Get your point but they don't necessarily have to communicate with Levy in any way do they? If they are not responding well to AVB's training methods, style of play etc, it will show on the pitch in their performances. If they do not perform, then bad results will follow and when that happens, Levy will not be afraid to pull the trigger, just like what happened with Juande Ramos 4 years ago.

Unremarkable, average, what's the difference?! Hardly much to it. They're still piss poor players at the end of the day!

Make your point clearer next time!! And it's always the average ones...

Sigurdsson has gone to Spurs and as for N'Doye...well, let's not get there...

Seb Cheers carefree88 and TermX.

You will be surprised. Just because they allegedly don't have big egos like our players do, that doesn't mean they won't rebel against AVB if it happens.

Wait till results go horribly wrong for them and Daniel Levy will then pull the trigger.

Think some may have pointed out but there is absolutely no chance that he will join us, IF he has any respect for Arsenal. It's either City or a club abroad for him.

Veloso has officially joined Dynamo Kiev from Genoa. Wonder what Artinho makes of that.

You left out the crucial part of that tweet! Since it's from Ian McGarry, that tweet above is likely to be BS!

Oh they are furious alright...

Nope. Nothing on that. Might have to wait awhile longer.

Wonder if he will suffer the second season syndrome.

AVB might have been working behind doors in getting him to Spurs before he was appointed as manager.

Stupid media already trying to get on his back! Had he joined any other club than us, Hazard wouldn't be getting reactions like that from the media. Bias pricks!!

He did say that IF he were to mention names, their price will go up and that is true. Can't really expect him to talk about this player, that player and alert other rivals about it.

An AVB signing or a Daniel Levy signing?

Maybe RDM found his old West Brom shopping list sheet...

Yeah...He just said 1-2 things to the media and they blow it out of proportion to get on back AVB's back.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/picturegalleries/9374935/Andre-Villas-Boass-Tottenham-shopping-list-in-pictures.html?frame=2266959 AVB goes to Spurs and suddenly Higuain has been linked with them.

Think what most people fail to realize is that none of the drama and meltdown last season would have happened IF AVB wasn't so stubborn in persisting with his style of play and continue to mismanaged the squad even when the problems are so evidently clear for others to see.

Just one short and simple tweet from Hazard saying he has arrived in London and Oliver Holt had to open his mouth and write pointless stuff on Hazard. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/oliver-holt-column-on-why-andre-villas-boas-1130997

Don't think we're gonna let Ferreira leave, not this summer anyway. He's on last year of his contract and is already 34, even if we were to sell him, at most we can get is 1-2 million. Think the club will keep him and let him see out his contract. Besides, Ferreira can be a useful squad player when neeeded. Regarding the wages, think Ferreira is only like on 50-60k p/w or maybe even less than that! Get your point on letting other players go, thus clearing up wage bil for Maicon but seriously, even if he's still a useful player, 80k p/w is just too much for a 31 year old. We should be offering lower than that to him and use that difference instead oo a younger transfer purchase. Can't take any risk until we're 100% certain that Hutchinson recovers from his injury problems. IF we go with just Ivanovic, Hutchinson and Ferreira, then we'll be screwed IF injuries and suspensions kick in. Our defence last season was almost threadbare with Cahill and Luiz out injured and Terry having to play every 3-4 days with a rib injury.

There is a reason why 'Google' exist you know.

Curious to hear what Graeme Souness makes of AVB's appointment at Tottenham after this last year. http://www.goal.com/...dre-villas-boas AVB's first Premier League match with Tottenham is against Newcastle. Remember him haing that mini feud with Alan Pardew last year? And just like with us last season, AVB's first big game with Tottenham is against Manchester United too and it will be at Old Trafford as well.
