Official - AVB confirmed as Chelsea boss

[radaPT 54]

gotta say something, at least his english accent is better than Mourinho's

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

What i dont understand is why boas wants to wait for the players to come back and then buy new players or sell players?

Its totally clear that he should sell players like anelka malouda.. And that he has to buy a rb a winger and a CAM!

We missed out on thiago already and will miss out on other players if we wait tooo long!

I hope he already knows the players and it is impossible for him to see who he should buy after 1 or 2 weeks of pre season training!

he will know the players strengths and weaknesses already, atleast the regular 1st team players. but i think it`s more a case of talking to them one to one and checking the players mindset for the way forward,to see if they are willing to fight for their places,play in the new system etc.. i don`t believe it will be a case of them having a trial on a pitch in Cobham to see if they are still good enough. he will have plenty of time before the 6th to watch plenty of game footage from last year to evaluate their play.

the names you mentioned may very well leave but he may want to tell them face to face rather than through the media.

all that said..it would not surprise me atall if it`s a smoke screen and we end up buying somebody before the 6th.

Chelsea: top three transfer prospects

We Got some Lookers on our Bench this season.

[strong centreback 157]

I tell you what its been along time I have been this excited for the club, there looks to be a vision in place for once and not just look like something thrown together, AVB fills you with confidence during that press conference, he has a plan he knows what he wants and he is implementing it as we speak, like he said the whole club is being restructured and he looks to be in the driving seat with roman over seeing the restructure.

Its great to finally have a young hungry and eager to prove a point manager again, not since jose signing have I been this happy and optimistic going into a new season I really cannot wait to see what he does with the squad as the backroom is getting an overhaul and in the right areas im sure he will get the player transfers right as well.

COME ON THE CHELS

Haha indeed

This must be Scumpool's year! This year they'll win in Europa leag...oh wait

[Henrique 9,133]

One thing I did not like. He arrived with the old discuss: "more than happy with the current squad. It was the squad that won many things in the past...".

I hope its all politics. If he and the board truly believe that the current squad is good enough to win anything more important than FA Cup and we only need 2 or 3 players...then we and Villas- Boas job are in trouble.

What do u expect? Him to say, oh the squad is rubbish, I'm gonna overhaul the squad and thereby have the players Greet him with a frown on their faces when they come in on 6th?

And yes we only need two to three signings not an overhaul

I did not liked that at all. He did not need to say he is satisfied with the squad, it doesnt mean he is supposed to say the squad is rubbish.

And you are wrong, we need an overhaul, but probably they will only buy 2 or 3 singings because they dont wont to spend more, but we do need more than 2 or 3 singings.

Really? Can you list out the names you want out in the "overhaul"

[NoFear 23]

I do not believe we need an overhaul as well... It would be great if we can get in 3 to 4 new players... But i do not see more than 2 max. if we are going for high end players... But if those 2 are pastore and alexis, I had be more than happy

The number of players agree

[ack17 205]

Last season showed that the current squad cannot compete with Man Utd.

We do need an overhaul like 2004

[Kostas 1,468]

Lets not be ridiculous, our squad underperformed last year and had the players played to their abilities we could easily compete with that terrible ManUnited side.

However now that United have improved we can't afford to lag behind.

[ack17 205]

For me, they have already played their abilities last season. They showed that they are past their prime.

It is ridiculous to rely on these 30+ players again except Terry
