Ivanovic targets Blues place

[EskWeston 696]

Well lets keep our fingers crossed!!! Been no mention of Transfer talk for him yet!!!

Don't forget also that Mancienne and Alcides may well be looking at the 4th spot too. No mention anywhere if Mancienne or Alcides are involved with the training at the moment....

Actually, forget that. Just seen a training pic and Mancienne IS training with the first team. So is Franco Di Santo....

Good news there..

Was Sinclair training with the 1st team a while ago, too? :unsure:

Can only be good that we can hopefully see some of the youth players finally getting a break in the side.

Mancienne especially has been on loan quite a few seasons now, if he can establish himself within the squad we could well see the emergence of another John Terry.

I thought he was going out on loan till January?

Yes, Mancienne is a very bright prospect, done everything asked of him and is now a England Under 21's regular too. Clearly he is being given his chance to impress Scolari as is Di Santo...

Not sure what the deal is with Sinclair, there is talk of another loan spell for him but nothing confirmed yet. And from the looks of the pics from training available he isn't currently with the first team.

As far as i can tell the players currently training are:

Terry

Lampard

Ben Haim

Sidwell

Wright-Phillips

A.Cole

J.Cole

Alex

Bridge

Belletti

Ivanovic

Di Santo

Mancienne

Pizarro

Hilario

Cudicini

Although Sheva and Drogba are not pictured running with the group but both have been into training, Drogba is carrying an injury, maybe Sheva is too???

I read somewhere that a few of the players are away sorting out their visas for the pre-season tour, Maybe thats why they havent been in today :unsure:

No, I mean a couple seasons ago or something?

From what i could gather from CTV last night the players only had to take their passports in to training with them to get their Visa's sorted out, so they don't have to go anywhere..

To ssay he is better than Alex, is fine but to say that he is better than Carvalho who is according to many the BEST CB of CFC ( ie. better than terry), is utter foolishness.

I would go as far as saying Alex can be better than both Terry and Carvalho.

[misschief 24]

I think he was out of order (as well as wide of the mark) to say he's better than Carvalho but someone made a valid point on another forum - he was wanted by a lot of big clubs, we signed him, didnt play him and apparently didnt talk to him about it. He's supposed to be shit hot, so if we have have treated him badly we might live to regret it. On the other hand, a lot of what went on under Grant shouldnt be used against Scolari, the man hasnt even had time to assess the players yet, never mind decide who's staying or going.

If his name wasn't Alex would you still think the same

[Elliott 7]

I don't believe a player would be stupid enough to come out and say publicly that he is better than a team mate. It's just not the kind of thing you say unless you want to be made an outcast.

That was Johnson aswell wasn't it??

Bit of a silly comment made by Ivanovic, let me reiterate by claiming that "no player is bigger than the club"
