Chelsea - Evolution

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

I think the question is how long will "Villa's Boss" stay. I like him, well i liked the way Porto played, but Premier league is totally other league than that. I don't think they'll win the league this year and in UCL maybe, and thats a big maybe, semifinals.
Imho, his maximum will be what Ancelotti did. The lack of pacience in this club is what will bring them down, not the transfers.

I can't see them sacking Villas-Boas in good few years unless it goes wrong big time. I mean they have gone through fair few managers since Mourinho left in quick succession and it has become dangerous jobs in eyes of many top managers. Also, where would they go from Villas-Boas? Another desperate effort to attract Hiddink? What if he says no AGAIN? The thing going on for Villas-Boas is his youth and fresh approach. I think Chelsea understand that. There might be ups and downs early on but I reckon that given time and some dosh he will make them competitive.

Ancellotti was simply overrated manager and I said it when they appointed him. He rode those two Champion's League wins but other than that his career is sketchy and he wasn't even regularily succesfull with Milan.

Sorry mate but I'm sick to death of reading stuff like this from you. You make stuff like this up all the time. "I said this months ago"....."I warned people this would happen"....."I did tell everyone this but no one listened".

Here's what you actually said about Ancellotti before the start of last season:

I think he is one of the best managers in the world. I knew it when he came to Chelsea and expected him to do well.

Sorry for being a sad case and searching this but your 'I told you so' posting style finally made me crack today. Stop being an 'I told you so' merchant because half the time you didn't tell us so, you simply made it up to prove a point. It does you no favours at all.

For the record, I agree with your previous assessment of him and think your latest one is tripe.

That's a good find actually. I feel like I've always thought he was poor, considering his record but obviously not. I'm genuinely surprised but my opinions must've moulded during his Chelsea stay. Interesting.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Quality Antti!

Definitely OWN3D there.

Wow, looking at this objectively, what a fantastic post and an excellent piece of detective work.

When confronted by such a fabulous broadside, all you can do is quit whilst you're behind.

Do you have any idea how long he has been trying to do that. He tried something like that regarding Silva about 6 months ago and was wrong there. I pretty much assume he has been trying to get me eversince. Do you understand how much searching it takes to find that inconsistency among 35k posts?

It's still good find though.

Mate if I had been trying for months I'd have done this long before now. Considering that every second post of yours contains a phrase similar to "I told everyone this months ago", opportunities wouldn't be hard to find. It's terrible trait you have and, as has been proved on this occasion, it's generally just lies. Do you do it because you think it makes you appear insightful??

Also, you did say Silva was lightweight and would take a long time to adapt. No doubt in a few month time you'll be telling everyone that you said the minute we signed him that "he'd hit the ground running and deliver in his first season", "I told everyone but no one believed me" etc etc.

As for the search, it took 2 mins. I searched 'Ancellotti'. Piece of piss.

Lastly, back to trying for months, I hope you genuinely don't think that. This really isn't important enough for me for that. I think you're a great poster and a brilliant contributor to this board. It's just that the 'I told you so' stuff has become so regular of late that it has become extremely annoying.

I was just joking.

Honestly though, I really really felt I had always thought that about Ancellotti. I find it rather interesting that my feelings about him changed so dramatically during his Chelsea stay.

Well, looks like it's started. SSN reporting that Chelsea are putting Malouda on the transfer list with the arrival of Mata. This is one player that I wouldn't have minded taking if we hadn't have got Nasri.

I don't think the transition is going to be long and drawn-out, AVB will want to change it quickly to ensure Roman's 50 mil signing gets his opportunities.

Heard that too but now SSN and AVB say,

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has revealed the club have no intention of selling winger Florent Malouda.

The arrival of Spanish play-maker Juan Mata this week has raised doubts about the future of the former Lyon winger.

Italian outfit Juventus are rumoured to be interested in the player, with reports this week suggesting the Serie A club were set to step-up up their interest in the 31-year-old France international.

Villas-Boas' interest in another left-sided player, Porto's Alvaro Pereira, further fuelled the Malouda exit talk.

However, when quizzed on the whether Mata's arrival would signal the end of Malouda's Chelsea career, the Portuguese was adamant a player of the Frenchman's ability was not going to leave West London.

"As we are speaking about the number of goals and assists that Mata has made at Valencia, let's speak about the number that Malouda has made for Chelsea," said the 33-year-old.

"We can't let ourselves sell talent of this quality."

but we'll see..their midfield is stacked. i wont be surprised if benayoun leaves before the window closes.

Wise words from AVB. Just can't believe that SSN got it so wrong.
