oh please be true,but wait ancellotti might not let him go,you know he likes the more mature players.

Didn't Ballack say something similar weeks ago? He said something about playing in the World Cup and then he didn't know about his playing future and might retire. (If I rememeber right) That would be nice to have Ballack and Deco go. They are solid players but not what we need right now. They are the decline.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wait.....I mean YES!

I get those two mixed up sometimes.

Oh I wish Ballack did us all a favor and quit or go back to Germany or something. Because until he's in the squad, every manager is going to pick him. :)

Good news :)

But we'll probably by some other old f**ker to replace him. We can't have the average age of the squad dropping below 32

Good news for you Deco haters out there.

Woo hoo! Thanks for nothing Deco!

Fair play to him, seems like a move that would hopefully benefit everyone involved - he's a great player and I like him a lot, but he hasn't added quite as much to the team as I thought he would when he first joined. If he wants to move back to Brazil and closer to his kids then good for him.

i can see Bluebeard celebrating now, this will make his day.

on the contrary, I'm totally gutted, beside myself with grief Oh, let this be true

I've always liked Deco, but he's done virtually nothing for this team. It's time to go.

I wish him the best of luck back in Brazil.

until i read that article, i had actually forgotten that he was born a Brazilian.

I would like to see him wind down in Portugal by going back to Porto or something. If only for the paltry transfer fee we might recoup

"Deco has told Chelsea he wants to leave the club at the end of the season. "I want to go back to Brazil," the midfielder told the Sun today. "I still have a couple of good years of high-level football in me but I want to be near my kids."

I wish he'd used the couple of good years with us.

Has been a total waste of time and money for Chelsea. You could pay a couple of decent footballers wanting to wear the shirt, for his wages.

Really hope it happens.

Just cracked open a Grolsch to raise a glass and help him on his way........

However will we cope with both Deco and Ballack gone? :D

He showed moments of briliance, make no mistake. But if he wants to go, and it means freeing up space for a younger player, and reducing the age of the squad, then I'm glad he want to leave while we can still get money for him, and not in a year when he could leave for free after spending a year on the bench

Never realised there were this many people against Deco.

Not complaining though, other than the opening 4 games of each season he hasnt been up to it.

Not terrible news is it...

He has had next to no impact at all during his time with us... he is past his best and even though I knew he was not going to be running around like a youthful terrier I was hopeful that he would have been far more creative than he was, but as Arq said earlier nothing against the bloke but time to move on and try and get someone with more youth and potential in the side..

"Deco has told Chelsea he wants to leave the club at the end of the season. "I want to go back to Brazil," the midfielder told the Sun today.

Is this the Brazil Deco yearns for??

Is this the Brazil Deco yearns for??

They'd make a fine couple, Alan Brazil could get Deco's eyebrows transplanted onto his napper!

What Deco actually said:

"Deco has told Chelsea he wants to leave the club at the end of the season. "I want to go back to Brazil," the midfielder told the Sun today. "I've seen how Veron can earn a tidy living in South America despite being totally unable to meet the standard needed to do well at Chelsea."

The Guardian are normally a crock of sh*t. Anyone who goes on their site must be as dumb as thinking football manager is real life. Get it out your cooper man.

Maybe Carlo will offer him a raise to keep him :P Well, that would kill my spirit, hopefully it won't happen.
