I have read many rumours on Serbian forums that Chelsea are planning on bringing back Slobodan Rajkovic this season? If anyone is unaware of him, he was picked up by Chelsea as a 15 year old more then 5 years ago from OFK Beograd. As he was from a non-EU nation it was difficult for him to get a work permit in the UK so he was loaned out to Dutch clubs. He won the League with PSV in 08, the League with Twente in 09 and recently enjoyed a season with Vittese (Along with former Chelsea player Nemanja Matic). He has also started putting in strong performances with Serbia even when competing for a Centre Back position with Vidic (Manchester Utd), Subotic (Dortmund) and Lukovic (Zenit St Petersburg).

As weve loaned Mancienne out, and Ivanovic is seen as a right back. Is it time that the kid recieved a shot? He could learn alot from John Terry (Same style), become his direct replacement in a few years, and then form a strong partnership with David Luiz for the future. What do you all think?

PS. I didnt think Matic was given a proper shot (He was fantastic in the Dutch League last season), but it was very good business for Chelsea because we got a player of David Luiz's quality in return. Hopefully the Portuguese League and a historically great team like Benefica could be a stepping stone for Matic to mature......and come back to Chelsea in the future!!!

As I said in some other thread a while back, I heard in the coverage of Australia v Serbia (where he played CB), that they said Chelsea had asked him to come back to Stamford Bridge for the start of the season. So, I imagine the club will look at him, and decide his future then.

He may actually have enough caps to qualify for a permit now. Not sure how he'd like being 5th choice centre half after winning the Eredivisie twice in three years.

"He will not only play for, but captain a big club" - Albert Ferrer, the current Vitesse Manager on Rajkovic. I was really excited when we bought him for all that money. Really hope Chelsea, under AVB, give the youngsters a chance to show what they've got before selling them off to smaller clubs for lesser money that what we paid for them!! I used to think Bruma and Rajkovic would be a great CB pairing for the future... Still do.

Would like to see him get a chance to prove himself in the pre-season before we decide wheter we're going to sell him or keep him. It often irritates me how we let youngsters go without giving them a chance first.

He was pretty solid, I wouldn't say he was overly impressive, but he did his job.

He looked like a pretty big lad.
