AVB will come back to haunt us much more than Jose ever did! He is young unrelenting and he made the oldies of Chelsea play some really good football early in the season. He like Carlo should have been given more time in AVB's case at least two full seasons. Moreover I hope someone tells Roman that it's not the managers that are at fault but it's the vision that your club management works with that is at fault, we have a big bunch of oldies getting fat cheques and no many young players in first team, I don't think that is Carlo or AVB's fault may be Roman should get fed up of Chelsea and sell it to someone else. Winning at the cost of spoiling names and sacking managers is not wining. Also covering up your management and players failure by sacking good coaches is just pissing us fans off.

Agreeing to something is taken as an act of being immature? Anyway peace.

What are we? Teenagers? His talent is never in doubt, but his antics are so bad that he will get himself or his team mates carded every other time. Case being this seasons match against Levante.

It was the same under Carlo too, a deep lying play maker is what we require.

It's not worse than Cech - Alex - Mikel - Terry - Mikel - Alex until Frank gets bored as hell and comes back to get the ball. :P

Firstly Pipita is a matter of Pride for Madridistas, so don't see him leaving anywhere, he is their next Raul and with rumours of Jose departing never gonna happen. Secondly put Pipita, Pato, Etto, Kun as our CF, they would still find it difficult to score. The reason being neither can we cross neither cane we feed the ball. So don't see him leaving a perfectly loving and Trophy challenging(which is etched on stone) environment Real Madrid to come at SB where the MF is absconding.

Word.

To be fair to Carlo, he did give Sturridge and McEacharan chances. Much more than AVB is doing right now; but Carlo found out that there is a huge void in between the level of Reserve Squad and First Team(Our reserve squad or bench strength is nowhere). Now would you risk playing Bertrand playing against Valencia and losing his confidence early in his career? Probably no. Under AVB we are loaning out academy players a bit more which I hope would help more in the transition and it's result will be seen is some time not over night. As for Malouda and Bosingwa, it's not his choice to play them; rather it's the lack of vision of CFC management which forces AVB to play them. AVB could have bought players, he didn't, why? Chelsea all of a sudden wants to but players at fair price and Jan window every half decent player will be overpriced. Looking back CFC mgmt has just blamed manager for themselves being incompetent, throw in Scott, Stoch, Borini, Tore, Sala and Bruma. We pretty much would have a competitive squad. Now AVB is not dropping sh*t players, every player is playing sh*t(not a single player is playing the game for which we remember him and are sore to the memories they've etched in our minds) as of now including the likes of JT, FL, DD, FM if he drops every player who is not playing well the first team would include three or five players at the max. Add to that the volatile mix of Roman who will just fire you and wants a CL spot + half decent season even with the abysmal pool of players we have. AVB can do a lot of things, but sitting in the hot seat with the players we have a fourth spot surely make me happy. The future is being carved and it will take more than a few transfer windows, knowing how meticulous AVB is in his buying (Mata and Romeu.) The present looks sombre, but there is just a hint of hope that makes future a bit more intriguing. Sometimes it's not all managers fault especially when the club mgmt. is busy finding reasons to fire managers not work on clubs future.

Had Jose been there we wouldn't have been in position where we were 3 - 0 up against utd.

Why do I feel(and I hate to say this) that Sturridge is taking the role of Drogba very well, selfish and whining all the time.

I am perplexed as to why not Ashley is dropped or given rest and Ryan Bertrand played often. Ashley is aging needs rest and most importantly Bertrand is more stable in his play and needs gametime.

You have to give him some playing time, he is not that good. but why buy a player with hefty wages when you have Bruma who is half decent. 80K is too much for Cahill.

Cahill deal sounds the end of Bruma who at 20 is a regular of Dutch team playing regularly and if not better than as good as Cahill and Luiz.

Media antics to get a better contract.
