LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yeh but it shouldn't be us if we want to win anythingBut.. We have 1/4 chance of being on the bottom . If there was a breakdown of numbers then it'd be better to interpret that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igi26 346 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I really think the subs he has been making in the past few games are more to protect the game. He is trying to guard the result and try to get the 3 points.I guess AVB has learned some lesson in trying to be to open.....Our team is still not good enough to show of like we used to do in the past.Our opponents are now better and our team is the same (almost).

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Villas-Boas can only plan long term at Chelsea if Roman sees sense at lastEqually, if a Chelsea manager is bold enough to take a gamble on youth, chances are he will be out of a job at the end of the season, and his protégé will be back on the bottom rung. A new man comes in and who does he know best? Some kid who showed promise in a handful of games or an established international and household name who has been a mainstay of success for many years? http://www.dailymail...ees-sense.html?

zolayes 14,489 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 He does make some odd subs...just seem a bit hit and miss at timesif you compare the bench we currently have compared to that Jose had ,,you will see the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

termninja 5,290 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 First thing, you people are really starting to be annoying with signings. We have players like Kalou, Malouda, Drogba, Mikel, Bosingwa and Lampard who are all on the verge of exit. January is not when you make such radical changes and bring adequate signings. Would you rather sign Hazard for 20m in the summer or Willian for 29m now?Second thing, read this carefully:"I think our project next year is more important than the actual project at the moment. Not that Willian doesn't have the characteristics for the future but we are betting a lot on what we can build on for next year." - AVBYou need to be aware that we have Josh on loan who may even become a 1st team regular next season. Where does Sturridge's future lie? Striker or Winger? What about Torres? Keep him, dump him? Kakuta? What if he does well on his loan and there is no place for him?People bitch about Bosingwa staying 'till the end of the season...what would you do, bring a new RB paying more then he is worth and putting Ivanovic on the bench? He wouldn't be happy and he would want to leave in the summer. Play Hutch? Basically until yesterday we throught his career was over and he has made a comeback. This is not a fairytale and do not make him our future RB already. He needs time and chances to show what he can do.There are a lot of major decisions to be made regarding our squad and January is not the time we should be doing it.Let's finish this crazy season, try to grab FA cup, top 4 finish and let the AVB era begin! Mark my words, we will have a summer like most of you people have in Football Manager And besides, this is CHELSEA and AVB! There is still a couple of days to go so don't be surprised if we pull something out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark my words, we will have a summer like most of you people have in Football Manager Chances of us getting Hazard in the summer will be slim , because other teams will be intrested to and if a team like Real comes in he will more likely choose them over us.Our transfer targets will also depend on weather we get a top 4 spot.

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It's no secret that Chelsea's interest in KDB predates the arrival of AVB. The club were interested in Willian before AVB arrived, as well. As far as Bosingwa stands, we'd extend his contract to prevent him leaving for free, i'd imagine. Just the media being fantastical as per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Doubt that this is an Abramovich signing per se, I think it's a suggestion made by Emenalo (chief scout) long before AVB arrived. That's what you get when you don't have stability in management, the future decisions must be made by the board because managers don't have the time to do that. And the Bosingwa thing, PLEASE TELL ME THAT'S NOT TRUE. FuCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDutchy 63 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It's actually also on the official websitehttp://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2590790,00.htmlThe manager also discounted reports that Jose Bosingwa may be sold and confirmed that an option to extend the player's contract for next season will be exercised.
