Humerous Loz.
Luckily for us, Billy is in the top few when he's next to JT. You could play Cannavaro next to Ian Pierce and you still wouldn't score.
Look what he did next to Materazzi??
And how dare you speak of Billy ahead of JT!! (I was a bit late clocking that one)

I do actually believe Billy G is the best of the lot (including JT) although we are talking marginal differences here. Cannavaro, JT, Billy, Nesta and Titus Bramble - very little between any of them and it is easy to argue the case for any of them.

Bramble really is a dark horse. Surprised we haven't been linked with him this summer.
Oh, i see, its because the Roberto Carlos rumour has taken this years joke quota.

Mourinho had said he would only make one more signing this summer but the Mirror suggest he will add a second left-back in the shape of ?4million Carlos.
The 33-year-old is the favourite player of Abramovich's son Arkady
Forget about Roman dictating the starting line-up, it's Arkady :!:

What a f**king joke. Now we really are becoming a joke club - laughing stock. He is a has been, and if we?re allowing Roman?s kid to buy the players then who can blame everyone laughing at us? We?d lose the last bit of respect we have.

i wonder how old romans son actually is? as i assume he cant be too old, i find it hard to see why R.Carlos is his favourite player. since R.Carlos has'nt done anything except score that wonder goal for france all those years ago.
on a side note(and back to the original thread) i feel Ashley Cole will be a brilliant signing, i can see why a few fans would prefer the signing's of lahm or zambrotta but in my opinion i like a full back to be able run past players on the flank and whip in a cross from the by-line rather than running half way up the flank only to cutt in to whip in the cross.

I?m surprised people are falling for the cheap sensationalism being perpetrated here by bored journalists and commentators. How old is Arkady? How many ?favourite? players do you think a boy like that would have? My son changes favourite players like he changes his shirt, why should this be the basis to make any judgment? Why would anyone begin to reach spurious conclusions based on nothing?
These stories are aimed at embarrassing Chelsea and to make out as if Abramovich is a fool, but he?s not and Chelsea are not a plaything for a Russian billionaire?s son. Roman has never been the kind that dictates to professionals, even where he provides the money. The key part of why the guy is successful is because he gets the best to do their thing. Abramovich is no Romanov. He has never chosen a Chelsea team and won?t start now. Mourinho is too much of a professional to stand for such farce.
Chelsea supposed pursuit of Roberto Carlos is not based on him supposedly being Abramovich?s son favourite player. It was part of an elaborate smokescreen by Chelsea to send out a message to other top left-backs and their agents that Chelsea need someone for that position. The choice of Carlos is based on (1) he?s crap, so other top left-backs would feel confident to send in their agents, knowing they?re better and (2) he?d be cheap, so that would ward off any agent or club looking to make a kill. Now that Chelsea?s aim has been achieved, with better left-backs in the picture and in the market, the Roberto Carlos story has served its cause and can be discarded. But desperate journalist bent on sensationalism aren?t prepared to let go. Why didn?t they raise the issue of Carlos today with Kenyon or Mourinho, if they really think there?s mileage in it? Have Real Madrid ever stated in any forum that we made inquiries or bid for Carlos?
There are some stories not worth discussing anymore and this Carlos story is one of them. We shouldn?t help them make fun of us by reacting believingly to every crap they say.

I think it's another great example of fans believing everything they read in papers. Come on people,do you actually think that Jose will go after Roberto Carlos because Roman wants him as a present for his 12-year old son?! Are you that naive?
I could understand when mancs or scousers are happy to put us down using any made up rubbish they could get their hands on, but i thought Chelsea fans should know better.
I don't know if RC will end up at Chelsea(i pray he doesn't),but even if it happens, Roman's son will have nothing to do with it.

Even if he did end up purchasing RC for the sole purpose of pleasing his son, it would most certianly not be what he told the press. A man who has reached the status of Roman, making the fortune that Roman has...must have a relative level of intelligence. He would know the people, the press, and even Chelsea fans would heavily criticize his decision making skills.
That being said...a man as smart as Roman would never buy a player simply to appease his son.

Exactly! Roman is a businessman, and though it make his child happy, I am sure Roman would not risk the title and credibility of his team to make his child happy. Er... I hope
Isn't there a solid gold pony or small country he can buy him instead?

Arkady's favourite player is John Terry. Dunno how much he would cost though.
