Rumoured Maicon

[Severinb 309]

Guys i can see your point but i just would keep ivan and get a young rb so he can learn from him and slowly become our new rb! It could be hutchinson or a player like azpi! And the price would be about the same because maicon will surrley earn pretty much! But i can see him helping our squad

I'm all for getting youth into the squad but I think defence is the last place you want to risk forcing in the youth. I'm more than happy having an average age of 30 in the defense. Experience > anything in defence more than any other position in football.

Maicon at RB = Ashley Cole at LB, with the proper rest, they are capable of elite level displays at this point in their career. Would love him here as a bridge until Brana gets old enough to become the backup and we go looking for a first choice RB in 3-4 years.

3 years is fine IMO. 4 years is just too much.

Would prefer 2 years with the possibility of extending by 1 more year later on.

Feels...sooooo gooood.

[Kisho 33]

He is to old for the type of money it will cost ( transfer fee and wages). The end.

Who's going to buy a 34 year old, knackered defender? Get real.

A Chinese team, a Middle eastern Team, a MLS Club, Anzi, Blackburn or a Brazilian Club.

I am not against this move.Hutchinson will be given the Ferriera role,which if you ask me won't be bad at all for him.Maicon will anyways leave in a year or two which will give Hutchinson enough time to develop into a regular starter or if not then the club to look at some serious right back candidates.

A Chinese team, a Middle eastern Team, a MLS Club, Anzi, Blackburn or a Brazilian Club.

And they'd pay no more than £100,000 for him, which will probably be equivalent to 1 week of his wages.

[francozola 2,040]

Anything more than a 2 year contract will be ridiculous. There's no way we'd be able to get rid of him considering his wages and we'd be stuck with yet another 32++ year old who barely contributes anything

Would prefer 2 years with the possibility of extending by 1 more year later on.

That'd be even better yes.

Italian media claim Maicon's move to Chelsea has stalled over length of contract he wants at Stamford Bridge.

A couple of links over the last day or two have cropped up with Azpilicueta so the rumours regarding this possibly breaking down may be true.

[Spike 12,049]

This deal is having a slow painful death.

If the Debuchy bid rumour is true then the move must be off.

We bid for Debuchy!? I must have missed that.
