Official: Carvalho moves to Real Madrid

[DavidEU 2,023]

TOCFCWS:

Chelsea Football Club can confirm it has agreed terms with Real Madrid for the transfer of Ricardo Carvalho.

The transfer is subject to a medical and the player agreeing personal terms.

Chelsea would like to thank Riccy for his six years of service, and we wish him well in his future career.

In total he played 203+7 times for Chelsea, scoring 11 times, and during his time at Stamford Bridge helped us to three Premier League titles, two FA Cups and two Carling Cups.

Thankyou for six brilliant years Riccy. Probably the best centre half the club has ever had. €8m apparently.

Good luck Percy.

Oh no

[chrismada9 1,948]

Horrible news! I really wanted us to keep him. But in all fairness, you can't keep a player who has ambitions elsewhere.

get a bid for David Luiz prepared!

[Kostas 1,468]

A big thank you is in order.Best of luck to him.Shall be remembered for years to come.

Forget Ballack, Cole or anyone else who has moved on this summer. One man deserves the title Chelsea Legend: Carvalho

Such a bad news.

If we buy nobody, we can hope that Bosingwa come back to the top and Bruma gonna straight out to the top.

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! God hope Carlo knows what he's doing.signs someone

Best of luck to him though!! Key player etc and be missed

What a fantastic player! He is certainly a BIG Chelsea legend! John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho. Not too long ago, seeing those two names side-by-side was the most fearful sight for any team facing them. Ricardo was a big factor in our first ever Premier League title.

We owe this man a massive Thank You for a great service to the club! I'm glad he's finishing his career under Jose at such a prestigious club.

Good luck Ricardo Carvalho

Goodbye Carvalho and good luck

the best exponent of the sly shirt pull Ive ever seen ....we will miss you ricky ....seeing him bomb forward sometimes made me think what a midfielder he would have made..fond memories ..ricky

John terry ?

Close 1/2. Was based on pure footballing ability. JT has so many other qualities that make him a legend, but maybe just maybe, Ricardo was a better player.

[Manuf 1,448]

Can somebody move his profile into "Legends"? If it still exists.

Best CB in the prem in the last decade, amazing defender, best of luck to him in la liga.

[Shane 2,275]

Goodbye Riccy, and thank you!

[Luke 60]

Excellent defender, sad to see him go, 8m is a good price though.

€8 m is not a good deal for one of the best defenders in the business. €!

[zolayes 14,489]

best ever for me was Marcel ,, Carv comes second .... in the last 10 years we have had some wonderful cbs ,,, of course JT but also Alex and

Lebouef now Ivo and hopefully Bruma

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Just a TINY glimmer of what this great man was all about

In 10years, when people speak of Chelsea legends.. John Terry, Frank Lampard, Marcel Desailly, Dennis Wise you bet your grandchildren Ricardo Carvalho will be up there with them.
