Isn't this a case of two plus two equals six here?? Surely the press have something better to do than to carry on with the ridiculous articles about Roman turning up the heat on AVB by attending training every day this week!
The next ridiculous rumour is that AVB is to be replaced by Fabio Capello "sooner rather than later"!

It's the Chelsea Daft Show!

With matters outside of football keeping Roman Abramovich busy, it was great to hear that he was at Cobham to see the players train on Saturday, to see AVB for a chat about things and to attend the game on Sunday. Roman even popped in to chat with the players for 30 minutes after the 3-3 draw with United.

Andy Carroll who has come under intense fire from the Liverpool faithful the past few weeks for his inconsistent performances, responded to his critics by scoring in Liverpool's 3-0 win over Wolves yesterday.

The £35 million signing from Newcastle opened the scoring for the Reds, to take his tally for the club to 7.

Out of the blue this story came to light over the weekend. There are reports all over the place that Chelsea have made a bid that has been rejected, have been told that the player is not for sale at any price and that seems that.
In addition to all this, AVB has said at the weekend that "he is an interesting player" but wanted to sign players who are not cup-tied for European competition this season.

Abramovich orders change - the days of BIG contracts are over.

Let's be honest here, and I have said it before, the whole situation with the transfer saga of Gary Cahill has us all wondering what the hold up could be. I cannot remember Chelsea agreeing a fee with a club and then literally taking weeks to conclude the terms with the player. It's a sign that times are a changing at Chelsea, or have they already?

As I understand it, the salient bullet points are as follows: Chelsea want to buy Gary Cahill for £7 million; Bolton want to sell Gary Cahill for £7 million, Gary Cahill wants to join Chelsea; Gary Cahill's agent asked for £120,000-a-week wages (presumably on the basis he scores more often than Fernando Torres); Chelsea aren't stupid.

I think we all agree that the Chelsea job isn't exactly a bed of roses based on the levels of expectation put on you as manager. You would imagine that only the most confident, determined and focused managers would even entertain the idea of taking the hot seat here and a task of taking the club out of the shadows of the Jose Mourinho era at the club.

Today wasn't exactly the end-all day of days for Chelsea to buy back Stamford Bridge. Nevertheless, it will be seen as a roadblock in the club's attempt to move forward with a new stadium. For those unaware, the club did receive the required 75 percent of votes from shareholders at Thursday's general meeting of Chelsea Pitch Owners that would have allowed the club to purchase back the freehold and thus move it to a new stadium in the very near future.

In defence of Fernando Torres

For Fernando Torres, it will be a long way back to media approval. His move to Chelsea, for a record £50m, will lead to him always being highly scrutinised and criticised for each game where he doesn't score.

His performance against Manchester United, which included a fine goal, a number of feats of fleeting footwork and concluded a great week for him, which included two assists against Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday, will be remembered for one other incident.

Well that's what we are to believe if you read this headline from the article posted here which caught my attention last night.
I do not believe for one second that Roman Abramovich has "ordered" AVB to play the kids or has told him to do it in a way the press are making out at all.
For me it would be in his remit for when he took the job.

Roman had a dream, and it died a quiet death

By Darshan Joshi

Like Martin Luther King Jr., Roman Abramovich has a dream. Or, rather, he had a dream, which really was less a dream than a looming reality. Problem is, it was ever looming, and it now seems to have passed him by. The Champions League trophy was on Abramovich's horizon for years, yet it turned out to be no more than a mirage, a now long-lost memory of hope forgone.

LA LIGA LUNES : Juan Mata, The Male Model

There's something about Juan Mata which screams "Spanish Jack Wilshere!" but apart from looking a tad bit like each other (here we go with the Twin Spotting again...) there are some key differences. Mata primarily operates in the left wing while Wilshere is an attacking midfielder but those are forward positions nonetheless so perhaps they should meet and have a cuppa!

Let me start this post by saying – what an epic win. So, it took obscene amounts of money, and a tad tasteless (if somewhat understandable) sacking of a perfectly honest man, but Chelsea now have the kind of manager they most need for the next phase of papa Abramovich's grand project – rebuilding.

It's seems that with the appointment of Andres Villas-Boas at Chelsea and the continued press and media coverage that follows there seems to be two important points that have pretty much gone un-noticed as far as I am concerned.

After weeks of speculation about who the main man was going to be at Chelsea, it seems there could be two arriving at Stamford Bridge with Guus Hiddink coming in as Director of Football and Andre Villas-Boas as the new First Team Coach.

Chelsea and Manchester United will engage in an auction for the services of Luka Modric. Not ITK, just obvious, and something I've mentioned a couple of times since the season finished. He's one of the top midfielders in Europe and certainly the best outside the top four, with the possible exception of Gerrard who is welded to his club.

New Manager to be offered just 12 month contract?

I was reading this article by Jason Burt in The Telegraph and it really got me thinking. The article talks about the deal for Romelu Lukaku and others but moves onto to discuss the situation regarding the new manager at the club.
It's believed that Guus Hiddink is he preferred choice to come back to the club, but Abramovich is keeping two other options open to him in Jose Mourinho and Mark Hughes BUT, with a different strategy altogether as far as a contract offer goes.
