Eds, now Baldini has officially been announced, do you think we will start to see some much needed early transfer action?
Also from what I've read AVB is right behind the Baldini move, so does this mean he will 100% be our manager next year? Your thoughts please. {Ed002's Note - The "correct" transfers that add to the squad are far more important than "early transfer action".}

Believable3 Unbelievable5

What's your thoughts on AVB now Ed? {Ed002's Note - Same as ever. The Chelsea job was too early - with the help of Baldini at Spurs he will do just fine.}

Agree3 Disagree6

Well said Ed. To many people getting worried because of lack of signings it's ridiculous.

Agree4 Disagree5

AVB going nowhere, looking forward to him having an even better season next year.

Agree10 Disagree5

Why are you asking about thoughts on AVB? Were you asleep all last season? Have some faith.

Agree2 Disagree4

Disagree about eds comment about the Chelsea job being too early, was it too early for Scolari, Di Matteo, Ancelloti et al? Lampard and Terry got him sacked. The Chelsea job is poison, surely its Abramovich and his demands of winning everything due to his outlay that is the reason. {Ed002's Note - AVB was sacked by Chelsea as the result of an independent assessment of his training and tactics that found them to be one dimensional and predictable.}

Agree3 Disagree5

How about some 'correct early transfer action'. he's been doing this long enough.

Agree1 Disagree2

But ed you forgot to add that avb had more points per game than his replacement RDM and he was closer to the top 4 too in that season.
Even you must admit that you do need to find consistency in the managers chair at Chelsea? {Ed002's Note - Why? Have Chelsea not been successful?}

Agree4 Disagree2

Di matteo was very one dimensional too ed.
he reversed that bus in and there it stayed. {Ed002's Note - And he went.}

Agree6 Disagree2

Chelseas tactics are to buy every talent possible by the incentive of over inflated wages. Chelseas older players weren't capable of performing to Avbs modern tactics of his infamous high line although as someone pointed out above his points tally was good.

So Rdm went due to his predictability too, is that an admittance of Chelseas luck in winning the Cl?

I think AVB is far from one dimensional, I agree the players got him the sack @ chavski. he was commisioned with bringing in younger players and outing the old, all the chavs I know liked AVB. Again I agree the chelsea job is poison. I only the happy one being there 18 months for that very reason.

danno-82 {Ed002's Note - He was sacked by Chelsea as the result of an independent assessment of his training and tactics - as I said.}

Agree4 Disagree2

Who did the assessment ed? Was Avb the only Chelsea manager who got sacked to get this assessment? {Ed002's Note - Who did it is irrelevant but he was not the only manager that left as a result of advice of the assessor.}

Agree1 Disagree3

Was abramovic the assessor ed.
I'm thinking he was. {Ed002's Note - Of course not.}

Agree2 Disagree2

Touch of sarcasm in that last post ed I think.

Agree3 Disagree2

Was John Terry the assessor? If this assessor knows their stuff soo much why doesn't he/she take the Chelsea job? i'm amazed that this was the procedure. {Ed002's Note - Clearly there is no point in explaining anything if all you are going to do is type rubbish about something you clearly don't understand.}

Agree2 Disagree2

I'm amazed a club would employ a person to oversee the training undertaken by a manager. Is this common procedure through out the premiership Ed?
If this assessor was so clued up, why is he not a top class manager himself? {Ed002's Note - He is an advisor to the club. Perhaps he has been a manager.}

Agree1 Disagree1

Sorry guys, but Ed is 100% right on this one. I don't always agree with what he says (no offence Ed) but he is spot on with this!

Dom

Agree3 Disagree5

I understand a blind Chelsea fan when I see one {Ed002's Note - Feel free to live in blissful ignorance.}

Agree2 Disagree3

Oh come on ed I hardly 'typed rubbish'. Explain then, who is this assessor. Who are they to judge Avb and if their opinion is soo valued as to sack Avb they are obviously valued by Abramovich so why don't they take the job, its a fair question. It isn't a dig at you I feel your being a little touchy, i'm intrigued. {Ed002's Note - You clearly have zero understanding of what happened. I was correcting the ignorance being shown by others.}

Agree2 Disagree3

What is the point of drilling at something that doesn't need to be, its pathetic. Ed002 gives us information

Agree3 Disagree4

I would hazard a guess at Gus Hiddink given his close relationship with the chairman

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed I agree with what you say about the assessor saying avb wasnt good enough and I can see abramovich ridding him on the strength of the assessors report. two things 1, do you think that the old guard helped avb or hindered his time at chelsea and 2. avb must have something about him so as to be wanted by psg and real madrid or do you think he has changed so much because I don't think he has changed THAT much

cheers ed

derbyshire dave {Ed002's Note - I would doubt you will be seeing AVB at Real Madrid. It was really just a job too early at Chelsea. As for the "Old Guard", you are over playing the influence they have and there was until recently a very good chance that the two most prominent members of that OG club would not even be at the club this coming season.}

Agree1 Disagree0

To be fair though Ed, that would of been down to Benitez. A man on a permanent contract, who really had no worries about 'when his time was up'.
Doesn't that show, in a little way, that other managers beforehand, may of been a little sceptical about dropping the 'old guard' in case it affected their future? I'd say John terry is a massive influence in the dressing room. Maybe too over powering for avb or RDM. {Ed002's Note - It was nothing to do with Benitez, it was to do with the owner.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes ed I didn't think madrid was that realistic but when avb was at chelsea the "old guard" were more influential then than as you say they are now. it really doesn't matter either way I am really enjoying his style at spurs but I do feel he didn't get the best from his players because it was the best squad (or there abouts) and they didn't do that well under him. whereas with similar tactics but different staff he seems to be the real deal.

thanks ed dave

SS also confirm (i know its been said elsewhere but tbh I only trust SS) the Bernards agent said that spurs are the only contenders for him!

this lad looks quality from what i've seen, and is only 20. he's also had caps with Brazil!

Believable7 Unbelievable3

Brazil cap just about every player. They are payed by agents to play them so there transfer stock goes up. Even our own Gilberto had a cap to his name.

I've seen on SS how a perm club offered 8 mill for Vydra, I remember hearing a rumour that spurs were an interested party. I think he could be amgood signing for the future? {Ed002's Note - There have been two separate bids - neither from Spurs.}

Believable1 Unbelievable3

I think you'll find one of these clubs is Sunderland that have put the bid in

Agree3 Disagree3

From what I've seen one of these clubs is Sunderland.

Agree5 Disagree3

Fulham is the other
