Even if Chelsea are in a period of 'transition' the older players have/can still play a part. Only recently, Lampard for example scored a superb headed winner against Blackburn & has been a solid performer. Yes,their best days are behind them but maybe the crux of the reason behind recent displays is AVB's man management skills?. Maybe he struggles to bond with the current players,to comunicate without patronising,to show senior players of the same age that he knows what he's doing? to adapt to his ideas. Even in the world of sport, personality clashes can be a big factor in team success,(or lack of it).

Sack Boas?,no not yet. However,Chelsea F.C. is at a certain level in world club football,it took years of graft & millions of pounds to get there and expectations are now, understandbly high.It's simply not exceptable for a club who 2 seasons ago won a double to be content with the Europa League,that's just the way it is. I've wondered how well his Europa League winning Porto side would do in the Premier league?,how would the players adapt?,more importantly,how would AVB use them?. My point is,if he's stuggling to impose his beliefs on the squad he's inherited at Chelsea,then doesn't he then have to adapt his beliefs to something that works even if it's for the short term?,isn't that what management is about?. I want him to have the chance to learn how to be a great manager in the harsh world of the Premier League,he could be brillant for CFC,but he needs to be a bit more 'savy' with his squad IMO.........its evolution not revolution thats needed.

I think Berlusconi has enough grief on his plate as it is,if Pato was allowed to leave there'd be riots in Milan.

Last season showed how much we missed a player like Ballack & how far Mickel still has to go.But being caught out for players to choose from last year because we had let them leave isn't a management high point for the board at CFC. Biggest disapointment for me was Joe Cole,if Ballack tried so hard to stay with his offer of a pay cut, why didn't Joe make a similar effort about his demands?.I'm not going to slag off a player who at times was an utter joy to watch,(remeber his goal at Old Trafford ,2009-10 season),but the move to the dippers proved that the grass isn't always greener elseware.

If Sanchez want's to play for Barca but they are to skint to buy him,then that's to bad.Playing for Chelsea should not be a 'second choice' for any player, so join us if he really wants to,or stay away mate.

Well said.:goodpost:

If Boas is to survive at Chelsea he has to win & win quickly.Its been said that he should get time to build a dynasty at Chels but he'll only get that time if he wins trophies,its that simple really. Success = stay. Failure = sack. That's just the way it is now at our club,(not that I think It's right),it's just how modern top flight football clubs are nowdays.

Villas -Boas takes to long to print on a replica shirt,he has to go.

Luiz to Barcelona?,yeah and I've got a 10" c**k (actually 9 1/2"),where the fu*k do these stories come from?.

You may not find any polar bears on Copacabana Beach but you should see lots of beavers :eyebrows:

Yeah I heard that to Randall,the bloke said he has 2 agents to deal with,feck me!, talk about complicated.Shame really because everytime I've seen him play,he looks a good fit for CFC.

As i've only been a member of this site for five minutes, I feel it's not really appropriate to vote on this election.But in the true spirit of Westminster democracy,I'm fully open to any bribes,favours,cash for votes or any other gratuity that comes my way,

I'm not saying this Neymar transfer saga is dragging on a bit,but by the time he arrives,(if at all),he'll be the first player in Premier League history who's entitled to a testimonial before he's kicked a fecking ball!.

£30-40 mill for a young guy unproven in the Premier League!,feck me. Been told he is the'new Robinho',well I f*cking hope not if we are to buy him,that guy proved to be as flakey as an albino jogging in a desert.

I wonder if there's a problem for Studge,(or the other strikers in the squad)its the power that Drogba holds at the club. We all know he's top draw,but even the best have off-days & if he is dropped to allow another player a chance in the side and that guy struggles, then his position as 'irreplacable' is strengthend. The team play to Didiers strengths,that may not suit the styles of the other players,and if that is the case then as we've seen with Nico,they are forced outside on the wings to get a game.Having to change your style & not playing to your strengths must make you look an average player instead of a good one, surely.
