Looks like he's gone ..

Good luck Alex, so glad you didn't end up at QPR...!

Hope you and Carlo do well

Was a good player for us, good luck to him at PSG.

Good luck Alex, wish you all the best! will certainly miss your free kicks.

That goal against Livepool in the Champions League a few years ago will always be remembered fondly......

Oh and the one against the goons.....

Good luck big man!

Good luck at PSG Alex. All the best!

Nothing but good wishes for the fella.

Did a good job for us when needed, and always i had a tingle just before one of his free kicks !

Will miss his free kicks more than anything else, the sense of anticipation as he stepped up to slam one towards the goal was immense!

Top player, good luck to him. Some great defending and spectacular goals in his time here.

Good luck to him at PSG, good player who always gave 100% for us. Weighed in with some great goals as well, Liverpool and Arsenal spring to mind.

Good luck Alex at PSG, sad to see you go

Measuring up level of performance against minutes on the pitch ,id say hes been our best central defender these past 5 years.

Clearly though he doesnt fit in with AVBs plans, as there are only so many slow defenders you can have!

Best of luck to him.

All the best at PSG.

4 million is a nice piece of business for PSG. Ugly shirts, though.

Good for Alex. PSG have money and amibiton.

Wish Chelsea could have squeezed more money from them, but I suppose they didn't have any leverage.

Alex I will miss you!!!

I was hoping you could survived this transfer period and maybe could had a come back....but now we lost you.....

good luck ::clap2::

Was it on the Arsenal free kick that he injured himself and missed a lot of games? Sort of sums up his career at Chelsea, unfortunately.

actually, this is NOT good news at all................yes he had put in a transfer request and yes he (obviously) fell out with AVB but 2 years ago he was top class for 2 seasons...................and everyone in the club loved the bloke

so for me, yes good luck Alex, thanks for your efforts - but you'll be missed

So long sir. You were very much underrated on here, but not at all by me. We'll be worse for letting you go.

Glad to see you and Carlo teaming again. He's not stupid and knew you were a bargain. Good luck.

Where does anyone say it is 'good news'?

He was a great player for us, very underrated in England and sadly, by his national team as well. I feel his best years are behind him unfortunately, not because of declining ability but his injury record is nightmarish.

Probably one of the best pieces of business during the Jose Mourinho era.

All the best Alex & thanks for a lot of stirling performances for us whilst you were here. We've certainly missed your thunderbolts over the last few months. Can only hope you're treated with a bit more dignity at PSG.

All the best big man.

Good deal for Alex. Lot better than QPR. I have a feeling we will face PSG in the CL and will see Alex's freekick from the "wrong" point of view. Hope it doesn't go in that time.

I always liked Alex and thought he played too little.

Good luck Alex!

My kind of "traditional" centre-back. A defender first and foremost.

No wandering off out of position halfway up the pitch. No jumping in for half-arsed interceptions that you're not favourite to win. Tight marking of opposing players at set-pieces rather than standing three yards off marking thin air.

Alright, he didn't have any real pace but IMO his positioning was generally spot on and so he rarely got exposed. Whenever he had a run of games he was consistent. Plus chipped in with valuable goals. So all told a very decent player who could, IMO, still do a job for us.

Really sorry to see him go.

Top bloke. All the best to him

Have to say I'm a little disappointed he didn't come back to Santos. But he obviously feels he has another big European club left in him. He probably will come back Brazil eventually. PSG have som fantastic players and Alex will be playing beside the best young defender in world. The great Mamadou Sakho
