deco is to be our new number twenty. seen someone askin the other day(sorry cant remember who) so there you go

so paulo is leaving or changing his number then...

I'm not sure if Paulo's all that attached to #20. Anyone know what numbers apart from #9 would be available between 1 and 25? Maybe Paulo wants a smaller squadnumber? Or maybe he is leaving...or Ivanovic is leaving and Paulo will take #2...oh, I don't know...

Deco's no. 19

I've seen a training pic of the boys and Deco's wearing a no.19 shirt in that

every season we have this- training top numbers have nothing to do with playing kit numbers.

i cant see him goin cause i think big fil may like him but you just never know. tho imo paulo aint really good enough for us.i thought he was the first season but since then im unimpressed. cant see anyone takin bosingwas spot

wouldn't a packed suitcase would be of more use if he was going somewhere?

I think he's old enough to pack his suitcase himself.

but not old enough to buy one?

there are no age restrictions for buying luggage anymore.

The training top numbers don't seem to mean much during the pre-season. Bosingwa has been running around with #16 on his training top, but when he was officially introduced in a press conference today, there was no number on his shirt and in the article on the official site they say "Felipe Scolari was the man to hand the famous blue over to our newest right-back, the squad number yet to be announced". Is he waiting to see if some number becomes available before the start of the proper season, or what's the deal here? Surely he would've had time to pick a number by now.

that made me laugh XD

Remember Ballack came in and took Gallas's 13, and not long after he went to the arse

The difference here being Gallas was, and still is, a whiny git.

And Gallas came late for the pre-season training and what not...Paulo has kept quiet apart from praising Bosingwa and Scolari.

The online megastore has Ferreira as no. 19.

Mystery solved.

New signing Deco will retain the squad number 20 he has worn in previous seasons after Paulo Ferreira agrees to a swap.

Deco sported the number on his back at both Barcelona and for the Portuguese national team and his friend and compatriot, Ferreira, will change his Chelsea number to 19 following the summer signing.

'I was very happy to swap numbers with Deco,' Ferreira says.

'He has an academy back home that uses the number 20 throughout its work, as he's worn that number for a few years.

'I know how much the academy means to him and therefore how important it is for him to wear the number 20, so when he asked me if he could wear it I said of course, no problem.'

Is there a nicer man in football than Paulo?

I can't remember anyone saying they hate Paulo, which for a Chelsea player nowadays, is an achievement in itself.

:D good on ya Paulo!

Drogba take not, this is how to act as a good team member!

I would love Paulo to lose his rag.

Just once?!

Very good of Paulo :)
