bushman 2,043 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 He's a formidable part of the team yes, much like mata is to us. But to put all the success on bale isn't fair on the rest of the team and avb who all have had a decent season all round.If spurs don't make CL this year then I can see bale making a move for Spain.I have never said all success is BALE only. Certainly over 60 % is his. Just like Mata at Chelsea. Of course, Spurs are playing well, this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 They will be in The CL they have a gr8 manager. We were wrong to get rid of him so easily. Didn't handle Villas Boas at all well and the thing is Villas Boas makes good signings.Excuse me but don´t you remember AVB at Chelsea ? He created players revolt, then. Not even a month later most of the players did not respect him. Anelka was shown the door, not allowed to attend Christmas party...etc.Chelsea were right to fire him.

The Chelsea job probably came too soon in his career though.As for his signings, I don't think he's any better or worse than the average manager.

Anelka was shown the door, not allowed to attend Christmas party...etc.Chelsea were right to fire him.that's why i said we should have handled the case better. If he was a little bit more experienced he could have easily become a Pep Guardiola for Chelsea. He was extremely hard working as Lamps said. Used to be the first early in the morning to arrive to work and left late at night.So we should have stuck with him up to the second leg against Napoli?The guy made too many mistakes and burnt too many bridges here, but he seems to have learnt from that which is what you'd expect from any young manager. The Chelsea job probably came too soon in his career though.As for his signings, I don't think he's any better or worse than the average manager. i agree with u m8 the job was a bit too early that's why I said we should have handled it better. From Porto to Chelsea is a huge step for a guy with no playing experience. From Porto, To Spurs to Chelsea would have been ideal. He is a tactical genius.I found this story about him ages ago! It's gr8!http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4044360/Chelsea-news-Its-official-Andre-Villas-Boas-is-kind-caring-and-compassionate.html (yea I know it's the Sun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Maybe we should have bought AVB and loaned him out too. The Skipper, Rmpr and Hamilton 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have been assistant coach and then later like in Barca we could have promoted him to Manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 AVB is no Pep & never will be. He worked hard, I read. His arrogant approach was his demise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 It is also seems the case that the arrogant approch of some players seem to be managers demise and that defintly needs to stop.But agree with coming early.Was a big step and taking one back in a way has worked well for him TrippingStep 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 @ Lamps vs Scholes vs Gerrard1.Lampard prime > Gerrard prime > Scholes prime In 2005 Lamps and Gerrard both were in there prime. Lamps was 2nd in world player of the year, gerrard 3rd, beaten by a distance. Scholes has never won an individual award of any significance2.Lampard overall > Scholes overall > Gerrard overall (see below) reflected by performances, stats and statistics respectively. https://twitter.com/...1651584/photo/1 They are not quite up to date (from end janaury or so)and only premier league but, updating and including more competitions only influences these stats even more in Lamps's favour, cos Gerrard has only assembled a massive 3 goals since then whilst Scholes has recorded a bombastic 0 goals and 0 assists. Lamps has scored at least 5 goals. If u include all competitions Lamps has 266 goals which is about as much as Scholes and gerrard have combined overall. Also Lamps's 0,3 goals per game ratio beats them both comfortably with 0,2 and 0,23 respectively. Interesting is also that Lamps has more goals in the league alone than either Scholes or Gerrard have overall( which are more matches). Also for England Lamps has a far better scoring record than both. Lamps has outscored Gerrard in 13 of the 17 seasons they have played in parallel, including the including the last 4 running, even though being older, outassisted Gerrard in every season they have played in parallel i have checked so far, outassisted and outscored Paul Scholes in every season since 2004. Scholes's prime 2000-2005 is not even close to Lamps's 2005-2010 in terms of goals and assists and most importantly titles. Yes titles. When Scholes had the biggest imapct on his team during his career before becoming a bench player in these years he won 2 leagues, 1 fa cup, Lamps won 3 leagues, 4 fa cups and 2 league cups when he had the biggest impact on the team. Now i have dug really deep to find some individual awards Scholes actually has won. He has been in the team of the decade 1992-2001. , Lamps has been player of the decade 2000-2009. Lamps has also won 39 individual awards to Scholes 7. Lamps also won 4 times player of the month, 3 times pfa team of the year to scholes's 2, Lamps has won silver award in european and world player of the year, world xi and countless other awards scholes can only dream of. That is why all in all Lamps beats scholes and gerrard in terms of all relevant statistics and individual awards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
