Elliott 7 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Well interestingly there's been no more news on this for hours. Either West Ham are leaving it late or it's fell through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliott 7 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 It might just be that it's done but West Ham have yet to announce it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Didnt he just sign a new deal just before Scolari was announced as manager? I thought BPS was behind that in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Paulo Ferreira is staying at Chelsea, well at least that's a good thing we can take out of this headache of a day don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Paulo Ferreira is staying at Chelsea, well at least that's a good thing we can take out of this headache of a day don't you think? Not really. Ferreira is hardly integral to the squad and we could cope without him with what we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) Not really. Ferreira is hardly integral to the squad and we could cope without him with what we have. Stop being so fuckin negative for fuck sake... "not good enough", "could be better" ... he's a good player, loyal and doesn't bitch. What else do you want ? -EDIT- The loyal part is still under some doubt .. lala Edited September 1, 2008 by manpe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferreira is hardly integral to the squad and we could cope without him with what we have. tbh I would rather have Ferreira at the club than people like Belletti. People have said earlier in this thread Ferreira is more defensive. I agree with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) the amount of right-backs = 3 ... 2 would already be "little" or "normal" ... Bella, Jose and Paulo ... With the shortage in the middle park Belletti was called up, leaving only 2 possibilities on the right. As a manager I would love the choice, defensive or attacking player. If it was between Belletti and Ferreira, I'd choose Ferra because Bosingwa is already attack-minded and so is Bella. but yeah okay no hard feelings, I just get a bit upset when some people get carried away judging players and not giving credit. Ferra was integral in the first season... he has fallen a bit short in the last few seasons, but he was still an integral part in the most succesful squad of the club's history.

Elliott 7 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 3 right-backs is more than necessary. But we have Ivanovic also. So that's 4. And 2 options even after one is moved elsewhere is fine. We don't need 3 players for every position. I don't think Ferreira was ever integral to our team. He's a good player, but not outstanding. We have been trying to improve on the right-back position since a year after we got him, which tells it's own story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope we won't be seeing Essien back at RB though. /edit integral in the sense of, if we hadn't had him in the first season, what would have we done Edited September 2, 2008 by manpe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliott 7 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 He was alright. Yeah Ferreira was better than him. But why should we keep a player because he was integral 5 seasons ago? That's just silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) We shouldn't... but as long as he wants to play for us and has quality to do it, why not. Better than having Cristiano Analdo at ManU. Again, if anybody is to leave from the right side, I would pick Bella.. because of his age mostly (hey, Ferreira doesn't blossom anymore either... so if you ask me, get them both out and get some Dani Alves in or stick with Ivanovic... but I tend to be happy with what we got) Edited September 2, 2008 by manpe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
