If I understood correctly, two days ago it was "Kalou offered an extention of his contract", today it seems he will be shown the door

Hopefully new contract does not necessarily mean he is staying. For example, Falcao signed a 5-year contract a couple of weeks before leaving Porto.

The thought of AVB getting sacked and these well fed "superstars" meeting for a "gathering" toasting another "victory" makes my blood boil.

Yep..and then this time next year....here we are again divide blahh

Sick of this whole thing its just going in circles,mistakes not learnt from,same mistakes made...and same old stories each time...

#AVB "At #FCPorto I was a coach/supporter. Here at #Chelsea I'm a professional coach" #CFC

#AVB "Coming to #Chelsea was an opportunity. Premier League is the best league in the world, everyone wants to be here." #CFC

#AVB: "There was something telling me to accept it. Even if my family had another opinion." #Chelsea #CFC

#AVB "If everything goes on as expected, we'll have the whole package to win in the future. We're still in two competitions this year" #CFC

#AVB "I've been told by Abramovich that he'll change what I've asked for" #CFC #Chelsea

#AVB "To change these players culture is a task that takes time to complete. And you have to do it while you continue to win" #CFC #Chelsea

#AVB: "There's an unequal battle going on here: to keep the team believing while trying to succeed on the pitch." #CFC #Chelsea

#AVB "I'm completely committed to what I'm building here. I don't see myself coming back to FC Porto in a foreseable future." #CFC #Chelsea

#AVB: "There's no lack of player's support here. The players support me. But this team was built to win four trophies." #CFC #Chelsea

#AVB "We're exactly at the same position we were last year but with a less experienced coach." #Chelsea #CFC

#AVB: "Mourinho chants came from Birmingham supporters and not from Chelsea's. That's non-news, as happened with Drogba's alleged team talk.

#AVB: "We've been through this Torres situation before, with Kezman and Shevchenko." #Chelsea #CFC

#AVB: "Torres' problems may also come from a philosophy change here in #Chelsea." #CFC

#AVB: "Lampard is still on our top 5/6 in terms of usage rate" #Chelsea #CFC

#AVB: "Lampard's been on the bench sometimes because of our strategy. Like in Napoli: we played with two defensive-midfielders and Mata #CFC

#AVB: "We conceded a lot of goals from the left. That's one of the reasons why we brought Mata to the middle." #Chelsea #CFC

#AVB: "On the other hand, we still haven't find a player to replace Mata properly at the left wing." #Chelsea #CFC

#AVB: "As an explosive winger, Hulk would fit well in our team. Hulk and other players we've been looking at." #CFC #Chelsea

#AVB: "There's an exact formula to be successful in PL.And that's what City is doing right now: attacking efficiency above all" #Chelsea CFC

#AVB "Guardiola's message is so powerful. Some of his ideas can win outside Barça and I feel he wants to do it in other team" #CFC #Chelsea

#AVB "City is a very organised, efficient, well-balanced team. All they want right now is to be champions" #Chelsea #CFC

#AVB "Abramovich's work is unbelievable. 3 PL titles, 3 FA Cups, Champions League final... his success is truly overwhelming." #Chelsea #CFC

#AVB: "If I saw City playing in Italy, I would say that's where they actually belong." #Chelsea #CFC

#AVB: "I wouldn't change #Chelsea for Barcelona right now." #CFC

#AVB: "My resumé was what separated me from Mourinho, Guardiola and Ferguson [in the battle for world's best coach award]" #Chelsea #CFC

"We've been through this Torres situation before, with Kezman and Shevchenko."

^ Publicly Taking shots at Torres, he's speaking like a fan would, not sure if that's a good thing..

[bababoom 4,478]

It seems a bit strange AVB talking so openly, maybe he doesn't do it here because of the media.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

"I've been told by Abramovich that he'll change what I've asked for"

Wonder what that's in reference to..

[Badboy 1,526]

Wonder what that's in reference to..

THE FUCKING WHOLE SQUAD WAYYYYYYYYYY HAHAHA The only ones who deserve to stay because of performances are Ivo, Danny, Ramires and Mata the rest are not certain. Not even the likes of A.cole and Terry !

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

His interviews are very confusing.

Actually here it is:

AVB making transfer plans

"We are now in the exact same moment as last year," the under-fire Villas-Boas told Portugal's TSF radio. "It is an exact copy.

"I think I have felt the confidence from Abramovich but ... the pattern of behaviour of the owner has led to a downfall (of coaches) in similar situations or even 'better' situations.

"What will be the reaction? It will be one of the two, a continuation of the project and full support or just the cultural pattern that has happened before. We don't know."

For me it's great that he has come and say this, but I fear it might be a bit too late. He did not solve this problem in the summer nor in the winter. And if Roman sacks him then he will only have himself to blame for not acting faster.

If he survives Roman sacking then summer will be very interesting time for all Chelsea supporters!

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Villas-Boas unsure of Chelsea owner's backing

LONDON (Reuters) - Andre Villas-Boas is unsure if he has the backing of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and wonders if he will be sacked in the same way as predecessor Carlo Ancelotti was last May, the Portuguese coach said on Monday.

http://football.uk.reuters.com/leagues/premiership/news/2012/02/27/187A4EA8-616E-11E1-B6CC-1EF37F33923B.php?rpc=401&

Well well, the guy who said he had the unconditional support from Roman is now unsure!

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Personally, I am fucking sick of AVB rattling on about his "project". I think the senior players have spat the dummy about the lack of respect offered to them. If he has decided to bin some of them then keep it mum and do the business during the close season. Look at the departure of Dennis Wise and Kerry Dixon for example. Drogba hasn't been interested this season and should have been moved on last summer, along with Malouda, Kalou and Boswinga.

I think the likes of Lampard can easily play on for a few years yet, He has always been super fit and he could very easily do a Giggs or Scholes. He is a massively underrated player who I think deserves better.

AVB needs to basically shut the fuck up and concentrate on the "current" team affairs, and not what may happen in the summer.

I pointed this before, that AVB only came and said about his next year project when he screw up.

He is practically begging for more time from Roman.

Cause in the summer he was all dandy and happy that this club was good and could challenge for 4 trophies.....

[Chelsea? 892]

Yes guys i know its goal.com but there are quotes, i mean FANTASTIC QUOTES!!!

http://www.goal.com/...ive-player-like

"We have [salomon] Kalou and [Florent] Malouda, both of whom are nearing the end of their contracts, while Juan Mata and Daniel Sturridge are the future," he told TSF.

"As such, there will surely be a place to fill and I see room for an explosive player on the wing, someone who is strong in one-on-one situations and Hulk fits that profile."

I hope Di Maria and Hazard fit it too

[Chelsea? 892]

really hope this means 4231: "On the other hand, we still haven't find a player to replace Mata properly at the left wing." #Chelsea #CFC

#AVB: "As an explosive winger, Hulk would fit well in our team. Hulk and other players we've been looking at." #CFC #Chelsea

There's an exact formula to be successful in PL.And that's what City is doing right now: attacking efficiency above all

[Trueblue1982 48]

All this hate on AVB is downright ridiculous. Chelsea fans and the media are complete joke; oh my god we haven't been playing as well as we have done in the past! Big fucking deal.

This Chelsea team need to buck-the-fuck-up; stop moaning and start playing. If we fire AVB and hire Pep or whatever, as soon as they start dropping players and chaning the tactics the players will start moaning and the whole thing will start over again.

Sorry but the "untouchables" need to be let go. We need to start over.

Hit the nail on the head AVB has come out (ok some things he has handled wrong) and done what none of our managers since Jose has done, we all know we need to freshen the squad in all areas, but also need to keep experiance around for the dug out scrappy away 1-0 win that will win us a title at the end of the year, ive posted this comment before, given time i think AVB will be as loved if not more than AVB, i wasnt too sure in the summer if he was the right man for the job, and i think he has handled some things wrong but he seems like the type of guy that actually learns from nis mistakes, top 4 is a must and we will see in the summer with who goes and who comes what kind of season we have, d like to see some of our youth, josh, ryan in the mix and with the right people around they will do a job, i also think Luiz will be our next captain, he is one of the very few this season that shows heart and plays for the badge..

[diskoviolente 425]

on that article on the guardian today:

lazy journos at work. they really need an "AVB blog a day", otherwise they go on cold turkey. the problem with 24/7 news about football is that actually not that much happens. AVB stating the obvious without any hint to some news somewhere, boombast into a "AVB on the brinks" story and almost in talks with other clubs.

i should stop reading the papers, it is just depressing.

[Kezza 1,965]

I dont think Lampard's ego will let him turn into a giggs or scholes.......especially not yet.

God I hope Giggs 900th appearance doesn't put ideas in Lampards head!

Yeah, realy liked those quotes. That means AVB wants two wingers: he admits we are looking to get Hulk, and he says we want

a LW to replace Mata. And Hulk he's an right winger, not left winger...so it means 2 new starting wingers and Mata in the middle.
