Everyone seems to be hating on the idea of signing this guy! He's 31 at the end of this month! So fucking what?? In 2007, we signed Belletti at almost the exact same age... he became a legend after 3 years service, scoring some of the most spectacular goals of his career, not to mention all the trophies he won with us! He's now a huge Chelsea fan! Maicon is not just a good utility player, he's a bloody brilliant one, and to get him for £6m is in my opinion, a real bargain! If you think about the likes of Bosingwa during last season... I know he was outstanding in the Champions League semi-final and onwards, but his display under AVB was instantly questionable.. and.. if you look at him, he seems very lightweight, and isn't very good defensively! Maicon is the complete package! If you tell him to go forward, he will go forward, if you tell him to stay back and defend, he will stay back and defend.. he's built to be that player, and looks a lot more heavyweight than Bosingwa! I'd be glad to have him and welcome him at Chelsea! And the other good thing, is that the Brazilian contingent will help him settle! Ramires, Luiz, Piazon... ... I say yes, yes and YES to Maicon!
