Liquidator

Di Maria Hazard Cavani Ayew We won't let Roman build a new stadium so that he can get some sort of return on his investment but want him to casually open his chequebook and part with £150m

Ciao! Welcome to the forums

Title challengers? My arse! They will bottle it in April like they always do

Nathan Redmond Jordi Alba

They are a bloody disgrace. How is AVB meant to do his job properly if he has players like Lampard, Terry, Cole, Drogba (They are the most likely culprits in my opinion) whining constantly? I imagine they did this under Ancelotti and Scolari too. It is very very disrespectful and as far as I am concerned the sooner the backbone of this team buggers off to Real Madrid to be with the 'Special one' the better. AVB will then be able to bring in players with a bit of class and respect.

anyone think we should make a move for Nathan Redmond from Birmingham City? He is 17 years old and every time I have watched him he has been very impressive. He has a very mature playing style for his age and is quick and skilful. Would not break the bank either.

Scolari had a squad of hungry players in their prime

Its been bumped up to 8 loyalty points

We must not underestimate Birmingham. They have been one of the best sides in the Championship in the last few weeks and look like they could be returning to the Premier League. Their squad is not hugely changed from last season and that squad beat us. They have some talented players most notably Nathan Redmond. This will by no means be an easy game.

So when is this naming rights deal that Gourlay supposedly struck in 2011 to be announced in 'early 2012' going to be revealed?

I hear a certain Premier League manager is now available :eyebrows:

having Mourinho back is the last thing we need. If ever this bunch of their players needed their egos inflating even more while they are still playing crap then smug Jose can do it. I can picture it now, Drogba, Terry, Lampard etc. delighted to see their 'special one' back and start licking his arse more than ever, a 2 month honeymoon period where we win a few games and go top of the league and then the legs start to go in the old bunch again and we are back at square 1. All that would happen if we brought back Mourinho is that we would continue to play with a squad getting even more stale and McEachran, De Bruyne, Piazon, Chalobah, Bertrand etc. are all left out at the expense of the players who Jose has a good relationship with.

The way most of them are playing, yes we honestly should. Why should the manager be held accountable for our every failure? He can only do so much to help the team and they are the ones who need to go out and get the result. Sometimes the players play without any passion whatsoever and it is not fair that the manager gets the blame for that

The owner? Abramovich is the owner and why would we sack him? What do you want AVB to do with group of players who dont care and should have been broken up 2 years ago. For him it is like trying to build a bridge with sand. He has nothing to work with.

AVB out?

will Eva really want to rub the thighs of players in the Europa League next season? :unsure:

send them all to fucking Siberia without any clothes for a week

yeah lets sign him and sap him of all his creativity like we are doing with Mata. Lets ruin Hazard's career too!

Sorry to hear that Hope your dad gets well soon

Team v Birmingham Cech Ivanovic Cahill Luiz Bertrand Essien Romeu Lampard Piazon Lukaku Mata Those players actually care what the score is

Villas Boas is 34. We went after him because of his potential. He will learn by making mistakes so that in a few years he will be a world class manager. He is a manager for in a few years

who can save us now?

he is young and he is learning. We brought him in as somebody who will learn at the club and eventually become a world class manager not as somebody who will be as good as or better than Mourinho and Ancelotti

(Sarcasm) Agreed. lets keep all of the players who have all looked like they want to play for him and wear the blue shirt with pride. They have all given 100%. Its not their fault if they pass straight to Darren Bent so he can make it 3-1 to Aston Villa, it isn't their fault if they miss open goals at Old Trafford or if they handle the ball in the last minute against Valencia and give away a penalty. Nor is it their fault if they can't defend a corner so we concede a late goal against Bayer Leverkusen or if they miss several easy chances against Wigan.
