BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misschief 24 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 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.

Elliott 7 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Bit of a silly comment made by Ivanovic, let me reiterate by claiming that "no player is bigger than the club" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 If his name wasn't Alex would you still think the same Possibly My point is, is that Ivanovic was signed for a lot of money, indicating the club wanted him, but I don't think he can consider himself better than a defender who is established on the world stage with Portugal and the European stage with Chelsea in Carvalho, and a Brazil international who has the potential to be one of the best defenders in the Premier League.

Absolutely, although if the lad feels he is that good, then fine, prove it! We would all love to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Yep. The reason he hasn't played for us yet is because his season had been over for two months by the time we had signed him! He was lacking match fitness and we had Alex in the squad, anyway. Hope to see BI2 in action soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time he was fit it was never the right time for him to get involved with first team playing action. Lets see what he can do in pre season.
