Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 The Sun...... Alex: Let me quit Chelsea PHIL SCOLARI has been rocked by a transfer request from Alex. The Brazil defender hopes to move on from Chelsea next month. Alex said: “I told Chelsea a few days ago that I wanted to leave. “There are many options. But I have to think them through and see if Chelsea will let me leave in January.” It is a major blow for boss Scolari, who has failed to get on with his countryman since arriving in London in July. AC Milan and Seville have already expressed an interest in the £10million-rated centre-back. Alex is frustrated by his lack of first-team involvement, having made just 12 appearances so far this season. He knows he is third-choice behind John Terry and and Ricardo Carvalho. But what really worries the Brazil star is he will fail to make his country’s 2010 World Cup team. Brazil boss Dunga currently prefers Lucio and Juan as his central defenders and has told Alex he needs to play more games to be considered. Alex has not even been on the bench for the South Americans’ most recent qualifiers. The player, who began his career with Santos, came to Chelsea via PSV Eindhoven. The Blues paid one dollar for him when he moved in the summer of 2007, after being on loan with the Dutch outfit for three years. The silver lining for Scolari is that any money generated by a sale could help finance buying a top new striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) This is a load of rubbish, I like Alex Plus a fact, he's played a lot of games this season because Carvalho has been out injured, so how could he possibly complain??

True_Blue 469 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 The Blues paid one dollar for him when he moved in the summer of 2007, after being on loan with the Dutch outfit for three years And we would sell him for 10mill? We would have 20 mill with Roman's 10 mill,so thats good money for a striker or winger. Still i like him very much and i don't want him out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wes 7,212 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Chelsea defender Alex has stunned the club by asking to leave Stamford Bridge. The Brazilian international has set his sights on a move away from Chelsea when the transfer window reopens after failing to hold down a regular place in the side. Alex has struggled to hold down a regular place in the Chelsea side since his arrival from PSV Eindhoven due to the form of Ricardo Carvalho and John Terry. Panathinaikos are leading the chase for the tough-tackling defender and have sounded out Alex about a move to Greece. AC Milan and Sevilla are also believed to be interested in Alex and the player hopes Chelsea will let him leave. "I told Chelsea a few days ago that I wanted to leave," Alex is quoted as saying in The Sun. "There are many options. But I have to think them through and see if Chelsea will let me leave in January." Alex's possible departure would be a blow to Blues boss Luiz Felipe Scolari as he looks to challenge for honours at home and abroad and it remains to be seen if he will grant the player's wish to leave.

chrismada9 1,948 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 This really does shock me to be honest :mellow: I don't want him to leave, but obviously we cannot keep a player who clearly has ambitions away from the club it's a shame really, I love Alex, he's an amazing defender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kez 2,727 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 If it's true then i'll be gutted He's a fantastic defender, but him leaving gives us the ideal chance to get Mancienne into the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be mistranslated tho' so if he is, he'll probably deny it. Anyway....Alex is a girls name LOL. There are many women named Terry here... If it's true then i'll be gutted He's a fantastic defender, but him leaving gives us the ideal chance to get Mancienne into the team. Unless we buy someone new. Won't surprise me if we actually do.
