It was reported that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes. While Moyes flat out denied the reports, Villas-Boas claimed that they were not interested in midfielders.
The Portuguese manager claimed he commented on various players and it did not necessarily mean he was interested in acquiring their signature. He revealed it was unfair to link the Blues with every player he mentioned in his interviews.
Villas-Boas said while speaking to reporters:
“I saw that we'd been linked with him. First, it's important to clarify that it's unfair that I constantly comment on other players.”
According to Villas-Boas, Chelsea were currently in no need of reinforcements in the midfield department. He was certain that was not one of the areas they had to strengthen in the winter transfer window, which is why he the rumours linking Chelsea to Rodwell
and Luka Modric were false.
Villas-Boas continued:
“In midfield, we don't need players. Rodwell has been playing there this season.
Midfield is not a sector where we're desperate to strengthen our squad. So at the moment those stories are false.”
The Blues have a host of talented players in their midfield, ranging from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Essien-c25294 from a long term injury. The Ghanaian will be like a new signing for the London
side when he returns.
It was for these reasons Andre Villas-Boas insisted he was not interested in the services of Rodwell or Modric, both of whom have been heavily linked with Chelsea. While he admitted the Tottenham Hotspur playmaker was highly talented, he claimed the Blues
had no use for him.
He revealed:
“In the future, I don't know about Modric. We're not looking at it at the moment.
He's an extremely creative player, one of the greatest talents in the world, a player who will have tremendous success.”
