BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Well, we needed to replace 20-goals-a-season Frank Lampard, didn't we?We've done that. He can easily pass 25 before the end of the season. underdrog and Rmpr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say all you want about his managerial skills, but AVB is a world class scout. Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

We were not linked with Juan before AVB came. Same with Oriol; in fact, AVB wanted Oriol at Porto before he moved here. Thanking that cunt for anything that happened during his time in charge is laughable. 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.

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.I think it's even more laughable for people like you to be clouded by the hatred on AVB and not to give him a bit of credit for some of the good things he contributed when managing us, despite his big failure ultimately.I think it's laughable to say 'Thanks AVB' when anyone with even the slightest knowledge of our club knows how transfers are conducted. We scouted Mata along with a number of other clubs before AVB. If you're going to thank him, thank everyone else who had a role in us signing him.

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.

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.

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.
