The Chelsea Daily Drivel - Ramires deal done?

"“I think they will win the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League this season” "

""Manchester City did the same thing last summer, I don't know if they'll be stronger, I'm not sure. Just because you bring in 10 new players, it doesn't mean you're going to be on top of the table.

There are still teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool who will always be at the top. Manchester City can do well because they have brought good players in this year but the reality is on the pitch. You can have 10 new players and it doesn't guarantee you anything.

It's good to keep the same team. This is the squad that won the league and FA Cup double last season. We know how to win. We'll try to bring some youth players through and they will show their quality. From there, we will have a good squad ready for the Premier League and Champions League.

We are still the team to beat, we are the champions. But everyone will come hard to try to beat us. Since I've joined Chelsea [in 2006], we always fight with Manchester for the title. This year, we will be fighting with four good teams – Manchester, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City.

Everything is possible. Last year, we won the double and went out of the Champions League to the winners, and so it's possible we can win the lot this season. We have the squad and the players to do it.""

"“Mourinho is fully aware of their quality, having managed in the Premier League, My understanding is that Mourinho is doing everything he can to bring them both in before the start of the season. They are our two main transfer targets and Jose will move mountains to sign the two of them.

I can understand Liverpool and Chelsea’s reluctance to sell but that does not mean Jose and the board won’t do everything they can to try and get both signatures. The senior players are really confident that both will arrive.” "
