FERREIRA: "Let's see if I can finish playing here"

Loyal servant Paulo Ferreira has spoken of the fact he remains happy at Chelsea and would be willing to finish his career at our club before returning to his native Portugal.

He said:

"I have been seven years here at Chelsea and it is the club where I have spent most time. My family are happy here, so let's see if I can finish playing here as well."

I have in my mind to open an academy back home in my village, I want to be involved in helping kids play football and to teach them what I have learned."

I have to say once more on here, I love Paulo Ferreira. I can never understand what happened under Jose Mourinho that saw him as an important part of the back to back title winning side, replaced and taken out of the side. Chelsea then suffered as we tried the likes of Michael Essien, Lassana Diarra and Geremi in his position instead.

I would have understood if Paulo had left the club ever since then as he has been linked with moves away, but he has remained committed to Chelsea even if he doesn't play as much as he wants and whenever he is selected to play he always give his all.

For me, he will remain an important part of Chelsea's history and part of the side that won our first title for 50 years and then back to back the year after!
