Slam Dunk

Exactly, he was the opposition scout, he doesn't need coaching badges for that. He was rushed into the job as assistant coach. Saying he ''does not have a clue in footballing matters'' is frankly ridiculous.

Just a rehash of a story from an unreliable portuguese news site. Nothing has happened yet.

How would you know that?

Frankly, his release clause still seems very low for a striker that scored 17 goals in a European competition. €30M is a bargain imo. ...That being said i'm, still not convinced we need him.

No chance Torres will be sold, think about it. Where would he possibly move to?

Cech/Turnbull/Hilario VDW/Ivan - Terry/Ivan - Luiz/Alex - Cole/PVA Mikel/Essien Ramires/Essien - Pastore/Lampard Hulk/Sturridge - Torres/Drogba - Neymar/Kalou

He was back training with Anderlecht today. I'm sure we were waiting until the manager situation was resolved until this develops further (if it does at all).

We should sell...We could really use the £6.2M profit right now.

Martin Lipton

I take it we will be appointing an assistant manager for him then? Or would it be one of his own backroom staff? His previous assistant at Porto has taken the job full time, correct?

Not unless they had AVB standing behind the guy making faces ala Luiz...

^ Felt quite sorry for Chardy there, his first ever ground stroke on Centre Court....Airshot

He won't be paying it himself lol.

I'd imagine he would. Played very well on the right for the U21s.

Graeme Bailey (SSN) - Reports in Portugal claim there will be a meeting tomoz between the directors #CFC and Porto will seal the deal for Andre Villas-Boas.

He's a professional. Of course he will.

Let's hope so.

Yes we were. It's pretty obvious that the decision was down to Sanchez himself, and he has chosen Barcelona.

Or send him to Vitesse

Possibly. Although sending him to a completely different league with a different playing style would make the loan to Fulham redundant. I don't agree with the people that said he did nothing at Fulham, he a had a good impact when he came on a couple of times and it was pretty obvious he is a very talented boy. The problem was, we sent him to a club that already had ample wingers to choose from. Maybe we sent him there to keep him in London, I don't know.

We still need 8 over 21 homegrown players for a 25 man squad though. And as we saw this season, the squad isn't big enough as it is.
