    Chelsea has acquired Ben Haim, and reportedly Alex' move from PSV is almost completed. The two are solid back-ups for Terry and Carvalho, and I am afraid Boulah would have gone deeper in the pecking order in the centre back position.

    Boulah can't compete for RB position, either, because pace is not his strength-- not to mention poor crossing and dreadful positioning. For now Maurinho has to settle with Ferreira and Johnson, but don't be surprised if a calibre right back will arrive at the Bridge (Dani Alves and Miguel have been highly tipped to join).

    I am a big fan of the Cannibal since his days at the RKC, and I have nothing but good thing to say about this transfer. Boulah will for sure get regular playing times, and have a chance to resurrect his career at Sevilla. Besides, his playing style suits better with the Spanish football. The best part ... he will get a fair amount of opportunities to shut down Ronaldinho again. LOL.

    No, Alex is. Boulahrouz didn't have a very good campaign and he couldn't get settled so we had to let him go, now we have Alex and Ben Haim to replace him, but Alex is much better than Boulahrouz. Also I haven't forgiven Boulahrouz for costing us the title with his stupid red card.

    Well i am a true blue fan, ut i have to confess that it was coming. competition from jt, carvalho and ben haim forced out his central options. at right back there is ferreira, diarra, and even essien (tel ben haim can fit) so there was no place for him. same situation happened with asier del horno. i will miss him though, good bye khalid! best of luck!
