Andre Villas Boas To Spuds: Done Deal

The Franchise wrote:Should leave the PL with their moronic press and ungrateful players who think they know more than 90% of coaches.

But no, they wouldnt challange for the title next season. Not good enough.

I also dont think they have the midfield to play the way he wants, minus Modric. The entire team is far too much intrested in playing in "straight lines".

At least they are young, energetic, fast and quick though.

Agreed.

Not saying they would win the League just be in contention for it rather than finishing 20 points behind the Champions.

Sandro, Modric & Sigurdsson is an AVB esque-midfield mate. It's better than the Fernando, Moutinho & Guarin one he had at Porto anyway.

NEW NEW Bale
Modric Sandro Sigurdsson
Ekotto Vertonghen Kaboul Walker
Friedel?

If that bald headed **** Levy somehow works his magic yet again and signs two top forwards for them that would be a great team in my opinion.

All hypothetical I know but remember the current Spurs team went on something like a 14 game unbeaten streak last year which included 11 wins or something ridiculous like that despite the fact a complete moron was managing them.

PL is complete garbage now anyway. An average United team only lost the League on goal difference and were only a point away from finishing with 90 points. It's nowhere near as strong as it was 3 or 4 years ago.

Provided they can keep their best players in Modric & Bale as well their other top players & he's given a decent amount of money to spend on players in the incoming transfer window they could legitimately challenge for the title next season in my opinion.

Then again they are Spuds ffs. Logic says it should all end in tears.

The Franchise wrote:Because funny enough, his entire career isnt defined by what he did at Chelsea. He did have a success time before that point where he showed fantastic tactical ability.

Chelsea and the PL isnt the be all and end all.

Go ask Porto's opponants in the Europa league about his tactics.

The Franchise wrote:I didnt say anything about the Portuguese league. But on that point, him and his team completely destroyed Benfica 5-0. Which team, even in the CL managed that?

That Porto team was fantastic, it doesnt matter what league they played in.

I didnt say anything about proven either, we were talking about his tactics. His tactics in the Europa league were fantastic and his tactics vs Benfica were the same.

For the third time, EUROPA LEAGUE.
