Shows some balls we all have opinions but there is no way I could debate with a professional football manager especially one with the stature of Sir Bobby. Just goes to show what a man Sir Bobby was. Legend is over used in football, but is not out of place when describing SBR. If the Villa Boas appointment stack better odds in our favour to sign Sturridge then great.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Good signing for Leicester. Good to see West Ham's promotion rivals also strengthening. Would love it if they stayed down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Good signing for Leicester. Good to see West Ham's promotion rivals also strengthening. Would love it if they stayed down. its going to be hard to get promoted next season, Birmingham, Leicester, Forest, Reading, potentially if Leeds strengthen they could challenge Cardiff if they get their act together and sign some players and above all else West Ham will be the big scalp for the sides next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingdawson Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 For me, Falcao is nailed on for Chelsea if gets the job Torres, Drogba, Sturridge, Falcao, and Anelka...how can they accomodate all of them? Probably sell Anelka and listen to offers for Sturridge is my guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 They're not even in our league but I hate PSG and their new Qatari owners. Wonder if we'd have signed Gameiro if it weren't for their takeover? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably sell Anelka and listen to offers for Sturridge is my guess. If Villas Boas uses the same styles as with Porto, he will go with 4-3-3. But the twist was that the wingers were more like inside forwards, giving them more attacking power. Falcao played as centre forward with Hulk and Varela as wingers / inside forwards. Torres and Drogba are the type of players that would fit the centre forward spot, so no real need for them to sign Falcao. Sturridge is not a winger, but could employ that role more easily in Villas Boas' formation. I could actually see him fitting very well into his plans (same type of role as Hulk). Also Kalou and Malouda would fit very well in his system. Don't know about Anelka though, don't see him fitting too well into it. So I would see them going for Hulk rather than Falcao.

Disco Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Surely theyll bin Drogba & Anelka, & possibly Kalou. They seem to be trying to usher in a new era given the players theyve been linked with (lukaku, de bruyne etc.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
