lionsden 4,689 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 overhaul?My use of the word overhaul in this context doesn't suggest to change the whole squad but to simply offload all the dead woods- Bosingwa,Ferreira,Kalou,anelka,Malouda,Zhirhov, relegate Lampard and Drogba to squad players and replace all the outgoing players with younger and more superior quality.

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 My use of the word overhaul in this context doesn't suggest to change the whole squad but to simply offload all the dead woods- Bosingwa,Ferreira,Kalou,anelka,Malouda,Zhirhov, relegate Lampard and Drogba to squad players and replace all the outgoing players with better qualitySo you want us to sell 6 players, and relegate 2 players to the bench, despite the fact we had the smallest squad in the league last season?It's not realistic.

Guest justin_3d Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'm sure we will buy before the season commences but my only concern is the quality of players that would be available on the market when we are ready to negotiate deals and how much they would go for. . . . AVB should realise that the market activity wouldn't stand still and wait for him to make his move.I think there is plenty out there.My believe is still that of a RB, Creative Mid, and a Winger.With Essien injured, i am not sure if AVB will trust Mikel, so a deal for Vidal makes a lot of sense for me. Vidal would be far better deal then Scott. Even though i would love to have Scott, but Vidal has better value.Creative mid, there is still the Pastore and Modric to be solve. If that don't work other players can be found.In the past i mention Borja Valero. A great player that has shown great colors for Villareal.Someone like him would work. Don't need to brake the bank.Also have to point out that Yossi can do a good job for one or two more season provided he stays injury free. RB, i explained that many times and will not go over it.Winger, wanted Sanchez, but gone to Barca. Still other options out there available that will not cost much.I say there is still value out there. Just have to look. And it does not has to be from big leagues. If AVB can somehow surprise with a buy from South America it will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If AVB can somehow surprise with a buy from South America it will do.I absolutely agree wiuth you but the question is, does AVB handle transfers differently from Roman and majority of the big clubs that rarely take "perceived gamble" hence constantly overlook the "unknown gems" waiting to explode ala chicharito?p.s Vidal has joined Juventus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justin_3d Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 The question is, does AVB handle transfers differently from Roman and majority of the big clubs that rarely take "perceived gamble" hence constantly overlook the "unknown gems" waiting to explode ala chicharito?From the way AVB has been talking, i think he is.I think Roman will give him full support and let AVB do his way till he starts screwing up....ie not winning anything, playing horrible, things like that. If i am not mistaken Avram said in an interview that Roman gives you everything to do your job. He does not gets in the way unless he has to. And that Roman did not knew much about the game when he fist took over Chelsea as he does now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
