Has Falcao all but signed? Think the gun has been jumped a bit there! Dont reckon him and Nando can play in a front 3 together as they occupy the same role

I cant believe the amount of anti Torres comments on here! Shame

we are not writing off a 50 million signing after 6 months, dont be stupid

Think he just means there will not be a complete overhaul, maybe 3 or 4 max

No-one else find it strange that we were in talks with him last week apparently and now all has gone quiet? Maybe its not a player AVB wants

FORMER CHELSEA ASSISTANT MANAGER RAY WILKINS"We've had lots of older coaches come in at Stamford Bridge and they've not done as well, so we have to give this young man the credit for what he has done up to now. "Let's give the young man a chance, he's obviously done exceptionally well. His man-management skills, from what I can read from the players he has worked with, are first class. "That will be required at Stamford Bridge because these are big players, big guys, and it will be very interesting to see how he goes on." FORMER CHELSEA BOSS JOHN HOLLINS"He could be fearless. I think it could be a breath of fresh air, bringing in a fresh approach to what is maybe a tired football team. "This guy is as young as some of the players are so he will be on the same wavelength with them, but is it going to be a three or four-year programme as opposed to having to win something in his first year? That is the one thing we don't know yet, but he has won three competitions in Portugal just like that, so he could be a whizz-kid. "It's a gamble but I think it's a calculated gamble. I still don't know if Guus Hiddink [former Chelsea boss] will be coming as an adviser to the young man. If he does, that will only strengthen the position." FORMER CHELSEA WINGER PAT NEVIN"There is always a risk with every managerial appointment, but he is highly regarded as one of the up-and-coming young European coaches and has been successful in domestic and European competition. "He is flavour of the moment and Chelsea have seen something in him." Longevity is the key factor! Give AVB time

Interesting! Is he any good?

Think thats bad, did anyone have the misfortune of listening to that CUNT adrian durham on talkshite? An absolute negative, chelsea hating tool of the highest order, made my physically angry listening to him today about how all we wanted was another Jose and had paid too much for someone with no CL experience blah blah. Complete wanker

maybe a few years ago

Fuck off, Messi couldnt lace DL's boots

I didnt say you did!

I like Mata too but dont know if we are looking at him and as for Hulks buy out clause ........91 MILLION QUID! Whats that about

If he is not loaned out before that

Adam Johnson and Kun Aguero altho i do have my doubts about Aguero at times

This is bullshit of the highest order! I f barca get Sanchez thats the bulk of their budget gone already, then they are gonna have to sell to fund the cesc deal so there is no way they have the money to pay us for DL....not that we would sell

No but highly likely When he signs No

Why would they sit on that gem for 3 days? Is the whole idea of the printed press not to get their exclusives out before their competitors? I doubt it mate!

Im not sticking up for neymar, couldnt honestly give a fuck about him, but Maradona is without a shadow of a doubt a cheat

Well we will know in a minute if there is any truth in the 22:00 rumor

Coming from a cheating bastard like him i dont think he will worry too much

There is no way we are doing a press conference at 22:00, thats a ridiculous time. We may announce something but the likely hood of an actual conference is low. If something is said tonight id imagine a press call for tomorrow some time EDIT- should say that sounds like im stating a fact, im not, just an educated guess

who needs pints

Real and Porto a cert at some point in the CL now

I agree, big big gamble but if he is given time he could create something special. He is as anal in his methodology as Jose but with a will for attacking,flair play. Still think there will need to be a fairly sizable overhaul of the squad and allow AVB to bring in who he wants but thats not what Gourlay is saying.
