Paulo Ferreira - what a servant

[Guest justin_3d]

There was rumours about him going to West Ham in the summer of 2008 but it never materialized.

No-one actually realises the importance of the likes of Ferreira, Kalou, Mikel and even Hilario, good players happy to be squad players and rarely look out of place when they come on, ok the middle 2 can be frustrating at times but they would be certainly good enough to get 1st team football week in week out elsewhere but they still stay and fight for a place.

Squad players are just as important as regular 1st teamer's if not more so, look what happened when we trimmed our squad last summer without replacing them. Would you rather have players like Brad Jones, Fabianski, Eboue, Denlison, Bentner, Spearing, Konchesky and N Gog as our back up?

While were on that subject i wonder why with Deco gone he aint took number 20 back

Agreed. 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.

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.

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.

He, Kalou and Ramires did.

He, Kalou and Ramires did.

Yeah let's not give him credit,maybe he didn't even play who knows.

Giving him credit is one thing. 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.

I do remember who was Right back at the game so that is the most important thing.Ramires did cover but it doesn't take any credit of Paulo.But perhaps you don't remember him when he came to Chelsea when he way unplayable,i suggest you watch those games again.

It may not, but that was not a case of a player keeping someone in his pocket.

Mind pointing me to a post of mine that made you think that?

To quote Mourinho

“a player who will never be man of the match but will always score 7/10 for his individual display.”

Basically,our answer to Dennis Irwin.

Very loyal indeed, especially as there aren't many remaining members of the class of 2004-05.

Full respects paulo. usually if it was like some little kiddy footballer coughbalotellicough he would be sucking agents dicks and taking bitch fits and disturbing the flow of the team

paulo is a good person enough to know that well theres others ahead of him and that the spotlight isnt his and he acts like a true professional.sadly cash and stupid sponsor deals with a few other things are making his breed non existant

i respec and like t him enough to not sell him on fifa nuf said

once stated by jose - "He is a player who will have a rating of 7/10 in every game but will never be the man of the match"
