&lt;p&gt;This Chelsea team is becoming a even bigger "star" team than the
Galacticos&amp;nbsp;ever were&amp;nbsp;at Real Madrid...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
nonsense. to&amp;nbsp;match the 2002-2003 galacticos, Chelsea would
need Messi, C.Ronaldo, Kaka, Gerrard and Torres playing for them.
Equivalent to Raul, Figo, Zidane, Beckham and Ronaldo.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;The Spanish league will get more and more boring with all the
star players leaving it for the Premiership... Real will sack their
coach again next season after they fail in the champions league
again...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;no la.. La Liga is still as competitive.. at least it will drop
to scottish where only two clubs reign supreme.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Real won't sack their coach unless the coach wants to win the
La_liga, then hop to SerieA and then to EPL, finally S-league
before returning to La-Liga again..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Motivation is key.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;There is a very good chance Chelsea will win the Premier league
title again if they bring in those names they mention... The
difference is very slim last season and if United loses Ronaldo,
Then even with the present squad, they could still do it let alone
spend another $100 million.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Actually, i belief last season had they not sold Robben, they
may have won the premiership regardless who was in charge... Robben
was a player that could change a game when he came on... At present
i don's see any one in the Chelsea squad able to do that...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only thing i can see stopping Chelsea from winning next
season is... They shoot themselves in the foot again... other than
that... nothing can stop them like in the 2004 season... A one
horse race again...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;yes, it is a one horse race in EPL, chelsea will sweep..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;last season if Ballack was not injured earlier, they would have
won. And yes, he is that influenical.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, it is sweet to stop Chelsea at the last minutes both in
the league and European Championships.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Time to see Chelsea and Real Madrid's show.. The rest can buy
tickets and watch..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;scolari, interesting to see how he can adapt to the english
game!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

      <description>&lt;h1&gt;Scolari's Blueprint - Kaka tops the bill at &#163;60m along with
Ribery and Torres&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=
"http://sgforums.com/sport/football/article-1026107/Scolaris-Blueprint--Kaka-tops-60m-Ribery-Torres.html"
class="" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b9cc6;"&gt;&lt;img src=
"http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/06/12/article-0-0196226E00000578-207_468x286.jpg"
height="286" alt="" width="468" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Luiz Felipe Scolari believes he can use his Brazilian
influence to persuade Kaka to sign for Chelsea in a world record
&#163;60million move from AC Milan. Sportsmail can reveal that Chelsea
will intensify their pursuit of the World Player of the Year after
the forward was made the club's top target during the new manager's
talks with chief executive Peter Kenyon last week.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fernando Torres, of Liverpool and Spain, is a firm target and
Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery, France's dynamic midfielder, has
also been flattered by Chelsea's formal approach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=""&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Milan will be determined to keep Kaka, who signed a five-year
contract in March, but Chelsea have received some encouragement
from the forward. Milan missed out on a place in the Champions
League after finishing fifth in Serie A last season and Kaka, who
was a member of Brazil's 2002 World Cup-winning squad, is
considering the move.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chelsea are prepared to offer Didier Drogba and Andriy
Shevchenko in partexchange, but money will be no object this
summer. The club are determined to make three 'mind-blowing'
signings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scolari approved the approaches during his meeting with Kenyon
but the future of others will not be clear until he takes up the
manager's post on July 1. Chelsea confirmed that the deal to make
Scolari manager was concluded last Friday. He will bring a number
of coaching staff with him and the future of assistant manager
Steve Clarke is no longer clear after Scolari told Kenyon he will
make a decision on his role only after he has met the Scot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;</description>

height="390" alt="" width="280" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MICHAEL ESSIEN backs Luiz Felipe Scolari to
deliver the QUADRUPLE.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;The Chelsea midfielder roared: &#8220;I can state straight
away that we will contend for all titles next season. &#8220;The new
manager will push us to compete for everything. I know we will come
back for the new campaign refreshed with a hunger for revenge.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;Brazilian legend &lt;strong&gt;PELE&lt;/strong&gt; insisted: &#8220;Luiz
is a great coach and can lead any team in the world. I&#8217;m sure the
job will go well as he gets good results wherever he goes. Any side
would want him.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;Brazil World-Cup winner &lt;strong&gt;RIVALDO&lt;/strong&gt; said:
&#8220;Scolari demands total discipline and he likes to have direct
contact with the players. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think he will change when he is
in England &#8212; he will be a success.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&#8220;This is very good news for Chelsea and for the English
game.&#8221; Blues players are excited about the Brazilian&#8217;s arrival.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;Keeper &lt;strong&gt;PETR CECH&lt;/strong&gt; said: &#8220;Scolari has
great charisma, great experience and great results. I am looking
forward to working with him.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;Portugal defender &lt;strong&gt;PAULO FERREIRA&lt;/strong&gt;
added: &#8220;He is a good boss and he can do a job. It will be good for
the club as a whole.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;And Brazilian ace &lt;strong&gt;JULIANO BELLETTI&lt;/strong&gt;
revealed: &#8220;He is very intelligent. He will know how to deal with
everything.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&#8220;He was responsible for putting me in the national team
in the 2002 World Cup. &#8220;It will be great for Chelsea to have a
Brazilian boss.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
