And then to see him not being preferred to Mikael Silvestre at times this season, was just bewildering. So as of this moment, the only defenders we can count on actually being at the club in August, are Vermaelen and Djourou. Gallas is days away from leaving, Sol wants to wait and see if he gets an offer from a decent team that are willing to play him every week can't blame him there and Silvestre is hopeless. So why did we just get rid of a player who, not only could provide decent competition for places at the club, but cares about playing for us so much, he cried his eyes out after that said game in Anfield in '08?

Senderos has played in 57 games for Switzerland and has scored five goals. He was pivotal in Switzerland qualifying to the FIFA World Cup, scoring the first goal in the first leg of the qualification playoff against Turkey. The playoff ended in aggregate, but Switzerland made it to the World Cup due to the away goals rule. Senderos joined the legendary Italian Serie A club A. Milan on loan in and played in 14 games for the Rossoneri. Senderos returned to his home country in to join Grasshoppers before signing with Rangers F.
Free to play. Easy to Play. Campbell returned for the second leg of the semi-final, then put in a goalscoring appearance in the final. Ronaldinho, a different player to Senderos, lifted the Champions League trophy as the young Swiss, an unused sub, watched his side suffer the cruelest of defeats. A mass exodus followed. William Gallas, esteemed No. Senderos failed to press on. Although he played 14 more seasons, retiring in December , he would only twice play 20 league games in a campaign — on both occasions for Fulham, between and Backtracking a little on these implied declarations of his greatness, the Swiss was obviously the junior centre-back during that watertight Champions League run.
Given the array of attacking talent that failed to get past Senderos in —06, it seems like something or someone else might have been the bigger problem.
