What about Ferreira?

So with Bosingwa being the number one last season and possibly moving to Bayern Munich, I have to ask you, "What about Paolo Ferreira?". He had his injury last season that kept him out for more or less the whole campaign but apart from that towards the end of Jose's reign, Grant's tenure and the beginning of Scolari's he fell out of favour.

I would like you all to remember that in our 2004/2005 & 2005/2006 Premier League winning season's Ferreira was a mainstay in our defence that consisted of Terry, Carvalho and Bridge. They were solid and Ferreira was as solid as anyone. But, for some reason he fell out of favour and never really established himself as a regular starter after that.

Essien was used in big matches at right back (and did well) but Paolo was overlooked. But, then again there could be something behind the scenes that happened that we will never know.

I am an admirer of Ferreira and still think he can do a job for Chelsea. He is still part of the Portugal National Squad and has often been used as a left-back with Bosingwa on the right. There are reports that Chelsea are interested in Maicon of Inter Milan but I still think that Paolo should be given another chance. Are do you think that he has had his time at Chelsea?

If Bosingwa goes, and with Ancelotti's endorsed reputation by David Beckham for his team being "the fittest in the league" this could be the chance he needs to take with both hands!
