Shane 2,275 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I prefer Ivanovic tbh, Patient, Better defender then the Boss and a better crosser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matterz 67 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I think each player gives us something different, Ivanovic is world class but lets not forget how good Bosingwa is either, remeber how he marked Messi out the game in the Champions League semi final? Remeber his bombing runs forward and his balls into the box and his pace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 ok, lets say this guys... Ivanovic and Bosingwa.. are both awesome players and have differant qualities about them, but nonetheless they are both fantastic foootballers, i don't think its fair to really compare them tbh.

Shane 2,275 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Better crosser? Please be serious mate.Yes I can, Ivanovic's crosses this season have been top top class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Yes I can, Ivanovic's crosses this season have been top top class.I agree! I think Ivanovic is a fantastic crosser of the ball, he enjoys getting down the flank, and he's very quick at doing that! And he performed really well for us at right back while Bos has been out.

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Ivanovic has been solid at Right back, and with Bosingwa and Hutchinson i don't we need anymore cover for the Right side. Nor with the left with Zhirkov, Ashley and Van Aanholt as well as possiblity from Bertrand.We don't need anymore defenders, when and if Carvalho goes then we have Bruma and Mancienne and Cork who would fight for the role.Youngsters from Chelsea is better then bringing someone who would take a large amount of money from the club with a stupid wage and not be played.

Badboy 1,526 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Bosingwa is a better full back then ivo and he gives us a lot lot more going forward, he is like a winger, the balance is really good with ash down the other full back position.

Randall 315 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Don't get me wrong I love Ivanovic he's one of my favourite players, but he's not a better crosser than Bosingwa, Bosingwa is a better attacking full back by a long distance!

kakuta44 16 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 i dont really know why are you discussing this !!!!!!! the difference between bos and ivan is very clear and obviousto anyone ....ivanovic is a better defender and bosingwa is a better attacker ... ivanovic is stronge and tougher but bosingwa is faster and more skillful .... we will be using bosingwa against small teams when we need to attack and when we need balance we probably will use ivanovic in big games .......

Duppy Conqueror 1,534 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Chelsea hit back in summer transfer battle with bid for David Luiz as Ramires says 'Yes'EXCLUSIVE By Simon Cass Last updated at 11:01 PM on 23rd July 2010Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is preparing to land a significant blow in his transfer battle with Manchester City. Not satisfied with winning the race to sign Benfica midfielder Ramires in a £20million deal, Abramovich has sanctioned a second raid on the Portuguese club for their £27m-rated defender David Luiz. The double swoop signals a return to Chelsea's big-spending days that coincided with the Russian's arrival at Stamford Bridge, and manager Carlo Ancelotti has set about reinforcing his double-winning squad with the best of Brazil's young talent. Take that, City: Chelsea have upped the ante in their summer transfer battle with Man City with a £27m bid for Benfica's David Luiz (L) as Ramires says 'Yes'The extravagant transfer moves are also sure to deliver a bloody nose to Manchester City, who have also been closely tracking Ramires and Luiz. Up to now, Sheik Mansour's billions have seen City press on unopposed during the summer transfer window, with Roberto Mancini having already splashed out more than £80m on players. Making changes: Carlo Ancelotti wants to strengthen his title-winning sideBut while City are likely to be challenging for honours this season following a major overhaul, it seems Chelsea's recent history of success has proved decisive in convincing 23-year-old Ramires that his future lies at Stamford Bridge. Sportsmail exclusively revealed the details of Chelsea's £20m move for Ramires on Thursday. And barring any last-minute hitches, his transfer will be finalised at the end of next week, after a holiday in his native Brazil following his exploits in the World Cup. Ancelotti will doubtless be delighted to have got his man having searched for a central midfielder to replace Michael Ballack following his return to Bayer Leverkusen, while Deco is expected to join Brazilian side Fluminense. Luiz, 23, is seen as a future star for Brazil having represented his country at Under 20 level. And he his already proved his class with Benfica, having been an ever-present last season as the Lisbon side won their first domestic title for five years. Enlarge How Sportsmail lead the way on ThursdayChelsea have firmed up their interest after losing Luiz's countryman Alex to a torn thigh muscle which will rule him out for a month. In addition, if Chelsea are successful in pulling off a deal for Ruiz, who like Ramires has attracted the interest of top clubs across Europe, then it may signal the end of Ricardo Carvalho's stay at Stamford Bridge. Under threat: Ricardo Carvalho's Stamford Bridge days are numberedCarvalho's former manager, Jose Mourinho, is understood to be keen for a reunion at Real Madrid. However, Rafa Benitez is eager to have the benefit of Carvalho's experience at Inter Milan as he tries to emulate Mourinho's treble winning exploits at the San Siro. There could be a decidedly samba rhythm to Chelsea's play next season if they are also successful with a £17m move for Santos's 18-year-old striker Neymar.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 23-years-old, not a bad player to sign. We're going a bit Brazilian aren't we? Imagine we add Kaká to that list ...Just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Chelsea and Manchester City are fighting a two-way battle to sign £25 million-rated Benfica defender David Luiz.According to the Daily Star, Blues manager Carlo Ancelotti is planning to make a double swoop from the Portuguese club, as the Italian is close to signing Brazil international Ramires for £17m next week.In addition, Ancelotti is also planning to sign Luiz, who impressed in Benfica’s Europa League defeat against Liverpool last season.The 23-year-old defender is now Chelsea’s main target with Alex suffering from a thigh injury and the club being concerned over the long-term fitness of John Terry. However, City are also in the mix for the Brazilian and have the money to outbid Chelsea for the star defender.Ancelotti has not added a big signing to his Double-winning squad this summer and has seen Michael Ballack, Joe Cole and Juliano Belletti leave the club this summer.----------------------------------------Source:- goal.com---------------------------------------Can I ask two things....1) why are City even going in for David Luiz when their main concern is reducing their 37-man squad to 25??2) Do we really need this guy? And at £27 million?? We have Ivanovic, (who is comfortable at right back AND centre back) and of course Bosingwa, who will be coming back from injury soon?

And at £27 million?? We have Ivanovic, (who is comfortable at right back AND centre back) and of course Bosingwa, who will be coming back from injury soon?on the surface..no we don`t need him..but i`ve thought about it a bit more and maybe we do..Bos has a year left on his contract..although it has been stated that he will be back soon,maybe the medical staff have advised Carlo that in the long term,the injury is something that may hinder Bos for the rest of his career..say for example the way Ledley King`s knees have..maybe not as bad as Ledley`s ,but bad enough for Carlo and the club to be unwilling to offer Bos an extension to his current contract and will let him become a free agent at the end of the season.so say Carlo sees Ivanovic as the long term RB for us..(Carlo has said that in the past that Bran`s best position is CB..but he may have or could change his mind on that..)the current starters at CB from the end of last year were Alex & JT...both players who in recent years have picked up various injuries and missed games because of them..JT will turn 30 this year and Alex has just turned 28..neither old but again..maybe due to injuries their bodies arent as "young" as their age suggests.we have Bruma..but he is at 18, probably 2 or 3 years,maybe more, away from being ready to be a regular starter..by which time Alex will be 31 and JT 33,maybe older...also both are similar players.so to clarify my post so far...Ivanovic moves to RB..leaving Alex & JT who miss games through injury every season in recent years and a too young to yet start on a regular basis Bruma, as our top 3 CB...Riccy is on the verge of leaving, so we wont have him to rely upon in the future..Luiz offers something that we don`t currently have at CB ..he`s faster than JT & Alex and although Alex & JT were an impressive partnership at the end of last season..against top notch attacking teams with speed..they have and may struggle again..where as having Luiz back there could combat that..remember JT`s best performances have come when he`s partnered with a fast CB like Riccy or Gallas ....Luiz has also played at fullback for Benfica on many occasions prior to this last season, so he would add depth there too.we could play Mancienne at CB..but i believe personally that his best position would either be at DM or RB..and despite what seems to be the general opinion..although we look set to be signing Ramires..i don`t personally see him as a DM for us. don`t get me wrong tho..i`m not trying to say that we should definately buy Luiz...i`m just trying to point out what may be the reasons behind us going for a player like Luiz..when on the surface in defense, we appear set.
