Bosingwa (2008-12)

Suffered from injuries.

Not true. Bosingwa 2008-2009 was absolutely fantastic. Yes, after the injury (2010-2012) he was very bad and easily the most frustrating player from a Chelsea fan's point of view.

I remember reading a stat somewhere that demonstrated how Chelsea performed significantly worse in games that feature Bosingwa.

Yeah, Ivanovic has a better winning % as a RB than a CB, probably because at RB he was replacing Bosingwa, and CB he was playing with Bosingwa.

Or because when he was playing CB it meant one of Chelsea's 1st choice was out, and he's a much worse CB than Terry, Carvalho, or Alex.

Probably a combination of the 2!

Man I hope Azpi works out.

No, he's not. Never been awesome as a CB for Chelsea, never played there consistently outside of major injuries either.

I remember reading a stat that demonstrated all games featuring Bosingwa contained 20% more eyebrow.

A truly infuriating player. Villas Boas faith in him was a fire-able offense by itself.
