he's my paulo

[SuperSheva7 0]

Oh no! I deffo think he is good enough to stay. Man, what ever happened to Belletti leaving?

[Elliott 7]

Well interestingly there's been no more news on this for hours. Either West Ham are leaving it late or it's fell through.

[PaulHopkins 1]

hmmmmm has this definitely not happened???

[Kez 2,727]

The window's closed now Paulo's staying

[manpe 10,855]

Good, now that Belletti may be considered a midfielder ...

[Elliott 7]

It might just be that it's done but West Ham have yet to announce it.

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

Didnt he just sign a new deal just before Scolari was announced as manager?

I thought BPS was behind that in some way.

Paulo Ferreira is staying at Chelsea, well at least that's a good thing we can take out of this headache of a day don't you think?

Not really. Ferreira is hardly integral to the squad and we could cope without him with what we have.

Stop being so fuckin negative for fuck sake... "not good enough", "could be better" ... he's a good player, loyal and doesn't bitch. What else do you want ?

-EDIT-

The loyal part is still under some doubt .. lala

Very true Manpe

tbh I would rather have Ferreira at the club than people like Belletti. People have said earlier in this thread Ferreira is more defensive. I agree with them

I never said Ferreira is a bad player. But with the amount of right-backs we have, losing one is not a problem.

[manpe 10,855]

the amount of right-backs = 3 ... 2 would already be "little" or "normal" ... Bella, Jose and Paulo ... With the shortage in the middle park Belletti was called up, leaving only 2 possibilities on the right. As a manager I would love the choice, defensive or attacking player. If it was between Belletti and Ferreira, I'd choose Ferra because Bosingwa is already attack-minded and so is Bella.

but yeah okay no hard feelings, I just get a bit upset when some people get carried away judging players and not giving credit. Ferra was integral in the first season... he has fallen a bit short in the last few seasons, but he was still an integral part in the most succesful squad of the club's history.

3 right-backs is more than necessary. But we have Ivanovic also. So that's 4. And 2 options even after one is moved elsewhere is fine.

We don't need 3 players for every position.

I don't think Ferreira was ever integral to our team. He's a good player, but not outstanding. We have been trying to improve on the right-back position since a year after we got him, which tells it's own story.

Could be... I just hope we won't be seeing Essien back at RB though.

/edit

integral in the sense of, if we hadn't had him in the first season, what would have we done
