Good point on Ivanovic.

I think Ivanovic's decline toward the end of his Chelses career is still fresh in peoples minds that we sometimes forget how good he was from 2009 to mid 2015.

I agree. His pace puts him above Carvalho for me.

Agree on Both.

Loved Gallas. He was such a good all round defender and so quick. Scored some important goals too - most notably that wonder strike against Spurs.

And Ivan - it is too easy to forget how important he was for us. So strong and again, scorer of many important goals. We do miss the goals contribution from defence these days.

Maybe I'm wrong but always felt Bridge and Malouda were underrated by fans.

In the case of Malouda he replaced Arjen Robben but was a different kind of player (less explosive ) so that contributed to him being under valued. He had a great season when we won the double i remember

I remember being delighted when we signed Mark Hughes.

Has his contribution to us been under rated ?

Not by me I hasten to add, just wondering...
