No way will we let Bosingwa go. Ferreira is our weak link at the moment. As soon as Bos is back we will sublime.

Ferreira's been quite solid in recent games actually. But Bosingwa will have to prove he's the same player when he comes back (emphasis on WHEN).

I disagree, he has been good attacking, but wingers run rings round him.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Yes I agree. I really like Paulo as a player and as a person but the defensive side of his game really isn't as strong as it once was. He's been made to look a bit foolish at times this season, and I remember him getting done by Varney a couple of times today - if he played against Gareth Bale or Nani he'd be crucified time and time again. That's why I'm looking forward for Bosingwa's return - he's a little more refined and his pace and reading of the game make him a better all-round full-back in my view.

I don't mind Ferreira being here, usually gives a competent shift and gets forward well. Obviously I'd never want him to play against Bale again, but otherwise I'm quite happy with him here.

Ivanovic & Kakuta's contracts need to be sorted out asap, would like to see Bosingwa getting a run of games before he gets one too.

Ivanovic close to new deal

skysports.com

Branislav Ivanovic's agent claims the Chelsea star is close to signing a contract extension at Stamford Bridge.

The Serbia international defender is tied to the Blues until the summer of 2011 and had been linked with a move to Juventus.

However, not only has Ivanovic's agent Vlado Borozan played down talk his client could join the Old Lady, but he says the stopper is close to committing his future to the Premier League champions.

Ivanovic has played a key role for Carlo Ancelotti's side so far this term, with previous first-choice Jose Bosingwa on the sidelines.

"There is no truth regarding contact between Ivanovic and Juve," he told Tuttomercatoweb.com. "Those rumours are without foundation.

"I believe the link may have been made due to the fact that my partner (Dejan) Joksmovic is (Milan) Krasic's agent and that Ivanovic's contract will expire in June 2011.

"But the lad is about to sign a contract extension with Chelsea so I really don't think he will be moving away."

brilliant piece of news!

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Good stuff, now let's get Kakuta's done

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Hope it's a long term deal (ie. 4 year plus).

[Kostas 1,468]

Great news,now those Juve rumors actually make "sense".

[Wilson 358]

Lol I posted transfer news about Juve wanting him but it was from Goal.com so it was deleted lol!

[chrismada9 1,948]

I knew about Bosingwa and Kakuta out of contract, I wasn't aware Brano was as well!!

IMO, Bos is a player we should keep, but there are reasons for selling him, first and foremost, he's prone to injuries, and because he's had to recover from this long-term injury, it could be difficult for him to recoup some of the form that he used to have. He has 2 months to sort it, which it's not much time in all honesty.

As for Brano and Kakuta, I think these are two players we really should get new contracts for.. no excuses.

[Blueboy 14]

Kakuta should get a contract sooner rather then later, it should be done before the january transfer window whatsoever!

[EskWeston 696]

First mention of Kakuta's contract in todays press conference, and on the whole not particulary positve ones. Doesn't look like the negotiations are progressing well at all. Would be a disaster to lose Kakuta, doubly so if we lose him on a free.

Tell me about it. Carlo looked annoyed as soon as it was brought up. I hope this is resolved sooner rather then later...

[Kostas 1,468]

Sounds worrying,I'd like to see a video of that before screaming murder.
