Carvalho is staying put, he was interested in moving to Madrid or somewhere else but Mourinho has told him he doesn't want him to go.

I wanted to mean everybody thinks Madrid right now is crap, im i believe that is wrong, maybe this is not the best Real Madrid, but is not that bad.

So you can apply that to any Real Madrid player.

Yeah specially Raul Bravo and Mejia...I´m just messing with you :fool:
I wanted to see Carvalho at Real but with the rumours that Gallas is leaving, i don´t think that Mourinho will let him go. I can´t see him losing two important defenders in one transfer window. Del Horno is quite plausible though.

We are crap man, come one just look at the Madrid that is out there today. I for one am sick and tired of this slow, predictable, and arrogant Madrid. Yes we are second but after today we could not be second and honestly some of our wins have been very lucky. The club is off from top to bottom and this election with the new president might change it.

If RC leaves, we lose the best LB in the world. I for one love watching him play for us. He has an awesome spirit and joy for the game, but I also feel there's a side of him we don't see. The side that has too much power in our locker room. Trading him for young Del Horno would be an awesome deal. Del Horno is still young and hungry. Plus he's proven in La Liga. Besides, I think everyone can agree that we need less Galacticos and more hard working, hungry players. Losing a 33 year old Galactico is not that bad. Well...unless you AC Milan(they're practically a retirement home).

Honestly, it does not look like rumour.

Actually Roberto Carlos is in top 3 LB in the world, imho, Wouldn't be stupid for Chelsea get RC now, and in 2 years to buy a new LB.

As long as Del Horno leaves, that will suit me fine. He has been crap from day one. Clumsy, slow and braindead. I'll be glad to see the back of this guy. Putting Bridge out on loan so Horny could be the left back was one of Jose's biggest mistakes. At least Jose is big enough to admit that he was wrong about Horny. Another pussy who found the EPL too tough.

Carlos looks a bit suited for the EPL, despite being past his best times. Would do Chelsea well for 1 season or maybe a lil more. He just needs to stay back a little more than usual.

Since when is Marca a trusted source of news?


Roberto Carlos is exactly what we do not need. Yes, he has Champion's League winning pedigree and all that crap, but he is bloated and lazy now, and I doubt he would mesh well with a domineering coach like Mourinho. Thus, I dont understand why Jose would want him to come to Chelsea, so forgive my skepticism

And if the financial problems at Juve are so potentially dire, then why does he not hold off and wait to see if Zambrotta, who would be the best of all possible alternatives (none of which, I am intrested in, since we own Wayne Bridge) in my opinion, becomes available? I would much rather have him than Roberto Carlos, especially since were losing Gallas

Real Madrid's Brazilian defender Roberto Carlos has said Chelsea want him - but the Premiership champions are refusing to back his claims.

The 33-year-old told Spanish sports paper Marca: "Nothing's been confirmed but I've been told Chelsea want me.

(by who, his agent?)

"I have told them they have to speak to Real Madrid and that I have a contract at this club."

A Chelsea spokesman said: "Roberto Carlos can say what he likes, but we won't be making any comment on it."

The Brazilian has one year left to run on his contract but his fate at the Bernabeu could hinge on upcoming elections for a new Real president.

Real are due to appoint a new coach to replace caretaker boss Juan Ramón López Caro.

Roberto Carlos could find himself surplus to requirements as the new coach rebuilds Real, whose ageing generation of Galacticos suffered a third successive season without a trophy.

Chelsea refused to comment on speculation that Asier del Horno could move in the opposite direction as part of a possible deal.

The Premiership champions reiterated their stance on Argentine striker Carlos Tevez, whose claims he is on the verge of a move to Stamford Bridge were dismissed by Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon.

Thank fvck for that. Hardly seems a sporting way to treat a future employee

and before you say the same goes for Tevez, all Kenyon did was say he'd be surprised if Tevez was at the Bridge next season. Hardly the same thing, and it smacks more of mindgames in the transfer market

Looking at these quotes, it seems pretty obvious Carlos is trying to get a new deal from Madrid or drive up his value somehow

No No, Let us keep Wayne, he's quality :(
and the possibilty of two chelsea players going the way of Madrid seems ludicrous. Why would Jose sell two players who haven't had that bad seasons (Carvalho's actually been very good) for a player that even if he is still as good as Madridstas are making out, will only realistically be able to keep his place in the team for three years at the most.
If he comes he'll weild far more dressing room power proportionally to his influence on the pitch compared to any other player - and i though big heads was something mourinho wanted to avoid.

Marca is not the main source, is just every spanish TV channel, and usually all TV channels are not wrong.

That does mean this is closed. It means there are many true things on this.

adj137....

When Carvalho had that rush of blood in the game against Man U, when he ran from one end of the pitch to the other in a diagonal line to wait for the ball in Man U's area, waving his arms like a maniac so he would be spotted, and then setting himself up for one of the most memorable goals we have seen this season at Stamford Bridge, I lost any doubts I ever had about this guy. In that one fantastic goal from where he started the move to where he finished it i realised that this fella has been holding back from us a remarkable talent. Maybe his remit was to always stay back. Maybe that day he thought " f.u.ck this for a laugh, I'm gonna show people what i can really do". And he did. For that one display of brilliance on that wonderful day, I would not let Ricci go for anything.

exactly,
why trade a player who's peak is still yet to come and who has been rock solid for much of the season for someone well over the hill who can't really be guaranteed to play for more than a few seasons.;regardless of how good he is, it doesn't make sense.
and with Gallas seemingly on his way to AC, surely Carvalho can't be sold as Chelsea need a partner for Terry in defense?
The whole story seems a bit far fetched - if its true though, that's some crazy logic from Mourinho
