Great news as far as I am concerned. Carvalho is now three times the defender he was in his first year and will help keep our defence solid for years to come.

Brilliant news, exactly the sort of thing we need to hear right now.

Huge loss he isn't playing tomorrow.

just to confirm it's on official website.

also I think this gives a strong indication that jose is staying whatever happens tomorrow...i think carvalho would go if jose was going anywhere

Fantastic news! Rici has gone from strength to strength with each season, he got my vote for player of the year this season, top man.

Great news.

Hopefully JT and Lamps will sign their new contracts soon, too.

My thought exactly, I'm 98% sure Jose will stay.

Willie who? Gall...agher? Gall...apagus? Gall...afragalisticexpialadosious?

Can't seem to remember. Not while Ricky's on the case!

[just]Oh great, another FIVE years of mindless lunges, lung-bursting runs into nowwhere, and shirt-tugging in the box.[/just]

Have to say I'm inclined to agree with him!

There's no one out there I'd rather have, however.

i have reason to believe calhv visits this forum now and then seeing that most people wanted him booted off, he changed rapidly and performed well...

from zero to hero...

Great news now get Terry sorted and the best Central pairing in the EPL/Europe will go from strength to strength!!!

Of course he should be first to sign a new contract, ahppy with the manager, happy at Chelsea, happy to play 1st team week in week out, and a great palyer. Great news, and as many have said, lets sort Terry's out too. This past season was the weakest defensively, and it cost us. I remember us all criticizing our strikers, adn plarising our defence, but this season is the first time we could feel nervous when discussing our defence, and we finnished 2nd!

Speaks volumes of teh Terry Carvs partnership

Ricky has been great for us this year, best defender by a clear mile.

However...5 year deal for a 29 year old is a bit dumb. Up to 32 sure, but up to 34????
