    still think we'd stuff him even if he was there could be all bull anyway!

      Alex out for PSV

      Just read on the beeb that Alex has torn his hamstring and could be out for the rest of the season.

      It looks to me that fortune is smiling on us again.
      Oh I don't know.

          How Alex has never played for Brazil I don't know. He is a top quality defender the thing Brazil lacks most

            I'm pretty sure he played in the friendly against Portugal recently?

              2 seasons ago we had key players out all over the place, we had to use kids in some of our games and yet we still won the champions league.
              i wouldnt be too happy too soon.

                from wiki:

                Alex has not been able to play for Chelsea due to his lack of caps for the Brazilian national team. A work permit for England states that he must play in 75% of his country's international games. Until this is resolved, Alex's stay at PSV seems likely. PSV Eindhoven are currently looking for an option to sign the defender from Chelsea.

                he's had 7 caps so far. so i think he needs a few more before he can come to england.

                  Doesn't he also qualify for a Euro Passport soon as well? I was sure I read that recently.

                    patience can do.
                    To be fair the people saying that were ****ing loons though

                    Paletta has got a lot of qualities that suit him to our league, I want to see him play for us a few more times before I make a judgement either way on him.

                      While I agree that he is nowhere near Carra as a CB, he does have time on his side and I'm sure with Rafa's coaching he'll become a really good player. Rafa must have seen something there if he signed him and they do breed some top defenders in Argentina.


                      Actually if I'm not mistaken when Carra started playing at CB for us, there weren't too many hot on the idea and look how that turned out. So give the kid a break for jayzus sake!!

                      Just cos he had one bad game against the arse in the Carling Cup doesn't make him a bad player FFS!!!
                      Exactly, Carra was hardly a world beater at the same age and look at him now.
                      Whats happened to Paletta he's not been in the squad for ages, he used to appear on the bench now and then. There was talk of him going out on loan in Jan?

                        Depends how long he's been at PSV he could be eligable for Dutch papers.

                          Six weeks out, still misses our matches though:



                          AMSTERDAM, March 12 (Reuters) - PSV Eindhoven defender Alex has torn a hamstring and is out for six weeks, missing their Champions League quarter-final tie against Liverpool, the Dutch club said on Monday.

                          Alex, who scored at both ends in PSV's 1-1 draw at Arsenal last week that sent them through to the last eight, sustained his injury seconds before halftime in the Dutch league match at Excelsior Rotterdam on Sunday.

                          The Brazilian international will miss both legs of the quarter-final tie against Liverpool in the first and second weeks of April.

                          PSV are top of Dutch league on 67 points with six matches remaining and host third-place Ajax Amsterdam on Sunday.

                            Johnny Woodgate would be a great buy, and im right in thinking Rafa rates him highly. They're will be a flood of teams after him in the summer
