spuz 143 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 No Chelsea can could ever hate Paulo. Definition of "loyal", he's just happy to be at the club, contributing in any way he can. We love you Paulo!I dunno. I don't like seeing loyal and footballer in the same sentence.It's not like Barca or Real came in and offered to double his wages. Even JT and Lamps got a massive pay rise by staying 'loyal'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even JT and Lamps got a massive pay rise by staying 'loyal'.I know what you mean & I was hesitant too. But let's be fair, he could easily have asked for a transfer & made a claim for him to "wish to finish" his career elsewhere. The fact he wants to do it with us, shows his underlying love for the club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I don't think he has ever complained about anything since he joined! He's never threatened to leave, nor has he ever complained about getting games.that's the meaning of a true legend!! Always liked Paulo!

steve5221 91 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I think the club has served him better than he's served the club. He's not done too bad out of us.Totally agree. Yes nice bloke, always gives a big effort and loyalty but £60k a week for our 3rd choice right back - come on guys...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,959 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Another indication that he is a great character - remember when Deco arrived? Paulo offered him his number 20, explaining it that for Deco this number means more and he is happy to do this favour. He really does deserve a hell of a lot of credit.

Would you rather have players like Brad Jones, Fabianski, Eboue, Denlison, Bentner, Spearing, Konchesky and N Gog as our back up?Another indication that he is a great character - remember when Deco arrived? Paulo offered him his number 20, explaining it that for Deco this number means more and he is happy to do this favour. He really does deserve a hell of a lot of credit.While were on that subject i wonder why with Deco gone he aint took number 20 back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is why I always said it's great to have squad players. I love player like Ferreira and Kalou as they make our club more human. Gentleness, and humbleness is a good thing, in a club full of big egos. Paulo a great servant of the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 It's always nice to have a quiet, softspoken guy around in the madness that is Chelsea.He's still a better player than a lot of people give him credit for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Blue 469 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 In his prime he was stopping World Class players from scoring against us.He kept Bale in his pocket when we played against Spurs.Fantastic man and fantastic player stay with us until you retire Paulo you deserve even more but it is a shame ''we'' can't give you more.

Overstating things is different.If you don't remember how Bale was double or even triple-marked during that game I suggest you watch it again.
