Official - AVB confirmed as Chelsea boss

[eldo 868]

Do u really think he will come to play under Redknapp?

Does he even know who Arry is?

[EskWeston 696]

Seen a bit of talk today that Guardiola is a very real possibility. Would certainly be suprising if we managed to pull that one off. Could see the logic behind trying to get him considering Barca's brand of football and where Roman would like to see us going...

Harry Redknapp has emerged as favourite ahead of Van Basten and Guus Hiddink to takeover the Stamford Bridge hot seat during the summer. If Harry does sign for Chelsea, he will look to bring in some of his former stars as a shake-up at Chelsea is on the horizon. He will look to stars like Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, Aaron Lennon and Rafael Van Der Vaart, the latter having arrived from Real Madrid last Summer for 8 million pounds and has been a sensation in the Premier League. Both Manchester teams have been linked.

Chelsea's top targets also include Belgian hot-shots Romelu Lukaku and De Bruuyne, with both expected to sign soon, Brazilian superstar Neymar, Atletico Madrid's Sergio "Kun" Aguero and Ajax right-back Gregory Van Der Wiel.

Spurs will face a conundrum as they themselves have to find a new manager and have to hold off bids for their stars from some of the best teams in the world. Despite just being sacked by Chelsea recently, Carlo Ancelotti is already being linked with a move to Spurs, while Martin O'Neill, who hasn't coached since he left Aston Villa last summer, Spaniard Rafael Benitez and most suprisingly, former Chelsea and Manchester United striker Mark Hughes.

While some players will come in at Chelsea, they will also look to offload some fringe players. Bosingwa is wanted by Juventus and Malaga, Yuri Zhirkov is reportedly training with Spartak Moscow, Anelka being linked with the MLS, Malouda is reportedly a target for Villareal and most suprisingly Drogba has been heavily linked to a move to Turkish giants Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.

I stopped reading when it mentioned Aaron Lennon.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Gareth Bale? Aaron Lennon? fuck no. He can as-well just stay with the Spuds..

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Wasnt there rumours yesterday that Redknapp was seen at Cobham and some even claim to have seen him leaving the Bridge? Highly unlikely tbh, anyone heard anymore on this? Is he still odds on?

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

the positives with harry are

1. Attacking football

2. Youth promotion

3. good motivator

4. Knows the league

5. can lure Modric

6. Spuds can end up with Rafa ..lol

1. Incredibly poor defensive football

2. Really? I don't think so...

3. Check the video where a player kicks a ball at him.....Great motivation

4. Doesn't make him a better manager.

5. Based on what? Modric could absolutely despise him for all you know.

6. They can also end up with a half decent manager and finish above us.

Harry is a tosser, not sure why you guys think he's an upgrade over Carlo at all.

[Guest justin_3d]

Guys if Roman hires Harry, i will seriously stop writing here, and stop watching Chelsea games for a while.

I won't stop being Fan, cause you can't stop that. But i will stop watching this club till my anger subsidies.

Fire Carlo to get Harry?

Only a joke of a club will do that!!!

[zolayes 14,489]

listening to Ray Wilkins on Talk Sport confirmed my belief that Ray is not just a gentleman and Chelsea legend but also a most knowledgeable

football man .This is the reason he was such a valued assistant and why the Club made a massive mistake in sacking him. I hope whoever

is appointed is able to have as good an assistant .

That is what I was saying all a long.

Everything went downhill after he left.

Well we still have like 3 months before the season starts again, so will you be angry for 3 months? lol.

Till the end of the year most likely!

Hahah don't worry, when you return we'll be on top of the league

1. Incredibly poor defensive football. - Agree but still our defense is the best .

2. Really? I don't think so... Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Gareth bale

3. Does not mean anything

4. He is not better. But he has been around for some time. Helped Spur to get into top 5. At least he is better than Grant.

5. I don't know . Just a possibility

6. Nah . That will never happen

I am not for Harry. But if hiddink does not come then he is OK for one yr caretaker job. That's all.

[neel 257]

BTW Harry replacing Carlo is ridiculously stupid !!

[Guest justin_3d]

Hahah don't worry, when you return we'll be on top of the league

And most likely i will get piss even more, if that guys comes, and does the same as Carlo. Continues playing the older players and no time for our youth.

The only reason i agree to Carlo sacking was for the youth.

So this would make me even more mad!

[Randall 315]

As much as some of you dislike Redknapp remember the bigger picture is Chelsea Football Club, I support Chelsea whoever the manager is and we've had to make the best out of bad situations plenty of times in the past so let's not all jump on the I hate Redknapp bandwagon and instead focus on supporting the club we are all on this forum because of?

And that is why i want Van Basten, but no one here seems to agree with me. He is the only manager we're linked to now (except Pep) that gives the youth a chance, Hiddink doesn't either.
