if villas-boas wants them then they will stay

AVB is a great coach, but he is not a magician. Kalou and Malouda are average under any manager.

Well, so did Ballack, Deco So no worries.. they are still part of the squad.. maybe the management is trying to make them feel like home before selling em?

Interesting in the article it says that he encourages wing play and tells the defenders to come out and pass to the wings.

Interesting that he didnt try to play Torres and Drogba together... what do u guys think? Drogba is the new super sub? Or Torres is? Atleast for the start of the season??

Malouda was not average 2nd season 2nd half under carlo

anyways i was saying that if villas-boas feels the need for them to stay then i wont complain

I also have no problem with malouda and kalou staying. Its AVB's call. But IMO if we can sign modric do we really need to buy anyone else? or selling one or two wouldn't be bad either.

We just have to sign man.. the squad looks helpless atm.

Nice video.

Yeah its a cool vid hehe...

Josh will start in Lampards role tomorrow, AVB saidcin Joshs first press confrenece

i think I am falling in love with Andre, so far he has done everything right!

'I spoke to Josh at the beginning and asked him where he felt best on the pitch,' added Villas-Boas.

'The deeper number 6 position is a very important position. I know that Josh touches the ball more in that position and likes to play from that position, but he is also a player who likes to face the play more often and he has the vision to see people in attacking positions with quite some ease.

'It is good to test him as a number 8 position further forward and I think he has the tactical and technical awareness to play in that position. He can fulfil both positions and I am sure he can play the number 10 position as well. But the flexibility that Josh offers is very, very important in any squad and for any coach.

'Josh tomorrow will be involved again in the number 8 role, organising the game from that position.'
-----------------------------------------------------------

guys someone please fill me in these number 6, 8, 10 positions....

10 is in the hole IMO. Pastore sneijder type.
8 is attacking box to box, Lampard type.
6 must be the defencive playmaker, like Pirlo but I would hardly call that 6, I always thought of 6 as a CB.

I think I have a massive man crush on AVB.

Btw can someone create separate Sturridge & McEachran discussion threads?

pirlo a defensive player?he was just a deep lying playmaker,the guy is as good at defending as a traffic cone lol.

He is just 18 eh.. let him grow some more flesh... u'll see how people will fail to go past the traffic cones!

Lol, only reason I said defencive is because I was too lazy to type deep lying.

I'll tell you what I'm never reading that we aint got no history blog again they were sure Pastore was coming....

yah right.

We all make mistakes, just ask goal.com.

Its the most credible source out there tbh.. and even I was sure at one point that Pastore is coming to Chelsea.. come on.. who chooses PSG over Chelsea

Any meeting between Villas-Boas and Gourlay should be done by now. Now lets see who we will buy.

Yes, I expect us to start making transfers now. About time too!

Dont expect lots of drama like the last decade... I think our big spending days are coming to an end.. which I love tbh
