Term-X 7,891 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 AVB on Barca & The Holy Grail....‘Barcelona are the reference,’ said Villas-Boas, another unashamed admirer of Pep Guardiola’s work at the Nou Camp. ‘They are the reference for everyone in terms of quality, football and the amount of titles.‘They can beat any team in the world but so can Chelsea. If I didn’t believe that, I would quit the game. I am not going into the game with a losing mentality. I know their game like everyone does. We all want to sit down and watch them play.‘You just have to believe in what you do and the players you have. We have to believe. That’s what happened with Porto and Monaco (in 2004).‘Porto put out Manchester United in the last 16. Monaco put out Chelsea and Real Madrid. We can challenge.‘We have been present in the Champions League throughout, in semi-finals and finals. We want to have the breakthrough this year.’http://www.dailymail...-Barcelona.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Term-X 7,891 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 AVB wants early closure of transfer window"It should really close on the day that the season starts," he said. "I'm going to propose it. It will be my first time when the elite club coaches meet but I'll propose it. It may look pretty stupid at first but maybe it makes sense because it would give tranquillity to the managers to address their team building. That's fair."The proposal would be to close the transfer window when the season starts in that country. At least one other manager is on my side because I spoke about this at Porto last year with my technical staff and I know Porto's current manager [Villas-Boas's former No2 Vítor Pereira] is of the same opinion as me. Porto are a targeted club for the biggest talent and live in an uncomfortable situation as well."http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/aug/26/andre-villas-boas-transfer-window-changesI can see his point about it being a distraction. Although this would mean La Liga & Serie A clubs would have more time, giving them a distinct advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 AVB wants early closure of transfer windowhttp://www.guardian....-window-changesI can see his point about it being a distraction. Although this would mean La Liga & Serie A clubs would have more time, giving them a distinct advantage.Yeah there's quite a few pro's & con's to this.And if the proposed idea is for all markets to close that day, he'll face serious competition from the Serie A & La Liga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 He wants early closure to the transfer window yet left signings till last minute. Isn't that contradictory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 The current manager of Porto(AVB's assistant last season) said the exact same thing yesterday in the press conference before the Super Copa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I think it's sensible. Transfer market should open properly on June 1st, close August 1st. Two months to negotiate, simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styles 9,790 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 If this is true, then Of course it's true. Any sane man can tell you we're not winning anything with the current squad. This is a transition period, as long as we don't drop put of the top 4 and bring through younger players AVB is doing his job as far as I'm concerned.

Madmax 9,219 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I hope AvB is watching Arsenal-Manure. Arsenal leaving a lot of space behind their defence and Utd's pace and movement is exploiting it to the hilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal leaving a lot of space behind their defence and Utd's pace and movement is exploiting it to the hilt.Arsenal were shambles. Absolutely Bad!!....They look like a reserves team compared to last season. No Nasri, No Fabregas, no Clichy, no good Central Defenders. At some point it would be no Van Persie cus he has to fill some quota of his time on the treatment table every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
