🇵🇹 Jose Bosingwa

[gunsmith 26]

Also, his overall in PES is 87 if I remember well.

Waaay to much for him.

Im not saying he's a bad player, but I'm saying he's not what Chelsea needs. He's not the Chelsea-player-type if you ask me.

[bababoom 4,478]

No point in looking at stats, does stats show how many times he 'forgot' to track someone? it's no coincidence that most of us here want him sold.

[Superblue 6,372]

Despite playing well and fairly disciplined in the Champs League final, watch after Robben misses the penalty. Cech kicks the ball out and Bayern break again immmediately after. Robben on the right cuts inside and tries to shoot from 25 yards out with Lampard and Cole closing him down.

Watch Bosingwa...he runs from right back to try and close down Robben, and in doing so leaves TWO Bayern players at the back post through on goal. If Robben had looked up either would have been through on goal.

That sums up Bosingwa as a defender, and unfortuntely that has always been his undoing, a lack of positional awareness/discipline and concentration.

[Jase 43,479]

Not wanting to be too disrespectful to Bosingwa here because he has played his part in our recent success but is it really worth discussing about his defensive deficiencies anymore now that he has been released?!

[Luke 60]

He wasn't a bad player, just lacked concentration at times.

[Steve 10,227]

I remember when we first signed Boss, it was a very good signing at the time and he was playing some very good football for us. Even defended quite well! Then he got his serious knee injury and he never was the same. It's so hard to come back from a knee injury, I have been there myself and I still fight the pain everyday.

[ChelseaChick 430]

I just didn't like him, I tried but no.

oh my!

How is that an article? It's barely a sentence!

And can someone please move this to the ex-players? We've been to do so for what seems like a decade.

Better him than England's Brave John "I knee opponents when I like" Terry lifting the trophy. He shouldn't have even been permitted to climb those steps; in the past, he wouldn't have been. Bosingwa didn't act the cunt in Barcelona and jeopardise our chances of even getting to Munich.

Hating a man who did more to win our first European Cup, and daring to celebrate that by lifting the trophy during the main photo op; instead of a disgraced captain who is hated by virtually every non-Chelsea fan lifting it (for good reason) is very unfair on Bosingwa.

Bosingwa wasn't the only one, Meireles, Lampard and Ivanovic all used the trophy to blot out John Terry, are you going to hate them as well? At least the captain, the one deserving to lift the trophy, Lampard was fully visible; and he had the decency to allow others to lift it unlike most captains who take it up by themselves.

If the roles had been reversed, if it was Bosingwa who got himself sent off in a rush of blood in Barcelona we'd all be screaming murder instantly. If he then had the audacity to come up the stairs and take part in the celebrations we'd wish death upon him and his family. Enough of the double standards, just because he's English and happens to be one of Chelsea's greatest ever defenders, it does not absolve him of that terrible decision he made.

dont care tbh at the end of the day Terry was there and the photo op should have been him and lamps with DD and Cech next to them, that pic ^^^ is the biggest joke of a pic ever

I'd argue against that. Lifting that trophy has taken more than 10 years to achieve and was played on many more pitches than the just the Allianz's. John Terry's played a massive part in that. I'd even go as far to say that John Terry has played a much greater part in Jose Bosingwa's winners medal collection with Chelsea than Bosingwa ever did.

Terry is a twat though

CAPTAIN, LEADER, LEGEND

[capriccioso 2,545]

He could have done what he liked in the 10 years preceding but the point is because of his idiocy we could have missed out on Munich, and he steams out and acts as though he was fully deserving of a spot in that photo. Good to see Bosingwa, Meireles and Lampard were having none of it by deliberately shutting him out. UEFA had it right before by not permitting banned players to take part in the major celebration when the team is first handed the trophy.

And perhaps they let Bosingwa lift it. It's not as though he knocked it out of their hands, gave Terry an uppercut to ensure he wouldn't be in the picture and stole the trophy. They let him hold it. He walked over and Lampard gave it to him. Have you considered that no one likes Terry and that Bosingwa is a favourite within the dressing room? That's a possibility.

The bottom line is that the players were happy to let Bosingwa hog the limelight, not just happy, they encouraged him. He was a decent player for us and deserves more than to be hated for something as simple as being permitted to lift a trophy.

At least Kalou got to immortalize his abs in the club's history books

Meh. At the end of the day, I'm just glad Jose Bosingwa & Kalou are no longer Chelsea players. Two of the ugliest players i've seen in a long time.

[capriccioso 2,545]

I hope you don't mean ugly in a aesthetic sense. Kalou is an Adonis, a black David, the perfect man. Bosingwa, one can argue is somewhat ugly because of that monobrow, but he's no Dirk Kuyt.

Disgraced captain? Shouldn't have even been permitted to climb those steps? So basically you mean "fuck jt and fuck all those years when he has been our captain, fuck everything that he has done for us, he screwed up at camp Nou, so the hell with him"?

I really dont understand how a chelsea fan can be against Terry lifting the trophey.

Please tell me you're having a laugh. These comments make you sound like a supporter/glory hunter who knows nothing about Chelsea FC. Without our captain we would not of been in the semi final. So he made a stupid mistake and everyone does it he is automatically not worthy of lifting the trophy.... What an absolute load of bollocks.

This thread may now joins the annals of despair and hatred, where all threads whom have fallen from grace decay and fade from memory.
