ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 id love to see davy luiz in the DM role allowing jt, brana, alex and ash to all play at the back Bosnian Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 sell him we dont need him anymore! Van der wiel luiz terry cole! ivanovic as backup!Luiz will be world class soon, he's definitely on his way. But we still need Alex until this happens.I agree we need VdW though.

lionsden 4,689 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'd say Alex is the best defender out of the four of them... I totally echo that view. Alex>>>Ivanovic>>>>>terry. evaluation based on the past 2 seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I hope not, I've always loved Alex. Though if he decides to go i'll wish him all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Blue 469 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 This would decrease our squad depth.We know that every season we have injuries,and leaving only Terry and Luiz fit (considering Ivanovic will play right back) we could be in trouble again.We should just rotate like most big teams do and keep our players happy.Alex is a machine and i want him to stay and i am sure many supporters do.

I'm hoping he does not leave. Love the man. Great defender and a great free kick taker. In big games, you need the experience of an experienced man like Alex, and if he leaves we will all no doubt miss him and feel his absence. I'd much rather Alex before Luiz in a game against a team like Barcelona, or Real Madrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Letting him go will be a huge mistake, specially when Luiz still has to get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 IMO Alex is technically a better CB than Terry, but the leadership is something else you need to have. It would be horrible if we sold him. neel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5354 204 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 As of now, I think Alex needs to stay.Ivanovic is probably the best RB, (yes, better than Bosingwa defensively). Attacking wise, I think he just needs to improve on his crosses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhead23 1,147 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Not sure if you guys noticed it but Terry's performance is being on a decline for the past 2 season, his performance is getting inconsistent though his commitment makes up. However having Alex would give so much option to a manager, say Terry is giving so rest to recover we still have Ivanovic/Luiz - Luiz/Ivanovic - Alex - Cole running the show which i feel is still a very very strong backline. Alex is a real talent selling him off would again mean that Chelsea doesnt respect talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 YES ...sell Alex and can just see the scenario in November . Terry ..back injury out for 6 weeks .. Luiz and Bran serving 3 match suspensions ..back 4 ?? ?? ?? cole Liquidator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 We wont sell Alex. I know were one of the shittest teams in the transfer market like in history but even this would top the list of idiocy. Alex is at his peak, perfect age and he's so strong. Terry was actually very good last season and Alex hardly played so it can't be judged on last season but JT aint getting any younger. I love Alex, world class defender and a very good footballer in general. If we get rid of Alex, i'd be gutted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 You only have to look at his last 2 games since he came back from injury- A brilliant second half performance against United including a wonderful off the line clearance and goal-saving tackle and against Newcastle where he scored a goal which could have won us the game. He is very reliable as well- the only mistakes I have ever seen him make were against Newcastle away (mix up with Cech) and Newcastle home (poor pass, JT has to make bad tackle they score a lucky goal from the free kick)On the subject of free-kicks he offers something else to Drogba and lets face it, when they go in they are brilliant. I love big 'Al and it would be a horrible decision to let him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Alex is a performance lifter! His performance at Old Trafford in the Champions League proves why letting him go would be a huge mistake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson 358 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 We definately need to keep him. How long is left on his contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwylino 329 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Id keep him. but Bluelion i have a alex 33 shirt too and most of the time when i just get a shirt the player leaves the next season. so i hope that karma isnt affected here. When as people mentioned above. terry out ivanovic luiz suspended. who are we left with much. Bruma? we already got rid of mancienne. Paulo? Shift someone back there. I think on that thought it would be better to keep alex. Besides who else apart from Drogba (who also might leave) is going to strike them powerful 30+ yard free kicks.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Selling Mancienne and a loan move for Bruma would reaffirm that we are not selling Alex this summer... at least if we have an ounce of common sense.Ivanovic should be converted to a full-time RB now, every time he is moved back to his 'natural' position he always seems to be the one caught out. Alex, Luiz and Terry should form our central defence, Ferreira and Ivanovic on the right, Cole and Bertrand (and Zhirkov and Patch) on the left.

Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I know it's controversial but I think Alex is the BEST Central defender at the club... Problem is you can't replace Terry's leadership at all... if it wasn't for that Alex would be one of the first names on the team sheet for me. eldo and BlueLion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
