Porto's Alvaro Pereira on Facebook: "Andre Villas-Boas is going to Chelsea. Abramovich has taken our coach from the [Estadio] do Dragao. We have to thank the coach for all the work and the trophies conquered with us this season. We have lost our coach but we will remain strong. WE ARE PORTO!"

Whos Alvaro Pereira ?

[YuriZhirkov 106]

Whos Alvaro Pereira ?

A Porto-defender.

[dodojojo 510]

He's so ginger. Would he agree to a dye job?

[chrismada9 1,948]

Seems as though some of the players have conceded that Andre Boas is heading to Chelsea!

Hiddink for Director of Football it looks like now!

[MetsajCFC 1,255]

Perfect for us IF he can handle the dressing room and gets FULL backing of the club

[ChelseaFanMKD 41]

Whos Alvaro Pereira ?

Porto left defender.

Anyway my opinion on this is that the deal is done, just wondering if AVB will bring someone from Porto with him

EDIT :

André Villas-Boas se fué al Chelsea. Abramovich quitó nuestro entrenador del Dragão. Hay que agradecer al "Mister" todo el trabajo y trofeos conquistados con nosotros esta temporada. Perdimos nuestro entrenador pero continuaremos muy fuertes. SOMOS PORTO !!!

He will bring Hulk and say no to Lukaku.

Anyway what a briiliant move, fucking brilliant. Hiddink is probably a bit old and i have a feeling Roman FINALLY wants a long term manager. It's either pay €15m to get him out of Porto or give him €15m euro's pay off getting sacked after a year.

I had a feeling that we were targeting someone else because Gourlay was saying a few days ago that talks were going very well and we'll get a new manager soon, even within a week. Now.... The Hiddink stuff was going all over the show with the Turks so it certainly wasn't with Guus because those talks hadn't even happened. He was still deciding whether to stay at Turkey or not.

Villas-Boas is young (Fuck me he's the same age as Lampard !) and he's gonna have fresh ideas and will learn and learn. This has to be a long term idea. Fucking excited so much. I'm sure he has some players to bring with him too i'd love Falcao but with Torres and Drogba i can't see it. Hulk... really a chance, he plays as a winger right? Boy we need one (or 2) of those.

Feels like when Jose came. I don't wanna compare because it's unfair maybe but he has so many similarities with the main man. This is such a good move for our club.

If you guys did not know , Andre Villa Boas was the one who prepared and compiled Jose Mourinho's Match reports back then at Chelsea and Inter. Here's one of his reports when he was Jose's assistant in 2005. The game was Chelsea vs Newcastle at Stamford Bridge - Nov. 19th 2005 !

AVB: "I see myself much more in the image of Bobby Robson than Mourinho. Like him I've got English heritage, a big nose & I like red wine."

We're gonna end up loving this guy. I already like him and i barely know him yet.

[Hysteria 159]

Hope its true. I love Villa Boas (but i know...its a risk, young mananger).

I fully agree mate. There is something about him. He is one of those very rare people who get into your head and you like them from the very first moment you see them.
