It will happen

heavily linked latley

burdisso supposibly going and, he will enter lets talk about it here

**snake** · 06 Jul 08, 07:29

I massively doubt it.

We dont need him, they wont sell.

**cloudq** · 06 Jul 08, 07:54

there was an interview from alcides, saying that chelsea bought him to replace carvalho

anyway, i think its at least going to be burdisso out, carvalho in

which is ok, as long as burdisso isnt sold to juve and carvalho is still in his prime

**Azzkikr** · 06 Jul 08, 08:15

Seems probable.

Carvalho wants to leave, and is a Mourinho favourite.

**mike_inter** · 06 Jul 08, 08:19

Cordoba,Samuel,Chivu,Carnalho,Rivas...

4 world class central defenders in our squad..and another talented and hard-worker..

At least if that happens I'll have the joy not to see Materazzi and Burdisso again..

That woulb be amazing..

**Forza ragazzi** · 06 Jul 08, 10:03

Matrix will stay instead of Rivas because of the regulations. RIvas will probably be loaned out.

**Luka** · 06 Jul 08, 10:50

To me it's very imposible to happen. We don't need to reinforce the defense.

And if you would like to sign a player for Burdissos place, you don't sign a world class defender. Burdisso is at best 4'th choice, and signing Carvalho in his place is just ridiculous.

**Azzkikr** · 06 Jul 08, 10:59

Cordoba and Samuel might not be ready for the season start, they are still getting over their injuries.

And about cordoba, he is far from worldclass anymore. He was the primary source of instability in defense in the first half year when we played decently last season. I believe someone posted who was responsible for the all goals scored against us up to around christmas and cordoba alone was responsible for more than half of them, he made ALOT of mistakes.

I didn't think Cordoba was to bad last year. Burdisso and Matrix were disasters.

**A.l.i** · 06 Jul 08, 14:51

Against it.

Burdisso should definitely stay. Carvalho would be another signing that would increase our average squad age.

**Luka** · 06 Jul 08, 15:35

Sorry, but it's like saying:

Stankovic should definetly stay. Lampard will just make our average higher.

Carvalho is three times Burdisso ever was.

**Handoyo** · 08 Jul 08, 13:58

3 times? Well I doubt so, since Burdisso was -3 last season and that'd make Carvalho -9.

Jokes aside, I definitely do not want this signing. I'm a huge fan of the Cordoba - Samuel pairing. They were rock solid when they played consistently together in 05/06 and they were impenetrable during the first half of last season. I definitely can see 2-3 more years from them.

We also have Chivu and for the reserve, Burdisso AND Rivas is more than enough. Matrix should kicked out though, since he's been in a free fall in terms of form.

I understand that we'd be missing Cordoba & Samuel and maybe Chivu in the beginning of the season, but weighing the pros of having at least world class defender for the first couple of months of next season against the cons of having to deal with so many defenders for the rest of the season (And maybe years to come), I'd say we should skip signing Carvalho.

It's just that Materazzi is an asso player, but Burdisso and Rivas are just regulars. Definitely we can't afford to keep them both, that's for sure. This got nothing to do with Carvalho perhaps, Mourinho probably doesn't want to rely on players coming back from injuries.

**lonewolf19** · 08 Jul 08, 14:22

and this will depend on how many CBs will be back to full health when the training/season starts. Right now we only have Matrix and Rivas after Burdisso went to the Olympics

if we need another cb back dont waste money on carvalho get ferrari

Yeah, ferrari is better.

**Ilkinio** · 13 Jul 08, 07:48

ferrari is club-trained.

**Alessandro** · 13 Jul 08, 08:05

Ferrari = waist of paper. The contract's worth (20c) is more expensive that that piece of shit.

**Bes** · 15 Jul 08, 22:52

Carvalho decided on his future. He choosed Chelsea.

Key Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho, has declared his intentions to honour his contract with the West London club, and not follow former mentor Mourinho to Internazionale.
