Thats stupid. Maicon is a good player, and when good players join the club, the club gets stronger, How can you be happy with a good player moving to another club?

He is too old and has not been playing well the last season! Debuchy, piszeck and azpi are all good players too and would make me happy!

Maicon is only 30, I hope you didnt know it, because only a stupid guy would say a 30 years old player is too old, and how can you discard player because he didnt played well one season? Pirlo was not playing well at Milan when he left, but the quality was there. Sometimes a player needs fresh air and new challenges to start playing good again.

This is not fantasy football, good players that can make us strong shall always come and play here, not only your favorite ones.

But so far we've been linked with youngsters attacking wise to be the future of the club. Surely this should be no exception. Ivanovic should be first choice RB with a younger, up and coming player behind him to come in and then take over for the future. It seems Hutchinson wont be trusted but there are younger right backs out there playing for less established clubs that could possibly go up to the next level like some that have been mentioned numerous times. Surely the £6m price tag shows that Maicon is not great any more?

I know how old he is and what does my opinion have to do with fantasy football? And calling me stupid wont make your point better and i dont think i am the only one who thinks he is too old! So get over it and paying large wages and 6 mil for a player that has had a bad season and is 30+ cant be better than getting debuchy for the same amount and saving on his wages. Debuchy had a very good season and good euros! It surprises me how you cant see that. Most probably he is brazilian that is why you want him!

Will Maicon or Ivanovic be happy with being 2nd choice? Who is genuinely going to be happy at being 2nd choice unless they are an untried nobody?

There's a good chance that Maicon will be second choice if he does come here. He might not be happy, but Chelsea will probably be the last big club in Europe he'll play for and so he might be content with that.

probably neither of them will really be 2nd choice! we have so many games to play next season, there will be so much rotating, so both could end up playing a similar amount of games.

Someone at the end of their prime.

Maicon was/is the best RB in the world, no disagreements there!

But I think personally we should aim for someone younger, we're looking to build a squad for the long haul, I mean look at our signings/potential signings so far..

Eden Hazard; 21

Marko Marin ; 23

Hulk : 25

Maicon: 30

I just don't think its what we need, let him play out his twilight in Madrid where he (allegedly) wants to be and lets get PIszczek, Debuchey, Azpilicueta ( a name I still can't pronounce) or even Van Der Weil (but maybe not) Just saying guys, we've got Luiz, Cahill, Bertrand to make up our backline in future seasons so why not keep it young(ish) and fresh with an up and comer?

1. None of those younger names will want to be 2nd choice

2. Never mention Van Der Wiel on this forum again.

I don't get where the second choice reference came from?

I think it's safe to say that starting RB is Ivanovic's to lose. Anyone we bring in, regardless of age will have to expect to come in as second fiddle, and earn the starting role if they can. At least, I think that's what he was getting at. From that perspective, it makes a lot more sense to buy Maicon, since with his age, he should be content with the second choice position. It's not like he's not going to play - Bosingwa played, what, 30 matches last seaon? 20 matches should be more than reasonable for Maicon to play in, and that reduced work load will be enough to keep him in form, but not enough to put him at increased fatigue or injury risk. And, it gives us time to wait a few years for our up and coming talent to develop, since they're not ready yet.

So Marca are reporting that Madrid have ruled out signing Maicon - Despite Mourinho's best efforts to convince them. Maicon preferred Madrid, but will have to settle for Chelsea. Seems like this will be concluded soon (this week).

I still think he'll come here and be first choice.

Happy to hear this. Seems like a formality now :D

What about Ivanovic?!

After all Ivanovic has done for all us in recent years, there is no way someone is just gonna come in and push him aside as the 1st choice of the RB slot.
