I'm not concerned about our players not "respecting" him. That's a silly issue. Lampard, Cech, Didier et al are professional players, not power hungry premadonnas. If AVB is the right man and his results are good, the players will follow. I have a huge feeling that he's going to bring the absolute best out of Torres. I will bet my right nut that the best is still to be seen from El Niño if AVB gets to job.

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 ?

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.

22 pages have been done here today??!

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.
