AVB says Cahill is the man

Chelsea manager Andre Vills-Boas says Cahill is the first step in his building a new Chelsea side.

With the drawn out transfer of the England International Cahill done, and dusted, after he agreed to a salary of £80,000 a week, and a contract to the year 2017.

It had taken AVB nearly six months to get his man from Bolton, who he says will be a vital instrument in the rebuilding of the team.

‘He had good technical abilities which is important in the way we want to play and to implement our passing philosophy.’

With Alex looking like he could be on his way to QPR, Cahill will probably play along side his England compatriot John Terry in the Blues central defense.

With a few more Chelsea player on there way out it will be interesting to see how AVB builds his team now that he has a block to start with.
