I'm with Ricardo on this one. Leaving aside the fact he's in my fantasy football team - Last season, 3rd best central defender in the Premiership behind Terry and Carragher. He's pacy, can pass well, got a good head on him and tackles like a demon. He's better than William Gallas.

Not that I'm saying Gallas is a bad defender, far from it. I'd love it if his rumoured transfer to 'Pool had actually happened. But he's not as good as Carvalho, not by a long shot.

So, me and Carvalho are united in our confusion at the tactics of Jose.If it was just to give Gallas some playing time so he'd stop crying like a big Gallic baby all the time, I'd understand. But (1) He'd have told Carvalho and (2) Jose doesn't pander to player's whiney little protests, good man.

So, I ask you, why has he been dropped? I want clean sheet points. Carvalho, my friend, I must transfer you from my team. But I love Portugal, I have been there many times. You shall be straight back once Jose stops taking the crazy Francophile pills.

In the mean time...make your cases for my team, messers Del Horno/Carragher/Ashley Cole

Yeah, I couldn't figure that one out. I thought at first it might have been because Carvalho asked to be rested or something, but that's obviously not the case.

Gallas might just have been rewarded with a starting place in his favourite position given his commitment last season when playing in his despised full back role. After all, it was the 'easy' opening game against Wigan.

Or they're showing Gallas off to potential buyers but given Jose's dream of having two quality players for each position then I doubt that's the case. Either way, Mourinho isn't going to be too happy with Carvalho giving interviews like this in the papers - he thinks such acts upsets the group spirit.

And isn't it "Messrs"?

It is Messrs, for Mr plural. But I have used 'messers', an Anglo-Saxon corruption of the term 'muckers', or friends/mates.

Yep I was just as shocked as you...after Mourinho tried so hard to get him to come from Porto to Chelsea it doesn't make sense why he'd drop him after 1 season. I'm still thinking that he wants to make Gallas happy enough for him to sign a new contract but as you said Stryke, if that was the case he would of told Carvalho. Interesting stuff...but bring my Carvalho back!

Ha. Carvalho has sucked for a long time.

Mourinho isn't a great manager for being a blind fool.

He's better than any of our defenders. And it was his first season in the premiership which is very different from the superliga. I was pretty sure he would have improved greatly this season after having 1 season to get used to the premiership.

I think Mourinho made the right decision.

I think Mourinho is a very good manager.

I think Gallas is currently less fallable than Carvalho.


As for our defence. None conceded on sunday and a win aint too shabby against Newcastle.
