How the hell can he be offered a new contract ahead of John Terry?

He and Mikel are here because of their strength and 'stability' during their good periods. Utility players. Every club needs them; we're just over-depending on ours. 

Ivanovic should be here, but on the bench.

Ivanovic has been a sure starter with most if not all managers. Unfair to compare him with the legend.

Yes Ivanovic is on decline, but reckon the club thinks he can still contribute given the right protection and strong pre-season (different from what we had this season).

Branislav Ivanovic has agreed the terms of a contract extension at Chelsea and is likely to sign a one-year deal next month, with the option of a further 12 months if he plays a certain number of matches. Times

It's Emenalo's fault.

who else would be behind it we cant blame jose on this one now hes gone and i doubt guus behind it aswell??

Extremely bad decision by the Chelsea BOD.

I sincerely hope that Ivanovic is relegated to be a back-up player next season and it does not stop Azpiculletta from replacing him at right-back.

Not complaining about this, but why was this looked into ahead of JT's? Really peeved about that one....

I hope our next manager will leave him to train with the U21 squad as we did it to Malouda

Another season of him at RB ugh, this makes me sick.

[Special Juan 27,104]

See if this is correct this is the outlook that pisses me off with the board. It's quite plain and clear that Ivanovic is struggling, not only struggling but actually is very poor in quite a few aspects of the game. This isn't difficult to see, yet we are potentially wanting to extend a contract and allow him to continue playing. I have said before and will say again...You will not see pure fluency from Chelsea whilkst we continue with a RB at LB and a bloke who struggles to defend, attack and actually be consistent for a good period of time.

Paul Scholes said the same as I have been saying for ages....stop square pegs in round holes, stop shackling attacking players, stop shoe horning players into positions they struggle in and let fluency and rightful players positions happen.

Branislav Ivanovic is a very average player, and that's the problem right now, we have too fucking many.

I am hoping this extension is for one of those reason:

1) Getting a transfer fee in the summer.

2) Lowering his wages and keeping him as back-up.

The worst option is if we continue with him regularly next season as well.
