AVB arrival could mean reprieve for Bosingwa. System needs overlapping full backs. David Luiz 1st choice at centre back. #CFC http://twitter.com/#!/garbosj

His squad reports took four days to compile? Blimey. That's detailed (or just slow)!

Yes. Hopefully by tomorrow. No.

Yeah, he looks quite animated on the sidelines - we haven't had someone like that since Jose. A journalist tweeted (@honigstein) today that at the final whistle in the first Barca Champions League game, AVB threw his chewing gum at Henk ten Cate - a future Chelsea assistant - at the final whistle!

Brilliant! Well done.

Genius!

Press conferences are normally about midday. 10pm would be ludicrous for everyone involved. A statement possibly, but not a press conference. That would probably come around lunchtime tomorrow if something was officially confirmed tonight (I'm talking hypothetically, of course).

Recap: Porto have released Andre Villas Boas from his contract & he's in talks with Chelsea. Expected to be named CFC boss tonight/tomorrow. http://twitter.com/#.../BluesChronicle

Finally!

Definitely a new start. I'm excited, but it's early days.

Dan Roan outside the Bridge on BBC News Channel now. Could be confirmed tonight!

Or Birmingham!

Rumours are useless without sources to back them up.

LDN, source?

Torres on the left?!

Yep, Porto fans not very happy on his Facebook page. They're starting anti-Chelsea groups and calling him a traitor." " Anyway, a BBC update - he's on the verge of signing. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13858858.stm

I'd presume so, yes.

I guess that's confirmed then!

I think this'll take a couple more days to be confirmed. A Friday announcement, maybe?
