VILLAS-BOAS INTEREST CONFIRMED Posted on: Tue 21 Jun 2011Chelsea Football Club released the following statement on Tuesday evening: 'We note that the release clause of Andre Villas-Boas has been activated. We can at this time confirm our interest in him and hope to reach agreement with him on personal terms and make a further announcement in the near future.'
He needs to be playing really well in the Russian League to be a Chelsea level player. Seeing how Zhirkov turned out, that's probably not a guarantee either. And if you read the article, he sounds like a whiner too. No thanks.
He scored 2 against Ajax, and scored 8 in 20 European matches, so he's not bad. Seriously, if we continue to wait for the "proven" talents, we'll only be spending 50M on guys like Torres
The more I watch this kid play, the more I think he's perfect for Barca. Great ball control, amazing touch, very good passing, lots of play-acting and whining....
With the form Torres was on, he wouldn't have scored much playing next to Xavi and Iniesta either. One would think a 50M player should be able to make his own plays.
Both Neymar and Sturridge are brilliant passers. I think in Neymar's case, he has all the qualities in the world to become a fantastic winger. Whether that's his best position is a different and more important question though. But he does play like a wing forward for Santos and he always looks great.
Something like ---------------Torres-------------- Neymar--Sanchez--Sturridge -------Essien----Ramires----- Cole------JT----Luiz------VDW ---------------Cech---------------- Malouda----------Drogba-------Kalou------ -------------Lamps---Benayoun-------------- ----------------------Mikel----------------------- PVA--------Alex--------Ivanovic----Ferreira --------------------Cech-------------------------- would be interesting
I think Neymar's perfect for Malouda's position. In every game I watched of him , he looked very comfortable drifting in from the left. His position's closer to a winger than a striker IMO
