Paulo Ferreira

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I think that he´s still here to settle all the portugeezers and brazilians in. Sometimes that is more important - helping younger players getting settled and making them feel like having someone to talk to. I think that is worth 80k a week. Better than getting rid off and having distressed new footballers who feel isolated and alone.

...You can't be serious.

Then maybe it's time we give him a position in our coaching staff so he can make room for another player on the team.

[diskoviolente 425]

of course it sounds redicolous, but i think that we should be more careful in how we think towards our players and club politics.

It is not that easy that you just axe a player no matter what.

Coaching staff sounds like a reasonable idea, but i think we still could do with him in our squad.

There always has to be something to complain about.

Poor Paulo, what a faithful servant to the club he has been.

Can't we go back to bashing Torres again, at least he deserves it.

In the end, the players will ask to board to keep poor Salomon so that the fans don't pick a new victim

Oh and poor Nando isn't bad, it is just that he doesn't get enough time and ball service :toke:

It's the "poor faithful servant" sentiment that is being challenged. Not without reason, too.

Dumb topic tbh.

You and the topic have something in common then.

[Hd123 5]

Deserves a start in the next match? Or at least a sub apperance?

[francozola 2,040]

I'd play him over Bosingwa tbh

[zolayes 14,489]

when Paolo came on Bale vanished ,,,,

[Swedish House Mafia 508]

What people don't realise is that he's still a very good defender. He doesn't have the pace but his got the brains.

[Hd123 5]

I'd like to see something like:

Ferreira-----Luiz-------JT-----Cole

For the next game. AVB said that players who perform in games and in training are more likely to get a chance, and I hope he sticks with his word. Just because of his age does not mean he shouldn't play.

[Joker10 946]

I have always said Ferreira > Bosingwa. Last season then preseason Ferreira has constantly outperformed Bosingwa.

[YankinBlue42 72]

Fantastic performance today in a pinch. I'd be fine with AVB giving him a more serious look.

[JordCFC 13]

He actually suprised me with his performance. As YankinBlue said, I'd be happy too.

The same happened last season but no-one even stopped to congratulate him...

A proper professional, hasn't played for months but he comes on and plays like that - that will shut the haters up for another month. I don't see why he's being attacked, he's a good squad player to have.

[Tomo 21,681]

With the 3 games in 8 days coming up, Paulo has to be used in atleast one of them.

I said in the Spurs V Chelsea match thread he would start as he could handle Bale and Bosingwa can't and i was right. I think people remember the April 2010 WHL game too much when Paulo did get slaughtered by Bale but since then Paulo must have assesed what he did wrong in that game because since then he has faced Bale twice and not given him a sniff, sign of a class player?

Missed the 2nd half.. I guess he did well judging by the comments?
