Excellent CB, one of the underrated player. He carried Terry since he joined and he was the main person for Chelsea's best defensive record during Jose time. Excellent positional sense and reading of the game. Madrid youngsters can learn a lot from him.
Carvalho and Terry formed a great partnership. Not sure how he carried Terry?
Carvalho consistently covered for Terry's mistakes - when Carvalho isn't there, for a strange reason Terry performs badly. There's probably a link
Don't understand this by Ancelotti. Really don't as they just don't have a ball-playing centreback who'll cover for Terry's weaknesses. Money's good for a 32 year old. Wage bill reduced again. But just an odd one really for me unless Chelsea feel he's now declining and going to pick up more injuries.
Or maybe they have someone lined up as a ready made replacement?..
Is that the lad Kalas you're talking about? They've already sent him out on loan to some team called Sigma Olomouc so I think they're definitely going to buy someone.Yeah - there's an 18 year old kid they've got who's meant to be quite decent. But that would a big punt wouldn't it? Couple more years of sharing the duty with Carvalho would normally the way forward with that? Will be interesting if they go out and sign someone though.

I also don't think Chelsea need a replacement.
Terry and Alex performed very well together last season, and since Bosingwa is back, that means Ivanovic can play in the CB role he is far more fond of, as well as Bruma being toted as a star in the making.
Sure, you could add a CB, but I doubt they'll play ahead of Terry & Alex or Terry & Ivanovic anyway.
