once again is that a joke?

Id say, Boswinga and Maicon are 2 of the best RB's in the world. Id put them ahead of Alves.

Boswinga has put in a class performance in the first season of the premier league. I hope he only gets better. Sometimes does some silly needless mistakes in the box while defending. Needs to get rid of that tendency. Going forward he is so swift almost like a winger. And the job he did on Messi by playing out of position, proves his defensive capabilities.

Real Madrid aren’t the only ones interested in Douglas Maicon, as Manchester City and Chelsea also prepare bids for the Inter star.

Right-back Maicon has said he is upset with his treatment at San Siro and felt “unappreciated” by the club.

While up until now Real have been the most likely option, others have now opened up, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport.

Inter must now weigh up three proposals to release their Brazilian defender.

Real Madrid have offered Wesley Sneijder plus £17m cash, a deal that interests President Massimo Moratti, who admires the Dutch international.

Manchester City know that Inter are considering a bid for Elano, so would put the midfielder on the plate alongside £7m.

Chelsea could well have the upper hand, though, as they can provide one of Jose Mourinho’s old Porto favourites as part of the deal – Deco or Ricardo Carvalho.

<h2 style="font-size: 1.05em; line-height: 1.05em;" class="padding-bottom-7">Chelsea last night swung their attention to £25million Brazilian Maicon Douglas. </h2> The Blues have missed out on long-term target Glen Johnson, with Liverpool confirming an £18.5m deal yesterday.

But Inter Milan right-back Maicon has impressed in the Confederations Cup in South Africa and kept Barcelona ace Dani Alves out of Brazil's starting line-up.

Inter will accept £25m for the 27-year-old defender and are even willing to part with idol Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 27, for another £50m.

Chelsea will appeal against UEFA's punishments following the Euro semi defeat to Barcelona at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues were fined £85,000 for improper conduct of players and missile throwing by fans.

Didier Drogba was banned for six Euro games, two suspended for two years, while Jose Bosingwa was banned for four matches, one suspended

bosingwa is better than maicon (who is better than ivanovic and alves) but if bosingwa is used in possible deal to bring either ribery or another high calibre player then the slight drop in talent from bosingwa to maicon is justified.

that said, at least we won't be stuck with johnson again

IF the roumers of us right back hunting are true, then it is clear that as Bosingwa is wanted at Bayern then we are trying to do a deal with them to bring Ribery to the bridge and Bosingwa going the other way.

We certainly won't make the mistake of doing the deal with Bayern before securing a right back replacement.

[chrismada9 1,948]

I still think losing Bosingwa is a bad idea!!

Bayern are asking for too much money for Ribery anyway, and Man United have probably got enough money from the Ronaldo transfer to sign him.

Maicon - pointless signing!! We're bringing in like for like, and we should be investing in BETTER!!

I agree, Bosingwa is younger and will improve and is settled at Chelsea and in England, why replce him, it will just cost money that we should be investing elsewhere

[Badboy 1,526]

Why cant we just invest in places that need FUCKING INVESTING ?

Inter Milan chief Marco Branca is in London today for transfer talks with Chelsea.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Branca will attempt to agree a fee for Chelsea pair Deco and Ricardo Carvalho and try to include Nicolas Burdisso in their offer.

Meanwhile, Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti's interest in Inter fullback Douglas Maicon will also be discussed as a separate deal. The Serie A champs rate the Brazilian in the £25 million class.

Why the fuck do we want Maicon for 25M?

[chrismada9 1,948]

Citeh want him as well now. Is everyone really surprised?? :thumbsdown:

[Rambo 1,729]

Maicon is an excellent right back, but since Bosingwa is fitting in so nicely, why waste the money on him?

[chrismada9 1,948]

spot on Tech9C

[millzy_chelsea_fan 4]

we dont need a right back as bosingwa is mint but maicon is the best in the world and it looks like bosingwa is off to bayern munich
