Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[Kostas 1,468]

and If Anelka, Lampard and Alex are Chelsea's players its because AVB decided they were good enough.

Valid and quite similar to one of the our main gripes with Carletto, the difference being that while Ancelotti had 4 transfer periods to make his changes AVB has only had one.

Exactly and Carlo had a whole summer transfer window as well...half of last years was spent Manager hunting

"I wouldn't expect too much to happen in this market," commented Di Matteo.

"We are happy with the quality we have.

"We are very happy with the team, with the players we have."

I give up.

Thats why the argument: "Its the squad fault" doesnt work.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Bluff. Please be a bluff..

[Chels 238]

How can they be happy with the quality of the team, Jesus.

I too hope they are bluffing.

Hahah, that's just sad Henrique.

[francozola 2,040]

Think we should wait til 11.59pm on 31st January lol

[Laylabelle 9,395]

Either their bluffing....completly lost the plot or pretty much been told 'be happy with what you've got cause you aint getting anyone else'..

don't think Roman would do that though. He's bothered spending 15m on AVB I'm guessing he's realized the club desperately needs transition so I'm sure he must be willing to spend some money (not the crazy sums thats being reported but still... something)

I reckon be more willing to spend in summer.January window clubs just to ask for way way way way more then they would in summer.And if we did name targets price would go up and up..then again he was willing to fork out 50m on Torres

true but I think if AVB has identified a target and is serious about bringing him in now then Roman will provide the money to ensure that we can finish in the top 4 at the end of the season

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I think we should give the club the benifit of the doubt and assume that we are keeping our transfer targets a secret so that the media can't affect the deals.

I give up.

If AVB isn't bluffing at all, sack him now, he's clearly not all there.

[Lampy 110]

I think AVB may just be holding out for better players in the summer like Hazard etc that are not available now. Even fergie is said not to be loading up. No point buying middling player like kalou and malouda just for the sake of buying players. If we are not being active because we are holding out for the big guns, then so be it. I would like to see 2 players this period though (which is more or less what he has said he will do).

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Is there any argument that works!! U blame avb then the squad let's you down. Blame squad then avb let's you down! That's it Cole is retiring after next year, give his legs a fucking break!!! We don't want a Malouda 2.0

[termninja 5,290]

As much as I would get pissed if we didn't sign anyone besides Cahill I would be happy if that made us sign the likes of Cavani, Modirc and Hazard in the summer.

Positionaly we will be settled for the rest of the season.

GK: Cech, Ross, Hilario

RB: Ivanovic, PF, Bos

CB: JT, Luiz, Cahill (Ivanovic)

LB: Cole, Bertrand

DM: Oriol, Mikel

CM: Lamps, Rami, Meireles, Essien

LW: Mata, Malouda

ST: Torres, Drogba, Lukaku

RW: Sturridge, Kalou

that's at least 2 players for each position in our 4-3-3 formation.

Then big changes in the summer...
