CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Because winning the Champions League and FA Cup weren't fun? The guy fucked up at ever possible level. He robbed a year from players like McEachran by keeping them around and then not using them, he insulted the reserves and he left us on the verge of an exit to Napoli after he played Jose Bosingwa at left back. THEN he had the nerve to suggest he was in some way responsible for our CL success. The guy's a cunt. Like I said I don't want to get into it.Get back on topic, please.

TheCount 146 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 AVB if anything was a quality scout, lets give him that, he signs talent wherever he goes, if he could ever manage that talent then he'd be the man.... but he cant.Credit where credits due.

communicate 2,703 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 So are our world class scouts. The role AVB would have played in that transfer was minimal. Thanking that cunt for anything that happened during his time in charge is laughable.I am not really sure why people hate avb, he was hired to bring expansive football to chelsea and it was clearly did not work with our squad last year. Last time I checked, we are out from UCL group stage this season under RDM with far better squad than last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked, we are out from UCL group stage this season under RDM with far better squad than last seasonBecause he was a joke who indulged in petty squabbles with senior playing, coaching and office staff whilst holding back the development of youngsters like Lukaku and McEachran and proceeding to try and take some of the credit for our Champions League win despite us being on the brink of exiting it.Great at tactical analysis but bad at interacting with human beings.

Corner 456 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 You don't know that. We were not linked with Juan before AVB came. Same with Oriol; in fact, AVB wanted Oriol at Porto before he moved here.I'm glad you're amused. I don't want to go into the circumstances that the club was in last season now and certainly not here, but I supported Andre and thought his dismissal was a huge mistake and still do. Wow, I genuinely thought I was the only person on here who supported him the whole way through and still think it was a mistake to sack him to this day.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I wouldn't give AVB the credit for getting Mata, I think it was more to do with Emelano etc. who chose him as an alternative after we were prized out of a Pastore move.

Nando 106 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 We're so lucky. The best player in the league for me and a pleasure to watch. You can bully him physically, but later on he'll find a way to humiliate you. His importance for the team cannot be highlighted enough and after every game I'm convinced of that. sLOVEnian Blue and Rambo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,142 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Mata is so much more effective than Silva. Struggle to see why he is not played more for Spain. Mata scores, assists. Really underrated. He is up there with the best IMO. His beard that he often has often makes me think he is a old man but he is only 24. Many years to go at this club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Torres played a part in getting Mata here.Would it be easier if we pretend we spent £74m on Juan? Mceachran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanBlue 82 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 how can we begin without him like yesterdayEvery player needs a rest. Even a human monster like Mata is in his core just a human. The squad we played last night should've been good enough to beat QPR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
