Rumoured Maicon

[Kisho 33]

Maicon or Azp ? Azp. Cause he can be back up now and he can be ivano's successor

[Jype 6,398]

Apparently the Spanish newspaper Marca are reporting that a deal is very close to being agreed and the player himself has opted for Chelsea over PSG. Still not warming up for this but let's hope he will prove me wrong if he indeed is coming. The deal reminds me of Belletti and he did very well for a couple of years...

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Yes! Seems like this rumour is picking up steam. I thought it was another baseless rumour but looks like it is actually true

[Kieran. 6,317]

I'm fine with it. We're only talking about a backup RB, people. Maicon will do just fine.

[Jusek 2,031]

Would be great to get him here as a backup right back. Ivanovic/Maicon would be a very solid RB pair.

If we have to play Maicon against Spurs it will be the same as Ferreira playing against them in December 2010.

Just because Bale got the better of him last time the world and his dog assumed he will do again by right, and like Paulo then, Maicon will surprise us.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

if we sign maicon wont be surprised to see 3-2-4-1 hahahahaha

was he my personal choice no not really, but who cares bout my opinion, only gota judge what board thinks! maicon and ramirea on right side (for couple of games cuz we surely will get rw) looks really really good, imagine run after run after run after run, both could interchange really and couse problems for lesser teams as well as any team!

please dont drag this out, get him in, and sign that winger and we look set.

that goal at 2010 world cup is what i always remember of maicon, just another brazilian comin in and strengthening our team!!

piazon, luiz, ramires, ferriera (portugese) now maicon! damn, welcome to the ENG/Brazilian/Belgian Chelsea FC!!!

cheeky work from board i think we all would agree. hahahaha

Chelsea have emerged as favourites to sign Brazil right-back Maicon from Inter Milan after Real Madrid shelved their interest.

Maicon is available for around £6million as his contract has one year to run but Real believe that fee plus high wages are too much for a player who turns 31 later this month.

Chelsea also have an interest in Lille’s Mathieu Debuchy who is the subject of a £6m bid from Newcastle.

Even Real Madrid feel the high wages is too much for a 31 year old and here we are wanting to get him.

After reading that, Im actually buying into that this wouldnt be so bad afterall, but frankly it could be quite good.

[Term-X 7,891]

The general consensus is that 'when rested' Maicon can still be a very good player. Which is perfect for a role as cover for Ivanovic, as long as we don't over pay, this wouldn’t be all that bad a signing. Also as the WAGNH article mentioned, Todd Kane and other RB 'prospects' can go out on loan/develop without fearing they'll never get a chance to fight for a place.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

It seems he could even become our starting right back. It would leave Ivanovic and Cahill/Luiz as CB cover and Ivanovic could always play RB when a more defensive option is needed.

[Blue Armour 4,436]

I initially had doubts, but since our target is a backup RB this is not a bad option in the slightest. The better option would be to snap up a young, unproven RB but since that's in short supply...

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

I just read the rumors today and feel that it wouldn't be a bad deal at all.The transfer amount only concerns me and anything in the single figure will truly be a great buy.
