Wake Me Up Before Carvalho Go-Go

This is the closest image I could get to Ricardo Carvalho...
If the plaintive sounds emitting from the papers are to be believed, Carvalho looks set to jump ship out of Chelsea this summer. Many supporters, including myself, are asking – have we done enough to keep him? After five years of performing consistently well, the Portu-geezer is contemplating calling time on his career at the Bridge in exchange for working under his pal Mourinho.
I for one want to see him stay, but with the emergence of Mancienne and Alex a start in the first XI is far from guaranteed. Alex has come on leaps and bounds, an absolute Brazilian powerhouse instead of the creepy bald bloke hanging out at the back. Not to mention his banging free-kicks.
Having faced much of the season on the bench (probably listening to Drogba’s shit jokes) through injury, Carvalho is apparently unimpressed by the medical treatment he received. He’s obviously never been operated on by a backstreet dentist with a coat hanger and gin as anaesthetic.
It’s difficult to comment on what has been happening behind closed doors, but we face losing a very good defender here.
He has been part a huge part of the success we have had here since the buckeroos came flooding in all those years ago.
Here is a list of his honours (enough to make a grown man blush really):

- Portuguese Liga: 1998-99, 2002-03, 2003-04
- Portuguese Cup: 2002-03

(I craftily nicked these from Wikipedia, no one’s noticed yet.)
If you do go, you will be sorely missed. Oh, and could you take Deco with you?

Ricardo Carvalho won't care if he is missed at chelsea and neither will Deco because chelsea is a team that doesn't know what to do first they want one player then they focus on another player and then another one after that chelsea need to learn how to bring new player's in nobody wants to go there because they know that the english fans suck you can score 100 goals in a season and the english fans will still not apprechiate what they have done for the team.

You support Real, Milan, Brazil, and Portugal? You're more confused than Scooby-doo! 'Full stop.' Learn to use and love the English language, you prick. There's a hundred commas missing there.
