    We've beaten Spurs to sign him for the season. Top quality centreback, now we're talking!...

    This along with Dawson for 10million, smacks of panic buying from Hughes and the Board......I think paying 10 million for Dawson is REDICULOUS! and Carvalho was a good player, but at 34, is he still that good? Im not so sure.

    Obviously he's past his best but he's still quality and better than anything we have. If we get Mbia as well we have the basis of a decent squad...

    To be honest, panic buying or not....who cares as long as it works.
    Only time will tell and we will all know by the end of the season.

    It's a loan, so that's a decent bit of business...

    Loan signings other than for a youngster who wants to prove/improve themselves are generally a bad idea.

    Bad for team spirit and while Carvalho may be a quality player but he’s not really going to be bothered if things start going wrong.

    Not sure about that, he seems like a good pro to me.

    Carvalho OMG!!!!!
    Now we are talking. Anyone who thinks this is not good should take up hockey. The guy is pure class and exactly what we need.

    Really good piece of business on loan. Proven player at this level, and hopefully will form a strong partnership with Dawson!

    Smacks of grabbing the first name available!!
    This is going to messup the balance of our squad, couldn't they have hung on for a bit longer and found someone a bit older??
    A 37 year old would have given us a combined age total of 10005 years, a magical number in the Upanishads. We're truly doomed now.

    Remember he was considered the better half of the Terry/Carvalho partnership at Chelsea...
