arsenal, and we must not look to be too desperate for Coles signature. If NOT signing Cole risks us losing Billy, then I say sign Cole tomorrow. Then we might risk losing Wayne Bridge, so then we will still only have one left back. Its difficult when dealing with these players to find a perfect solution where everyone is happy but as fans we can only observe from a distance and hope the club find the perfect solution.

UEFA expect the CL squad lists next week so a solution regarding Cole will have to be found by then. Not just for Chelsea's sake but for Arsenals as well.

Apparantly Cole told Dein yesterday that he will never kick a ball for Arsenal ever again, so lets see where this saga goes man.

As for Ricci. Yep, I have always pretty much been unappreciative of his role at Chelsea or indeed as a player. Last season he did a few things that began to sway my opinion. Culminating in a wonderful goal he scored towards the end of the season. I realised then that he has more in his locker than we have been allowed to see. Whether its Jose holding him back or Ricci himself who has been playing within himself. I like the guy a lot and he works his butt off every game. He can be quality most of the time. Although he does have more than his share of bad games. I think he is one of these players that you have to see week in and week out to really appreciate what he can do, because if you see him play rarely, the time you DO see him, more than likely , that will be the day that he has a quiet game. He is class for sure when he is on song although having said that, I would still be happier with Gallas in the CB spot next to JT. Its a hard one but Billy just makes it past Ricci for me.

No, Carvalho will not "walk" into Milan's XI. Gallas however, I believe, will.

So Gallas > Carvalho.

Carvalho's biggest mistakes arise mainly from his poor positioning. It's his strength and determination that usually covers up for it when he's in the EPL

heck I'd start Kaladze over Carvalho.

And no, he wouldnt "walk" into Man Utd or Arsenal either.

The only "big" team that may need him is Barca. And maybe Pool.

Im not saying he aint good, but not as good as people say.

Oh please just shut up you biased piece of sh*t, I bet you dont even watch the EPL, much less Portugal's matches or Porto's european campaigns in 2003 and 2004.


It's just so trendy to diss portuguese players nowadays isn't it?


go back wanking with the Ronaldinho to Milan rumour.

Virgo man, chill.

Carvalho is decent at times, and I rate him highly. But he wouldn't just walk into Madrid's defence now. Although it would allow us to have Ramos, Carvalho and Canna all in the back line.
