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.’

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."

I 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
