BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Bruma isn't good enough, Ivanovic is inconsistent (though I blame this on his conversion to right-back, it has ruined his positional sense slightly, I feel) and Luiz is still adapting to the pace and power of English football. The only reason Terry starts every week is because he is our captain. Alex, without doubt, is our best centre-back and would be first choice at any other club. Not only is he superb defensively, but he is so vastly underrated in an attacking sense, though everyone knows his free-kick skill. And if Guus comes in, there is no way he would leave.I can guarantee he will start our first game of the season if Hiddink signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That right there is an oxymoron - he's been our best player for the last 2 years.But I agree Terry is only a starter because he's captain, he was excellent last season but in terms of ability I would prefer Alex. eldo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you misunderstand my point, I'm referring to Ivanovic the CB, not Ivanovic the RB. He's great as a full-back, but looks like a rabbit lost in headlights positionally when he plays in the centre now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Homer2Chelsea Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Sorry to bump this but the less news there is about Alex leaving the better. I am personally happy because i believe he is the best defender at the club, and hopefully AVB could see this aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know Alex was 29...however I still don't wan't to lose him.I want to see him play with Luiz at CB this season, sure Terry is good but the last time I checked the nerve damage in his leg was putting him in a lot of pain.

Guest justin_3d Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 If we Sell Alex and get Dann or Cahill it won't be that bad.We should sell some of our older players before they get injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
