Branislav Ivanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Бранислав Ивановић, pronounced [brǎnislaʋ iʋǎːnoʋitɕ]; born 22 February 1984) is a Serbian footballer and the captain of the Serbia national football team who plays for Chelsea in the Premier League. He is a versatile defender who can operate as a right full back or as a right sided centre back.

​

So what do you think aboout him?
He is great in air and he can jump really god. In this season he has scored 5 goals in EPL and played (33 games) really well.
Except he is my countryman, and his parents live 10 houses from mine I think that he is doing great job in Chelsea.
Last night he has decided Europa League match and brought Chelsea win in last minute of game.

 

[DonAK]

Good player.

 

[Catorce]

Meh

 

[abual3bed1]

Decent in air, awful on the ball.

 

[DonAK]

Nothing for Barca, but he's been good for Chelsea.

 

[kingleo]

old school defender who could play in any era! he has got pace and power and very very good in the air!

 

[antonnn]

Yeah 8 goals in a season from a defender, decent in the air eh? Classic.

Solid defender.

 

[AnfieldEd]

Yeah solid defender. From 08-11 was the best right back in the league.

 

[Sultan]

Ivanovic could come to the Camp with Luiz. A decent defender.

what are your thoughts people?

 

[Jadentheman]

Both are mediocre to Barcaforum standards. However it seems like a decent deal if we can get the price down. We will fill the two CB quota and with Ter Stegen (or Courtois) be done with transfers

 

[Semi-Neutral]

Ivanovic I would take if he was any good with the ball and didn't have the close control of a rhino; he's a likeable guy and a monster in the air but I cannot see him playing tiki-taka. David Luiz may be settled in Chelsea and Brazil now, but I feel if he were to move here he would revert to his inconsistent, mistake-prone state and he would just be an even worse, if funnier Pique.

 

[EdmondDantes]

Who else loves this lad? One of the most underrated players in Europe for many years now.

 

[Egert]

Have to say that I am not big fan of him, but he is a good player and I respect him. Scores goals and a good defender.

 

[Hawk]

likeable? no, one who likes to "plant" you with one but very solid as whats been echoed

 

[EdmondDantes]

He's evolved so much this season attacking wise, his technique is top-notch now. He's built like a brick-house, fast, reliable and tactically astute. And to think if he was played at centre back he would be Chelsea's best CB. Serbia have a great generation of players. He's probably my favourite of them all.
